Hi again,

Still off-air here in San Antonio and it's not just my computer. Nobody I've asked locally can get on the site via regular Internet access. I still have to use TOR to bypass the blocking servers.

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Crowie,

Thanks for the info. Weird, I can get on using the TOR browser with the Secure Sessions feature turned on but not with it turned off. I wonder if the problem is with ATT?

Cheers,
Rob

Just spoke to my son in Houston, he had a look and it's running like greased lightening there. He's on AT&T so maybe it's a local thing in San Antonio. Got me beat. Steven's banging his head against a brick wall but looking into it.

Woohoo! I am on now via the normal Internet, not using TOR to sneak in through the back doors of Sweden or Turkey. Thanks for all of your efforts guys!

[rob streeper]

I think the squirrels are conducting a series of rolling strikes. Yesterday (Tuesday) I couldn't connect to the forum from about 5 o'clock in the evening, and despite many attempts during the night I had no luck. I tried again at 5:00 this morning and still no luck, I was able to connect after 8:00 this morning. Again this arvo at about 4:00 o'clock I was unable to connect, tried again at 6:00 and all good.

That was short lived for Grumpy, apparently. He just emailed me and asked me to post the following (hasn't been able to get on since yesterday arvo):

Grumpy John has been on the phone to me & we've had a couple of e-mails.

he still can't get in.

works fine for me.

[rob streeper]

I was able to get on briefly this morning and in the afternoon on my mobile but at this time both the mobile and regular Internet are not working. I'm posting now using TOR - slow and cumbersome but at least I can post text.
