spudly 10 Posted February 16, 2014 Is anyone else having a great deal of trouble accessing Armaholic at the moment? I'm in the UK and for the last couple of days it's been getting slower and slower, till this evening when it finally stopped responding to me at all. Now, I've used ipconfig /flushdns on my machine, I've tried three different browsers, I've cleared the cache from all those browsers, I've rebooted my machine and the router and I've changed the DNS from the normal DNS servers to OpenDNS and back again with no luck. Everything else seems to work for me and when I ping www.armaholic.com I get a response back with a TTL of 54. Seemingly, everything should be working, but I'm getting absolutely no joy. Any ideas?

ProfTournesol 956 Posted February 16, 2014 That's not the right place to discuss this, but AFAIK they are under heavy DOS attacks recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 17, 2014 The website should be back in the morning if all goes well. The site is already running again and I have been posting all the news I could not post earlier (including the sunday wip report). Just the public can not access it yet. I truly hope I fixed it and this wont happen again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b00tsy 28 Posted February 17, 2014 That's not the right place to discuss this, but AFAIK they are under heavy DOS attacks recently. whats the point of that? armaholic has enemies? Let them ddos money grabbing corporations instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkhorse 1-6 16 Posted February 17, 2014 Scuttlebutt says it's the "Life" server guys. Got pissed at Fox because he doesn't host their stolen content nor post their news or allow them in the forums. Glad you got it back uo, Fox. Get some rest man. Your health and sanity trump our news/addon fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spudly 10 Posted February 17, 2014 I really hope that scuttlebutt isn't true, very disappointed if it is. I know nothing about stolen content and this isn't really the thread to talk about it in, but I genuinely hope people aren't taking stuff without giving credit where it's due. In a community which revolves around freely donated contributions, not giving credit is about as low as you can get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 17, 2014 I do not know any Scuttlebutt. And please, lets not go and point fingers. I do not want to blame it on anyone in the Arma community. And, if someone is doing it I hope he/she/they come to their senses and stop it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pragmatic 10 Posted February 17, 2014 there are still issues, the site was up for a while, now its gone again (at least for me) :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spudly 10 Posted February 17, 2014 Is for me too. If this is malicious, I really hope there is a way to prosecute whoever is doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 17, 2014 Anyone who is having issues PM me your IP so I can check it. Security could ban you, it should not but its very well possible. Things are still going on but we are still up and kicking as the server is properly handling those requests. If you cant connect the issue could be with just your own connection so if you sent me your IP I can check the logs. "Online in past 15 minutes: 31 members, 1154 guests" ---> should say enough.

Zlin 10 Posted February 17, 2014 Armaholic has been very slow for several days for me. Yesterday I couldn't access it at all. Today I was able to access it one minute but now cannot connect again. A day or so ago I attempted to browse the arma 3 addons section and received a Trojan virus alert from my antivirus software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 17, 2014 There are scanners online which allow you to scan websites or specific areas of websites. I am doing that every now and than, google informs me and I just did it in different areas and nothing has been detected. You are very welcome to PM me any links/scan reports you have which could indicate an issue. [add on:] Regarding your message about not being able to view the website: "Online in the past 15 minutes: 40 members, 1340 guests" As I wrote up in this thread, if you are blocked you are welcome to PM me.

nettrucker 142 Posted February 17, 2014 I can't connect either. I tried a couple of times to connect I didn't passed the opening page. Everything was extremely slow. It was impossible to browse the site. For the time being I'm unable to connect at all. That sucks big time. Just wanted to let you know what you most probably already know. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
