can't log-in or access forum from home connection
« on: May 04, 2017, 02:14:19 PM »
Hey all...starting yesterday, I can't log-in with the client or bring up this forum from my home connection (Charter ISP in the SE US).  works fine when i access via my vpn...any idea why that would be?  could my ISP be blocking Altbinz?

thanks!

I would need your home IP (via private message) to check things on this end.

I've got a similar problem today as well, I can view the forum, but alt.binz cannot authenticate. I'll send a PM with my IP address.

Any suggestions are more than welcome. I've tried the usual (disabling firewall), no joy.

I've managed to get mine working again.

I think my AV/firewall updated yesterday, and the question to allow access did pop up, but I didn't notice it. I shut down alt.binz, and on restarting, alt.binz was still in memory (which I didn't realise), so the 2nd instance would not authenticate. Once I stopped all instances of alt.binz, things started working again.
