I just checked the link. I believe it is correct. The domain name looks sketchy, but it has all the nitty gritty engineering data.

If I remember correctly, I think I found a link from the actual Mitsubishi website linking to it

View on HN

Did you try connecting to the server?

A Google search on the hostname does return entries for Mitsubishi, DNS points to AWS.

Yes. I might be missing something obvious. Are we talking about the my link drive website? If so, yes. I clicked the link from my website and it took me straight to the website with no issue.

I might be misunderstanding something

If we're talking about https://mylinkdrive.com/USA/M_Series I also can't access it, I get:

  This site can’t be reached
  Check if there is a typo in mylinkdrive.com.
  DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Hmmmm. That’s is VERY odd. That links resolves fine in my phone . I’m US based. I wonder if they have some sort of geo blocking

According to https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/mylinkdrive.com, it resolves in most of the US locations and in Japan, China, and Singapore, but fails elsewhere.

https://dnschecker.org/#A/mylinkdrive.com gives similar results - resolves fine in North America (US/Canada/Mexico) and a few other counties (Brazil/Ireland/Russia/China, and one of the two Australia sites), but fails elsewhere (including in Singapore).

Geoblocking seems like a possibility.

Fails in the UK.
