hello ppl.
i am unable to access a certain website.
alpha.astroempires.com/
astroempires.com/
forum.astroempires.com/
these guys had a massive ddos attack last week, so they installed something to block it off.
the site is up now, and everyone can use it, except me. i can still access it using proxies, like ninjacloak.(but it is severely crippled)
i talked with them, and they confirmed that they were not blocking my ip from their end, and advised me to do this :
If you're experiencing difficulties accessing our game servers, it could be because your ISP is blocking our IPs or you are being blocked by our DDoS proxy. It could also that your IPS hasn't updated their DNS, but this is more remote since enough days have passed for them to update properly.
Here's a few suggestions on how to try and overcome this:
- Reset your internet connection (modem/router) to try and force it to update the DNS information.
- Update your browser to the latest version or try using a different browser.
- Check your computer for spyware/malware and clean it. You can use free tools such as SpyBot, AdAware or Microsoft Security Essentials.
1. how to reset net connection?
i did ipconfig/flushdns
2.used all the latest browsers
3. im almost sure i have no malware/spyware
