guttertrash Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Its likely related to the massive DDoS attack on DNS servers happening today. or it could be because they host using OVH who gets DDoSd with alarming regularity Anaximander 1

Is it over now cause i reached the Community page now...
guttertrash Posted October 21, 2016 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.

guttertrash Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 yeah it definitely affected twitter for most of north america and europe that's what got it in the news even if it is over DNS has a way of acting strangely for random periods of time after something like this

Or am I getting it wrong.
Zorac Posted October 21, 2016 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.
Hotwingz Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 wow... Some people just like to see the world burn. Currently the world isnt in such a good place.

Atmosph3rik Posted October 21, 2016 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
guttertrash Posted October 21, 2016 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.
