    Issues to connect to AO

    Hi guys,

    Did you made changes on the site ?

    I can't reach AO from a computer connected to internet either at work or at home.

    I can only access the site from my phone or connecting my computer to my phone and use my phone as modem.

    The problem is the same whatever the provider I tried (I tried with the 2 most important here in France).

    Thanks for your help !!!!!!!

    Negative. We've made no IP filtering changes at all. In fact, I turned OFF the IP filtering for our Spam blocker software.

    I have the same problem, and exactly the same symptoms.

    I found a way to circumvent that but I'm not really liking it as permanent solution. (using firefox proxy addon Anonymox)

    Yes.

    Though I can connect from work. I know that we use Swedish isp.

    I can also get all the way to AO's hosting service provider but the final step to the actual server times out.

    I see I'm not alone !
    I hope the problem will be solved soon !

    For information, I tried with IE, firefox nd chrome on my computer for the same result.
    The problem is the same on my ipad with safari.

    So this problem seems to be with members in Europe so far, France, Finland, Sweden.

    Anybody in the US or Canada having similar issues?

    The issue is the same with airgun designs.
    Not MCB.
    Could it be a server problem ?

    Keep the information coming. We can forward all of this to the hosting company to see what is going on.

    The situation has degraded for me over the night. Today I haven't been able to connect trough my phone or at work. This firefox proxy add-on is now the only thing that works. It seems to have also stopped all the email updates I get for subscribed threads.

    edit:
    I can still get up to vpn.techpro.com

    The same for me.

    I've to use the firefox proxy addon Anonymox. And I don't like it !

    It could mean that there's now an IP filtering or origin filtering system.

    That's logic.
    I emaied you because at this moment I could only reach a cache archive on chrome, and it was the only way to get in touch with you.
    I hope it didn't caused issues.
    Thanks

    From the hosting company:

    Connectivity should work for the IPs mentioned below now. Those IPs fall within a range that got automatically blocked by our systems due to malicious activity against our servers occurring from IPs within that range. We removed the block earlier today, so the affected users should be able to access the sites again.

    I pulled your IP address from the VBulletin forum software (we capture that stuff). I'll PM that to you and you can verify that it's right.

    Phone is going to be more problematic - IP addresses can change on those quite a bit. Can you use WiFi to connect or are you stuck using the mobile wireless network?

    I can use it in wifi at home and have to test it at work tomorrow. I do most of my AO reading during the commute which is mobile data only.

    What phone do you have? I'll see if I can find a way to get a mobile network IP range.

    %*&^#$&^!!!!!

    Have him to go "whatismyip.com" and get that IP address. I'll send it up the chain.

    Also, ask him if he resides in another country or not. And if so, which one?

    iPhone 5s. I can check what's my ip on it if that helps.
