guttertrash Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm not sure it was related but some of the worlds largest DNS servers were DDoSd today and the symptom was the same as you described. I dont know if its over or all the specifics but it affected a lot of major sites so made headlines on a lot of news sources this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorac Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Maybe it is unrelated but sometimes i cant login to the forums. I only get "wrong password" even though i typed in the correct password. Did not have this problem for a few days but just got it again, like a hour ago. Ah well it is all good now at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atmosph3rik Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Twitter and Reddit are definitely still down for me. I feel so disconnected. I had to google "Why is twitter down" just to find out what was happening lol Dygz_Briarthorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guttertrash Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 if you're still having issues with DNS resolution switching temporarily to other dns servers can solve the issues https://use.opendns.com/ these guys DNS servers seem to return results for most of the affected domain names.
