I'm in Pennsylvania, and I currently get a "451" error code when visiting the DefCad website. I've never seen in the wild before. A bit scary.

That's actually a legit status code:

451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons

> This status code indicates that the server is denying access to the resource as a consequence of a legal demand.
