Tried this on Win10, but no go!!

Hope we´ll be able to access sistersite under the usual terms soon.

 

Looks like u boys might actually have to mix a track instead of scrolling Audioz

(me too)

 

Work for me now. i have edit the host file with host file editor+. thank for this solution

 

U'r welcome, but say thanks to Bulgroz , he posted the "172.67.174.87 audioz.download" line (without quotes) last May 31.

 

"172.67.174.87 audioz.download" Working nicely on Mac Ventura. Many thanks

 

Works for me on Win 10. Doesn't even need reboot. Don't know why it doesn't work for you. Did you save the file as hosts.txt by accident?

 

Tip for iphone or ios? Ipad and so on?

 

I think a lot of people are doing that because they are forgetting the admin rights

 

But is this a temporary fix? How to access from smartphone on android?

 

for sure some known ppl smell a chance to establish a new r2d2 top site now eh eh....

 

I have tried it, but no good result.

1) If you have some VPN service active, disable it.

2) If you have your browser configured with non default DNS (default means no 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4., & many others), u've gotta navigate with your common ISP's DNS, I mean, automatic DNS.

3) Check that your hosts file has the 172.67.174.87 audioz.download line there. Note; I've wrote a .bat called ADMiN DNS.bat which text is;

start notepad "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\HOSTS" , this way you can go fast to your hosts file & write or delete what you need through a couple of clicks (right click & choose to Run as Administrator). Otherwise, open CMD as Admin, write exactly;

start notepad "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\HOSTS"

...& hit Enter to add the magic line. Close, save.

4) Open CMD as Admin, copy/paste the next commands & hit enter one by one;

NETSH WINSOCK RESET

ipconfig /flushdns

5) Turn off & on your network card.

6) Tell us if worked (optional ).

U've gotta delete the # symbol at the beggining of the magic line, 'cause the # neutralizes the blockade.

 

i have proper hosts and used number server cloudshizzle or how its called , in browser and network settings before and its not working for me ...i dont begin fck around with ,i fear other blocked sites dont work after .

and again this will be just temporary fix if they dont work it out, things will change .
this is for sure longest downtime in years and years .

 

Thank you!
This worked for me on my Mac running Monterey 12.7.6

 

Will this be the permanent way to get into the sister site, or is it just temporary?

 

Main site will be back soon. Meanwhile, to have the magic line in the hosts will no harm. When things go fine simply add the # at the beggining, and when Smith goes bad you go and delete the #.

 

Thank you OrchFan.

 

Its a way to access the site through a private network, so as long as the site is up and running, yes it should be permanent

Of course that is your prerogative. It's a personal choice you have to make. Adding a 172 number to the hosts file however, is not a blocking number. It is purely access to a private server.


UPDATE:--


Since all this happened, I decided to learn a bit more about IP Addresses.

I was under the impression 172 IP range was all private.. Some are and some are not.. The one we are using in our hosts file, ia not private, but public.. It wont make any difference but I just wanted to set the record straight!

Didn't want to scroll through all the other comments, so sorry if already mentioned. But for anyone having an issue with the "hosts" file, make sure you right click it, choose "properties", and then make sure "read-only" is not checked. That was what worked for me when I've had issues saving the file
