    Good to know all is up and fine. Earlier on, from here in Brussels, there was no pictures shown. Now seems normal.

    It's still a mystery to me, how some people had access through VPN if the server was down?

    No, not related.
    Because their VPN services were slow at updating DNS. The people who could still access the website but no images, etc - was due to their OS holding the IP address belonging to the URL in what's called DNS cache. The moment the cache is considered old by your system, it's deleted and it asks your DNS server to give you an update - and for a few hours DNS servers worldwide reported there is no IP address associated with the domain name of sister site. This was due to maintenance, not copyright claims or anything. The moment the DNS servers picked up the change made by site admins, everything got back working and propagated to all other DNS servers, including VPN's and your ISP's.

    Sister site's domain is quoted multiple times in a current lawsuit involing Cloudflare (about popular song remix stems, not plugins or samples packs). Sister site is down some times because:
    Seems like related to me. No offense, if it's so, it's amazing that sister site is back online for everybody so fast ! Less than 24h... Respect!

    When I checked yesterday the site had been blocked because of a copyright infringement. I thought it was the end of our beloved sister, but to my surprise, it was back a few hours later. I'm based in the Netherlands

    Probably Saint lent the server a view hours to some US states to speed up the counts. He is such a kind-hearted person. :rofl::winker:

    i wish i did as well, this process usually takes less than an hour. it wouldn't hurt you to use CloudFlare's DNS anyways :yes:

    that's what i was using. i changed to opendns when i was trying to figure out why the site wouldn't load. cloudflare said the site was down, but one of those "is it down?" sites told me it was up. i'm going to change it back to cloudflare today. their dns is better because of some of the extra security features.

    As a geek I can't believe it took me so long to use cloudfare's DNS server :deep_facepalm:
    And the excuse "I don't remember the IP" doesn't work... :rofl:
