For the past few days, i have been going through some sort of an issue accessing the forum,

It's not blocked or anything, but trying to open the site, gives me a solid of 10-15 seconds of loading or lag time to actually open (same waiting time as if you're trying to access a blocked site then it gives you a sort of not found issue).

Tried every other website including Sister site, when i click the icon (on my navigator), it's almost instant for the webpage to load and open, (probably less than a second) same applies for basically any website I'm trying to access.

Once one tab successfully open, opening other tabs actually becomes instant, but only for a while, then the issue comes back.

Same behavior for other navigators including Edge, even tried a second computer, with multiple navigator such as Safari and again chrome.

Identical behavior, for two different separate DSL connections, also same thing after rebooting multiple times...

 

how about Opera on the Mac?

 

Works fine here. It's network related, probably a DNS cache issue, it will go away eventually.

 

I did flush dns, restart my navigator, restarted my router, same issue, but now same with sister site, only with sister site and the forum, not sure what's the issue...

 

not your local DNS cache, the actual Domain Name Server that is routing traffic for your area might be passing the buck to another and so on and those extra hops are causing your latency. Try a VPN that bypasses your local infrastructure and see if you get lower response times.

Or else they could be watching you, better stock up on bottled water, tin foil, gaffer tape and bog roll.

 

Thé sites load fast from here. How many days exactly are you experiencing this lag?

 

Use the DNS servers from Google in stead of your own ISP. These are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

 

As if latency in ours DAWs wasn't fucking many of us enough... now web latency...

I'm not positive and I guess it depends on location/ISP/etc... But I think it's worth trying the Cloudfare/google combo
The famous Cloudfare's DNS server:
1.1.1.1

It's pretty much like saying to Google: "mine's bigger"

 

Yep, I've been using this recently. It opens all the blocked websites in my country.

try various DNS providers, like Cloudflare, Opendns etc...
flush browser cache, flush dns cache, monitor actual network interaction (NetLimiter on Windows, LittleSnitch on MacOS),
if you have WiFi, make sure no unwanted guests are eating your bandwidth

 

audiosex was down for me like 4:30 hours ago. Http error 522. The usual cloudflare giving up by saying hey we are up and running but the host is having issues

 

Quad9 - 9.9.9.9 is also very fast and reliable DNS server as Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1. You can use ping command to check the speed. Google is fast but Google is Google... I used Cloudflare's DNS for a long time, but I like Quad9 better.

Anyway, I never had any problems opening both websites as far as I remember.

 

Weirdly enough wiht Opera on Mac Sister site opens instantly (Google opens after more than 10 secs) Forum same issue.

That's what i thought, days ago, that's why i'm posting now, thought will be fixed soon eough.

A VPN fixes the issue in all navigators.

my fbi agent is sure having the time of his life then!

3, 4 days at least.

i already use a combination of 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8

i already use 1.1.1.1.

after trying a vpn it looks like it's a local issue that i hope it will be fixed soon.

 

While we are at it exchanging tips about DNS, there's a free small app that is just awesome: Sordum's DNS Jumper

I also hope for you.
