No fully working public instance on 9 November 2026.
All 10 listed instances run a bot check or failed to answer. The table below lists what we tried. Tell us in the forum if you find one that works.
Checked on 9 November 2026 from two different networks, with the user agent of Safari on iOS 15.8 (the newest system for an iPhone 7). Talk about this guide in the Privacy Enjoyers board.
What it replaces
Priviblur replaces the Tumblr website for reading blogs and posts.
- Works without JavaScript.
- No account needed to view blogs.
Instances on 9 November 2026
| Address | Result | Note |
|---|---|---|
| pb.bloat.cat | bot check | A JavaScript check runs first. |
| priviblur.pussthecat.org | bot check | A JavaScript check runs first. |
Results: works = a real content page came back; bot check = a short JavaScript check runs before the site opens; loads = the start page opens, but a content page was not confirmed; moved = the address now forwards somewhere else; down = no answer. Public instances change often, so check the project's own instance list too.
How to use it
- Open an instance and wait for its bot check.
- Put a blog name after the domain, or search.
On an iPhone 7 (iOS 15.8, Safari 15.6)
The pages need no JavaScript, but the instances run a bot check first, which was not tested on an iPhone 7.
What you keep private, and what you do not
Tumblr sees the instance's server instead of you. The instance you choose still sees your IP address and the pages you open, the same as any website does, so pick an operator you trust, or run your own copy. No guide here needs an account or an email address.
