BB problems.

Post by marcusrg »

Hi all. When I tried to open the BB this morning, it didn't open at all, as if my navigator was not connected. I went to IRC and found out that PhantorGorth was having the same problem in UK (I'm from Brazil). Well, the site came back to me, but not to PhantorGorth. Did anyone have this problem today?

I've not experienced any problems so far, (in the UK), but will advise if I have any problems during the course of the day.

Seems like an intermitent issue, Just went off for a while, and back again. I'm at the irc at https://client00.chat.mibbit.com/?url=i ... t%2Foolite in case BB goes off again.

Back up for me again. This a definitely odd intermittent issue.

I just received a "MySQL: Too many connections" error. On refreshing the page, everything was fine again. The foot of the page stated that 23 users were active, though I don't know what that figure might mean in terms of database connections.

Haven't noticed any problems today at all. Strange phenomenon.

Seems that some idiot turned "smart" GeoIP filtering on!

I cannot access aegidian.org from Russia (tried several ISPs) :twisted: , but it works fine with proxy.

The provider's firewall has been blocking a number of Russian IP blocks after a series of attacks on their servers. They've cleared the problem now, so access should have returned.

I seem to be having problems accessing the bb now, both from work and from home. VPN to the UK works fine, and I can also access on my phone using 3G. Not sure where the problem lies, but could the smart people here please check if they can find anything wrong on the bb side.

Try this to check the general upness of sites like the BB: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/aegidian.org

Not that it helps with your particular problem (sorry, Gimi), but the URL is just too cool 8)

Thanks Maik.

Not sure what's going on. I find it strange that this is happening both at work and at home given that my work connection is on a totally different IP range. My pad is also blocked, so it's not something strange going on with my computer. I have a pretty good VPN connection to the UK, so I can always get access, but I would like to get this sorted.

This is weird.
I have been doing some testing, and I can reach Aegidian's ISP web page (http://www.ukservers.com/), but not the bb or the actual aegidian.org site.
Also, I have been unable to find any other site that is blocked.

Hmm
