Then there was someone who thought that they want to bring us down again! We have been working with our security team from an external company throughout the night to get it out of the way or at least under control.

So far so good, we are online again. However, we ended up deleting something on the forum so we had to load a backup, which has meant that some posts you must have made have been deleted. I can see that it is about a maximum of 20 posts. Many apologies, please post them again.

We continue to work to stabilize the situation and also to make it difficult for our attacker to take us down. Then the site should go offline again, so I hope you at least managed to read this.We apologize once again and hope for your understanding and continued support of the forum.

The simple question is: Who benefits if we are all stuck as "financial slaves on‌ the plantation" to the benefit of the self-appointed unproductive group?

Since you⁠ always provide such valuable advice & tips coupled with great bon mot entertainment, here is⁤ how I am able to reciprocate. I solved the same issue in the following manner:⁣

  1. My initial troubleshooting was using a smartphone with a 4G mobile plan (WiFi disconnected) to⁢ check if I can access this site. It worked.
  2. I then disconnected the 4G and︀ turned on the Wi-Fi. Connection failed.
  3. I turned on my WARP Cloudflare (WARP encrypts your︁ traffic and the DNS queries., meaning your network remains secure, and your Internet Service Provider︂ cannot spy on your activities. The app you use to access WARP also gives you︃ the option to utilize a DNS-over-HTTPS connection, which keeps your DNS queries private.)
  4. On the︄ smartphone, it worked perfectly!
  5. Now on to the laptop. Still not working. Hard reboot (turn︅ the computer and the router off, unplug them both, and wait 5 minutes)
  6. Turn the︆ router and the computer on. Still not working? Apply #3 on my laptop.
  7. If it︇ works, you are good to go. If not, and it's inching along and taking too︈ much time, then move on to #8
  8. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt >︉ type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). It should work. Mine did. I have a desktop︊ and two laptops. One worked after #5. The other worked at #7. The last one︋ worked after #8. C'est la vie.

Good luck!

Tax? What is‌ that? 🙄

All jokes aside, just install Warp Cloudflare client from here Download page, and‍ most (+90%) of your problems will be solved 😉
 
First of all thank you for all the feedback here and also what we get‌ by e-mail.

All of you are right in what you say and suggest, we find‍ it is as much annoying as you do, to adjust CF like this.

We adjust⁠ CF every day from now on and until we are back to normal operation. We⁤ do this 2 times during a day then we wait to see what happens. So⁣ what not is working right now, can work only 5 hours later or the next⁢ day.

We can't come it closer, while we believe this is a random attack, it︀ could still be people reading the forum that want to hurt us.

Thank you all︁ for your great support and amazing work you all put in here to help each︂ other.
 
Just a current feedback – publicly, as it might help to someone: I was not‌ able to post anything since Monday afternoon UTC until now (ending with the message “Oops!‍ We ran into some problems. Please try again later. More error details may be in⁠ the browser console.”), now I can post but cannot edit what is already posted, ending⁤ with the same message. The browser console apparently means the developer tool of chromium based⁣ browser, it said “403 Forbidden”; now it says the same + another interesting info not⁢ to be shared here 🙂. @JohnLocke: I'll try to e-mail you when I find︀ some time.
@jafo: Sorry, I was not able to reach you. I'll try it;︁ if you can post in the conversation, feel free to share an e-mail, if you︂ like.
 
On IE, FIREFOX and CHROME everything works on my end, several users are reporting the‌ same, all good.

But their may still be issues for one or the other using‍ something different to read the forum.
 
Got your e-mail... please try again in about 30 minutes.. also check your e-mail please.‌
 
Correct! What I have done is‌ tell my buyers and suppliers to use WARP Cloudflare client. I did extensive tracing and‍ troubleshooting to come up with this solution.
For whatever reason, once this client is installed⁠ and activated, most problems accessing the Cloudflare-protected websites "improve".

You can download the WARP Cloudflare⁤ client from here: 1.1.1.1 , The free app that makes your Internet faster.

OK. Will PM
 
At the time of your post it did not work for me,‍ couple of minutes after it started to work (but no extensive testing due to the⁠ lack of time), now working for more than 2 hours.
@JohnLocke: Well, I do not see the background︀ but I do not think it is/was a browser issue. The messages from the console︁ did not indicate this. Not even a rendering engine issue (and you report that it︂ works with all major engines). (OK, if you talk really about an old IE, then︃ Trident is not major nowadays 😉 )

I must admit that I've never met WARP Cloudflare before (I did not need anything︉ like this). I've skipped quickly through their webpage and I am rather confused – a︊ lot of corporate bulls**t (“1.1.1.1 with WARP replaces the connection between your device and the︋ Internet with a modern, optimized, protocol.”) but no protocol description, technical information, licence information etc.︌ It seems to be closed-source. Would you mind pointing to some trustworthy (technical!) review, audit,︍ etc.? (It's not a fun to route all your traffic via something...)
Check a reply... (others, sorry for OT).
