Can´t connect at all to the VEF website

**the flu** · August 9th, 2016, 04:43 PM

Hi I´m writing this via a proxy connection,since I discovered this morning,that everytime I try to access VEF,I get an error message saying, Server can´t be found. I´ve tried FF,GC IE,and they all show the same message. Since all other websites function as they always do,I have no idea what´s going on.Yesterday,all was fine,as it always is,but when I tried to go into VEF this morning,the error message came up.I thought that it was maybe a servermaintenance,so I waited a few hours,but it´s still impossible to connect to the server. Anyone have a clue to what´wrong,or how I can fix the problem? Any help would be so much appreciated,since I try to be a part of VEF almost every day. Cheers Tf

It was the same for me till about an hour and a half ago, something to do with the DNS servers, whatever they are, just keep trying should be OK shortly

We experienced issues with DNS resolution starting last night. The problem has been fixed, but it takes time for DNS changes to fully propagate.

Thanks for the post and update. I had problems too.

Both "Website Not Working" and "Is It Down Right Now," showed no problems with VEF and Planet Suzy, despite me receiving "Server not found."

No problems here.

Hi
Thanks for all support,and to the admin.team for their awesome help.

I had a bit of a scare there yesterday,but now all is fine,and I feel cool

.

It´s so easy to take everything for granted,but there´s probably so much

effort put in behind the scenes,that we´re not aware of.

Thanks a million to everyone that makes this such a great place.

Have a great day,all of you.

Cheers
Tf
