Can't access wiki

[mickdermack]

Hello

Since some days ago, I can't access the Wiki any more. I have to use a proxy or otherwise Firefox only gives me a timeout error.

Has anyone an idea why that happens? Did someone block an IP Range recently?

Some of the site's services still aren't back up yet. They are slowly working on bringing them back. From what I've gathered, the community, wiki, and file archive are down, as well as the irc.multitheftauto.com subdomain for IRC.

wiki is up and running since forums got back alive..

[mickdermack]

afaik the wiki was up all the time, you just had to type wiki.multitheftauto.com instead of wiki.multitheftauto.com

the proxied page isn't a cached copy cause there was a change yesterday, when i already haven't been able to access the wiki, so it's a problem with my IP i think

[dzek (varez)]

wiki.multitheftauto.com and wiki.multitheftauto.com are working for me (first one redirects to 2nd one)

[mickdermack]

yeah, but they both don't work for me now

[dzek (varez)]

can you open this:

http://76.191.104.190/

[mickdermack]

No. Additionally that IP has a red reputation on WOT.

[dzek (varez)]

hmm, if you can't connect to this - it looks like really something is blocking that ip. this is ip of wiki. red reputation? hm, there is something about - WHY?

[mickdermack]

network-tools.com also returns strange results

http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=express&host=76.191.104.190

after googling for few minutes i can see that on that ip there was another site someday, chinesse one (there was some statistics somewhere saying that about 70% of all chinese sities are infected with viruses!), also on that ip there was few malwares, trojans hosted. this ip have just a bad history.

[mickdermack]

maybe, but what has mail190.effectiveservicemethod.net to do with that IP?

[dzek (varez)]

just a server name.

effectiveservicemethod.net was a hosting company afaik.

they've used that ip someday ago.

this domain is no longer active.
