Because of censorship of catbox.moe at the DNS server level, this is how I viewed the image. In Linux terminal:

curl -L -H "Host: files.catbox.moe" --insecure https://108.181.20.39/oot16e.jpeg -o oot16e.jpe

Another trick is change the DNS to not be censored.

Catbox works using Woodynet as DNS 9.9.9.9 or nine.nine.nine.nine

Woodynet will keep your snoopy isp from knowing where you are looking.

That could sometimes work. However, the Catbox FAQ says even Quad9 (9.9.9.9), with IBM as a founder, sometimes blocks the file sharing website:

Quad9 actually pulls an aggregate list of URL blacklists and uses them for their filtered DNS service. Catbox is frequently added to no-name blacklists for various reasons. How to resolve? - Use Quad9's alternative DNS server 9.9.9.10, or switch to another public DNS server.
