Unavailable, only reachable through proxy server!

I dove right in. I let this page (and the consecutive links on the bottom of said page), guide me along and... still zippo.

I have to say, the amount of stuff that is within my power is now exhausted. And besides, if it were, as I said, a network issue on my side, then why the heck is it this site alone and not anything else? My settings are fine, everything is fine.

It’s not unusual than something specific is affected and it’s only you. This happened to me some time ago. Only the LHC was affected as far as I could tell, only I was affected, and then it fixed itself over time through a strange route, nothing was changed in the LHC.

I’ve copied and pasted what you’ve written Gumball in case this happens to me in the future. Not that I’ll necessarily understand it but I could Google around any phrases I don’t understand. It did happen to me a few months ago so it’s good to know what steps to take.

Thanks for taking the time to set out such detailed instructions.

Same, same, and indeed, thank you Gumball!

I just had a Win11 update, and still nothing. I keep trying though.

And on the number of people this time (me?), you do have to take into account that the ones not able to reach are powerless to report this issue. The last time it happened I think I was the only one that "broke" through with a proxy server. If I hadn't done so, it would still be a mystery. I mean, just sayin'. I still think that it's worth checking into site-based as well. Yes, just to be on the safe side that nothing more is going on.

I’ve been having issues since the photo uploader started working again. I can access on my phone, but not through Wi-Fi. I’m trying to follow the proxy settings, but it’s confusing for me

Try web-proxy services. Easy. You go to a site like that, type in the URL and there you go. I do have to, after logging in, go back to the main page, and reload, as I get a serious error message right after logging in through the proxy service. But hey, I'm determined, what can I say.

Gumball's sig has a direct email link to contact a mod independent of this site's status. No help of course if you don't save it somewhere for when it might be needed

Given the number of us who were involved in the previous thread, despite whatever hoops we had to jump through to get to it, that is blatantly untrue.

If you want anyone to be able to seriously investigate what or where the issue may be, you're going to need to provide some solid information. Just repeating that it's not working doesn't tell anyone anything that could be used as a diagnostic. What was the result of your ping tests? What IPs did the traceroute report? What information can you provide to help them help you, beyond insisting that it can't possibly be your end?

I still can’t figure out what to do and using my phone to scroll has been hard. I am so bad with tech stuff

What exactly is the issue you are experiencing? What is the content of any errors? Are there other devices you normally use that you are experiencing this on, or is it just your phone?

I couldn't access the site for over a week then suddenly I was able to again. -shrugs-

Something in my network it not able to communicate with the forum. When I try to access the site on wifi or wired I get a time out error. It is the any of the community forums specifically though, I can access the home page fine. It is all devices connected to my home network. My husband suspected it to be a DNS issue and ran through the steps to clear and rest it. He then made sure we can acres IPv6 and 4. He is not sure why the site is not accessible from Wi-Fi/Wired. This is the only site having this issue that we are aware of.

Thank you
