I can't connect to the site when on comcast. Dunno if there might be a DNS problem or blocking going on. I drop off and onto cellular internet and I can connect just fine. Anyone else have this problem?

There are a few people that have had this problem. For a couple it went away I believe.

Comcast is known for blocking websites. I believe they see the offshore server here and won't let you access anything through the country our server is in.

If you do a google search you can see where this is happening to thousands and thousands of websites from comcast now

I will see if there is anything on my end I am able to do. Until then I would suggest getting a VPN or use TOR to reroute the site through and that should help.

I use Comcast myself. No problems as of now but, the other day I could not get BOP to load from my favorites. Try and clear out your browser history and cookies. That did not for me. Good luck bro.

^^^Try this it has worked for some.

Also you can Flush your DNS Cache. Here are a few videos that show how to do this

Thanks I will look into TOR. Tried flushing DNS but didn't help. I did a trace route and saw it timing out on one of the European hops. Also tried a few proxy sites too. Who knows, I've tried hard to tune out of tech skill sets lol. I hate Comcast!
