Something odd going on with the US at present, just done a check on DNS servers, I use DNS jumper to get the best ones, and most of the US ones are unresponsive including Googles and OpenDNS.

I think it's more serious than that. I've been getting several errors and at one point it threw up a sub-folder of the forum software (may have been the install folder). The latest one was 'empty response'.

It's a good thing we have this forum as well as mine and other forums available.

EDIT: Looks like there's a problem with the MyTrainz authentication server as well.

I've got in a few times so it's not totally dead, currently according to the Digital attack map there are large DDoS attacks against the US mainly on DNS.........

Still alive according to ping and tracert, who knows although the routing seems to be a bit unusual.

I'm not having any luck getting on at the moment. I did have a look on that Digital Attack Map site though - looks like quite a few countries are affected but the US is the worst affected.

It looks like my forum and my tutorial sites luckily are still available and running fine. I do use Cloudflare to help mitigate things like that though.

EDIT: I've just been able to access the N3V forums.

Probably got a flakey internet combined with a flakey auran.com

Got the main forum page up now after a very long wait, I tweaked Firefox to extend the timeout a while back. However that's as far as it goes. From the post times I can see it looks as if it died or broke or whatever is happening at around 4pm. Actually same thing happened on Christmas day but cleared after an hour or so guess no one noticed!

Just tried by using the IP in the browser, that isn't working.

As I saved the helpdesk page I got that up OK and submitted a ticket. So Trainzportal seems OK.

I'm getting database errors at the moment so not sure what's up.

Got the main page up again but can't get any further however spotted Spiffy is on line so hopefully he's on the problem. In fact there are apparently 69 members on line?

Looks like we are having a rerun of yesterday, N3V forum has gone unresponsive again, Spiffy confirmed yesterday was due to a DDoS attack on their server host.

Was back to normal again today after an hour.
