F95zone connection falls?

[baha_rojo]

Hi! I just post the thread so that one moderator might read it.

Today, f95zone stopped functioning for normal browsers, from 05/10/2023 00:00 to 13:16, somewhere in-between.

Chrome says this website uses HSTS (whatever that means) and i cannot visit you guys. Thought you might be interested. I post a screenshot, in case you want the info.

I had to use tor, same as i do with libgen.is

It shouldn't be a problem of a ban of my provider, but a short "attack to f95" or sth like that? idk you guys are more an expert than me anyway. Location from which i enter: Spain

Good luck <3

UPDATE: Everything works again by 18:23
Solved
Guess it was just you guys updating security

What timezone ? I'm pretty sure that it worked without real problem yesterday, at least starting ~10:00 UTC.

So it wasn't a forum side error. Else you would still have had the error.

Spain timezone: GMT+2
However, since it's working again I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks for taking the time to answer though

It spent five minutes or so failing to load a bit after the midnight backup today.

Have a link for quick sanity checks when it's janky for you: https://status.f95zone.to/

The weird part is that there's no more backup since a bit more than one month

There's sometimes issues, because the Sam/F95 is working on the servers, or the DDoS protection messed something, but generally it's like what you experienced, and it's solved really quickly. But what he experienced is something different.

TOR do not change the way connection with a server works.
It's... Hmm, imagine a road trip. At one moment you pass in a tunnel, it's what TOR is. But whatever before, during, or after, you goes under this tunnel, the road is still the same and your car act exactly the same.
So, if it works with TOR, but not without it, the issue is one of the intermediary between the server and the client. It can also be the client if you need to change it to switch from TOR/not TOR, but it can't be the server.

Well, that would explain why I lost my knack of refreshing this window at exactly the wrong time!
