Why we were down today
« on: February 27, 2020, 03:05:53 PM »
The server that we are hosted on was given a new IP address to mitigate a denial of service attack that was being done to an IP in the same range. The DNS records were updated and that took a few hours to propagate around the Internet.

FWIW, I had to flush my local DNS in order to reconnect one of my computers.  In case anyone has the same problem.

I'm still having problems viewing on Safari on my Mac, but not on my phone - anything I can do?
