First of all, I find your comment somewhat rude, given that you don't
know the personal opinion of Dan regarding brexit. He could have
defended leaving EU, or he could have preferred staying there. And even
in the former case, this was a public service, which he provided for
free for many years at his expense.

And second, while technically still registered, the domain is
suspended, like the other 81k domains owned by UK citizens/companies.
It does *not* resolve (NXDOMAIN error code) so, as Dan noted, it went
offline.

These domains are still registered to the original owners, but if their
registration details don't change before 31st March (showing the owner
as eligible to own a .eu domain), they will be dropped ("withdrawn")
and made available for registration on 1st January 2022.
