Dreamhost routing issues since 2017/02/17

Post by Commando »

Has the site's up address changed?

The site fails to load from my LAN but it loads from my phone.

It appears the same so it isn't a dns issue.

It appears I can't reach apache2 on my connection.

It responds over the vpn.

Over my cox connection, I haven't been able to reach the site since yesterday.

If I use cellular or my work vpn, I can reach the forums.

Both resolve to the correct up.

On my cox connection, it times out when it tries to ping the apache2 server, which is the host of both the forums and the matchmaking sites.

I posted my trace routes on the management board.

As of now, neither the forums and matchmaking work for me.

I doubt I can reach the ftp host to download beta patches either.

I can't tell if the issue is on my end or dreamhost's end.

It behaves as if my ip has been blocked.

It's not a dns issue.

It resolves to the correct IP address.

I posted a support ticket w/ Dreamhost yesterday (Sunday 2/19). Seems better now, but only from certain connections. Not sure why this happened.

Pulled up my router's interface, remotely.

Tried pinging bzforum.matesfamily.org.

Still 100% packet loss.

Hopefully it is getting looked into.

Hm. Not quite resolved yet. My work computer connects fine. Home doesn't. I can connect from work computer -> home, but not the reverse.

Many sites disable pings for reduced load, etc. I use a text webbrowser ( lynx http://bzforum.matesfamily.org ) to verify things. That's a lot more heavyweight of a connection than a ping, but is what is essentially what all web-browsers will do and use.

Pings work from my work network, so that isn't the case.

I have a tracert on the Access thread, right below this one.

My Trace Routes (TRACERT) from yesterday.

From work, when I ping 173.236.227.112, I get replies. When I ping the same IP from home, it times out.

I also get replies from my cell phone, over LTE. Over WiFi, I time out like my pc.

I can browse the forums over my phone or over my work vpn.

From my home network, I can't load the page.

That's what it looks like.

The question is whether it is on Cox's end or Dream Host's end though.

Oddly enough, it worked until Saturday.
