pprune.org = 404 not found
 

Had some trouble getting in with the 404 message constantly appearing.

Finally managed through ip 67.201.16.181

Is this my ISP or some other dark force?

Possible DOS?

It could be a continuation of the previous attack, but more likely the after-effect of IB implementing a new firewall, which was done last weekend in response to the original problem.

Some tuning / adjusting to work with load balancers and multiple web-servers may be going on.

But I'm actually just as much in the dark as everyone else, as there hasn't been an announcement from IB yet.

Data-Lynx, its an issue with the site affecting users world-wide. It is being worked on but cannot tell you when the problem will be resolved.

Frustrating I know; the site has been up & down like a yo-yo.

I have heard that it's "just" problems with rules on the new firewall.

404 just means "file not found" - you got through to the web server OK, but the web server says "huh?". One possibility is that they're migrating to a new server, with changes to DNS taking time to filter down. Another is that there's a problem with "back-end" storage, with a volume holding the files going offline to the server.

They're not storing beer! Or is it S'African?

OK, OK - next time you make a typo, I'll jump all over it too. Call it a Freudian desire for a German beer if you like. :hmm:

I don't know if this is a coincidence, but one of the games on my iPod Touch is by a company named Playmesh. It's an online game, but it won't work this evening, and when I go to their website I get a 504, Gateway Timed Out. First time I've seen any problems with them.

Interestingly I could get in as a guest using an American proxy but as soon as I tried to log on it went err 404.

I think I know what happened to the server:
