Must be coincidence, eu.startpage.com seems to be down according to:

It's not a coincidence: startpage has been having problems since Dec 6.
It has nothing to do with me reinstalling Pi-Hole and adding adlists. I
found a thread in Reddit:

Apparently it's the EU servers; they've been working on and off. The US
servers should work.

I also found this:

Why are these guys logging without mentioning their source? For anyone
reading this on electrondepot.com: this is a posting sent through a news
server to the newsgroup comp.sys.raspberry-pi. You're all welcome, use
Eternal September as a (free) news server.
