Why I can't access BHW from my home IP?

[bk071]

Okay so we're all aware that BHW has been slow/down or a couple of days lately. Now that its back online, I still can not access the site from my home IP (I am from Pakistan)

I'm currently using my German VPS to access BHW.

I've tried accessing it after clearing DNS and cache using Command Prompt but no luck.

Anyone else having the same problem?

Yeah, i'm having the same problem. Tried flushdns, but that didn't work.

SAME PROBLEM HERE...

i can't access bhw from different ips and different isp. i ask few friends to prove it, and yes they can't access bhw too...

in short, i have same issue with bk071. now i am using proxy to post this.

Can Mods/Admins fix this, please

i am sure there is something wrong with BHW since the last downtime...

Same here. Not on on BHW but also on Analytics and adwords keyword tool it seems like there is a problem on DNS worldwide.

Thanks!
I tried this command in Command Prompt:

ping www.blackhatworld.com

and it returned this result:

ping request cannot find host Please check the name and try again.

Hey BigBuddy, is there any way we can get notification through email, or a notification on some outside site like Google Groups when the problem resolves? It's too hard **gasp, air -- air** for the BHW addicts when the great site is down, you see.

Bleemz suggested this " Have them run a traceroute to blackhatworld.com so we can pinpoint where the route stalls"

@srb - we don't have one. ya, we miss bhw much, when site is down.

I ran a traceroute and here is what I came up with:

 

[bk071]

MODs I can PM you my IP range if needed. Lets get it sorted out

bk, this happened to me a few weeks back i posted a thread about it, i couldn't get on with my ip for over a week either, I eventually got fed up of using vpn so ended up just turning off the modem for a few hours and it resolved itself

 

[bk071]

Its fixed now, finally

Its fixed now, finally

i still faced with same issue, can't access it from my country : Indonesia.

the traceroute results same as bk071.

I'm from Indonesia, I already ask my friends from Indonesia too, we are all cannot access blackhatworld.com First I thought bhw is down for few days but when I seach google blogsearch there are some update threat here, then I realize something wrong. When I try using USA IP address I can access bhw. It looks like bhw blocks a lot of IP address.

Perform a traceroute operation in DOS and post the screenshot of whatever it comes up with (Thats what I did and they fixed it fast)

If you don't know how to perform a traceroute, use google.
