Its alive...the old DU is back up....

[Historic NY]

i'm glad the proxy server was slowing down from all of us.

Well maybe..

[MineralMan]

1. It must have been a regional thing. I was able to use DU normally

all day yesterday, with no problems. I'm in Saint Paul, MN.

[bananas]

9. Yes, it was regional - which is why it was so weird

Usually the net routes around regional problems within a relatively short time span.
It was out in the southwest, southeast, europe, and asia: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=529776&mesg_id=529776
and based on the responses below, it's still out in many areas.

[Poboy]

15. Wrong. Some here have explained they were UNable to get here from

there home, but from a remote/away computer were able to get here.

[bananas]

28. Not wrong. nt

[JDPriestly]

25. I could not get on in California.

[pecwae]

2. I still can't get in

through regular channels. Have to use a proxy IP to gain access.

[lpbk2713]

3. For you maybe.

Each ISP has to refresh their cache one at a time.
Mine is still not working, I just checked.
I still have to go thru a proxy.

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. it is working finally for me - but still doesn't look quite normal (font too large)

[nc4bo]

5. Finally got in via 4.2.2.2. Nothing else worked and couldn't login w/proxy

although I was grateful just to be able to see the forum.

Good Lawd.

[reggie the dog]

19. do you just typ 4.2.2.2. instead of democraticunderground.com ?

[nc4bo]

22. No, you have to go into your computers network connections then

>local area connection properties>internet protocol>properties> click on >use the following dns servers address> and enter 4.2.2.2 into the blank spaces then click ok.

That's for Windows, not sure with a Mac or Linux.

[HughBeaumont]

33. That actually worked. Thanks.

[PA Democrat]

6. Welcome back. I haven't had problems but noticed

traffic seemed down yesterday. I thought maybe some of you guys were having a party somewhere and I wasn't invited!:(

[FourScore]

7. It's ba-ack! n/t

[Lisa0825]

8. Not for me.... can still only access by proxy. nt

[CrownPrinceBandar]

10. Not in my neck of the woods.

[Kali]

11. not for me

still using a proxy

[taught_me_patience]

12. It was down all day in Long Beach yesterday

Nice to be back.

[madfloridian]

13. Not working for me yet. Still using a proxy.

And it limits how I can use DU.

Would like to hear more about how long this will go on?

[yourout]

14. Still proxy here in Wisconsin....damn Charter.

[nc4bo]

17. Charter, Comm customer in NC checking in..........argh.

Finally got on using second google dns but I gotta tell ya, ever since they announced another speed increase the service has sucked mightily.

Gonna call them and ask what good is a speed increase if the service doesn't work?!

grrr......

[elocs]

26. I have Charter too here in WI. n/t

[GoCubsGo]

16. Same here. n/t

[sad sally]

18. Was down all day here on the northwest coast.

And the only place I could find that mentioned anything about a problem with a link to FR - ick! Had never been there before and for all their rantings about how bad we (DU's) are, didn't see any useful discussions about much of anything.

[GoCubsGo]

21. I saw that FR link, too.

They were trying to blame this on Anonymous. I finally went to Facebook and searched for DU. Got the freeproxy link there.

[tabatha]

29. Who cares what they think.

It is never correct, anyway.

[travelingtypist]

23. I'm on the Pacific NW as well and it's been gone since yesterday here.

I'm back on as normal now thankfully.

[Lugnut]

20. It's back but not exactly.

I've been getting a bug report when I try to post. For all I know this post won't go through.


On edit: It worked! :)

[elocs]

24. Not for me. I still get: "Server not found". On edit: 45 minutes later, it's back. n/t

[canetoad]

27. Still down in Melbourne

Using proxy.

[SharonRB]

30. I couldn't get in from home or work until this morning

Had to use the proxy from Canada.

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. yesterday I noticed poor slow connection, today seems fine.

[Historic NY]

32. Its back in full swing new completely.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

34. still couldn't get in with DNS servers of

8.8.8.x (google)

Finally (obviously) found a way in on 4.2.2.1

sP

[FarLeftRage]

35. Not yet... not for me...

Still using a Spanish proxy and I'm in Upstate NY....
