Still working for me in Chrome and Edge, definitely a browser specific issue, so if it doesn't work just try another one. But I agree, it's definitely going to become an issue very shortly, this is why we're working on changing the .free TLD now before this kind of stuff is more widespread.

Or rather more specifically, navigating to the page will result in errors in most web browsers because of the name collision with the ICANN domain.  Irrespective of what we plan to do with .free as a TLD, we should get a page working as an alternative for registrations.  As is, because the registration is on this domain, .indy and .geek registrations are also unavailable, and I do not believe these gTLDs.  I guess I'll just have to go with the .com I managed to snag for the little starter homepage I was knocking up for my name server.

To the best of my knowledge, the .indy TLD at least isn't contested, and my existing domain seems to resolve fine, but I cannot register a new one as a result of this, which I was hoping to do as a domain name by which a little "howto" frontpage for the nameserver could be reached.
