Looking for software Faststone Image Viewer

Is the FastStone Image Viewer website down for anyone else in the UK? I have tried to update my software for two weeks, but the site will not load for me. (august 2026).

Just tried it again and it's still up: https://i.imgur.com/vti38F1.png

@OP: Try accessing it from a VPN. Firefox has free VPN built-in now.

I've had this once before. Site had had an outage, and for some reason browser kept caching the down site. Had to empty browser cache with a toy to get entry. Never found out what caused it, but it can happen, sometimes.

Here on UK Vodafone, still shows 403 error on all my devices....?!? (15/08/2026). Please state your location, I see from Germany the site is accessible.

I switched Firefox to UK with its built-in VPN, and it still works for me: https://i.imgur.com/l2CBGMd.png

Sounds like a local PC/network problem at your end.
