If you are able to read this, that is a good thing. We are undergoing some serious technical issues and are trying to resolve them.

I read you loud and clear. Is there anything needed from the members?

Nope, small prayer. This one is big.

Hello everyone!

I apologize for drifting out of contact! I love and miss you all very much. I was startled to find I could not access eunuch.org today! I can see Talula is already aware of this issue but in the meantime wanted to say that anyone having trouble accessing should still be able to reach eunuch.org using the Tor routing network (how I'm able to talk to you now!). You can download a copy of Tor here (https://www.torproject.org/), it comes with a copy of Firefox which should allow you access. If not, hit 'use new identity' (it will change the node it is using) and simply try again. Try doing this a couple of times.

I've been conducting some tests from here and estimate the site is not visible for most of the UK, and also much of Europe (possibly parts of U.S.). From here, it appears to be some kind of DNS issue, although I realise I don't have a complete set of facts.

If for any reason Tor doesn't work in the meantime, members might also try reconfiguring computers to use Google's own DNS (http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/) resolution, rather than your own ISPs. Here is how to set it up on Windows 7 and XP (http://techie-buzz.com/how-to/google-pu ... winxp.html), Apple OSX (http://www.mymacosx.com/snow-leopard/go ... tting.html) and Ubuntu. (http://ubuntu.igameilive.com/2009/12/ho ... endns.html)

At a guess, I think the Tor method will solve 90% of users problems.

I have to be honest, my initial reaction was to suspect censorship. If turns out to be the case, I will have no choice but to get extremely angry and set a bunch of wild, flying monkeys and Lulz lizards loose to wreak havoc upon those responsible! Hehe Who's responsible this?! Lol

If I can be of any help at any stage, just let me know.

I couldn't get to the Boards this morning, now I can

Thank you, talula.

I hope everything worked out OK. I am having no issues getting online now.

I can get in but the majority won't be able to get in till after next Tuesday.

It is very odd. I am able to get on the EA with a wireless internet stick I own for internet while I'm travelling, but my home network cannot connect. Both internet solutions are through the same company.

Even stranger, I can't use the internet stick to get on the EA from anywhere near where I work, but I can from home. Different server tower maybe?

I'm just happy to have any access at all. The EA has become something of my home on the internet over the last few months.

I hope the problems can be overcome soon. Thanks for keeping us informed.

Update;

Using thefraj's suggestion for downloading Tor, seems to have done the trick. I now have full access from my home computer.

VERY weird issue though.

My thanks to Sister Krister for supplying me the direct IP address of eunuch.org, 184.80.18.34 after my e-mail inquiry.

Talula, Kristoff, and anyone else . . . THANK YOU.

Have faith and this technical glitch will be resolved.
