Is that an error you are seeing from my server, or from your browser? I suspect the latter...

It appears we're under a big DDOS attack.

Are we having fun yet? :wink:

Yup. Thanks.

Something big's going down!

Don't yet fully understand it.

[QUOTE=chalsall;362332]Is there a particular URL you can't access?
This /could/ be a problem on your end.[/QUOTE]The problem's here too. DNS fails to resolve (|[url]www.|gimps.)gpu72.com[/url]
On the other hand, 50.21.180.9 pings just fine.

Thanks James.

So, then, what this most likely means is someone has found a way to multiply their DNS queries to bother legitimate users.

I would argue that this is actually the fault of the "founders" of the internet.

Why would the the founders of the internet assume that every participant was benign?

OK here as well.

No issue here. Perhaps an international routing error?

If it is DNS then you could have no visible issue if you (or someone nearby) have recently accessed GPU72.com and the lookup is cached.
If it's DNS-DDOS then the issue could be intermittent, and after one successful lookup you also won't see a problem until the DNS cache expires.

Ok from Thailand. (or it was fixed meantime?)

I'm okay now. Not sure what it was. I had used downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it said the site was running fine which had me worried. I'm "glad" to see others had the issue and am also glad it's better now.

For me, anyway.


It happens to the best. A couple of weeks ago or so YouTube was down via DDOS. I don't know if it's more of a thing now than before.
