Mega Problems Getting to Login Screen

Heavy Metal Trader · Oct 1st 2016, 6:24am

I've raised a ticket, but I've realised I won't be able to see the response, as my yahoo isn't working either.

But sites like this are.

Can anyone be super-awesome for me, and research / check to see if there have been any changes to the "Great Firewall of China" in the last few hours, blocking yahoo, msn, and .... ogame "game"? Haha.

Although a lot is blocked in China, these were sites that were not blocked before. The board, for instance, I can still get on, as can be seen....

This is super-annoying. Also, please be kind and don't attack me whilst I'm having this problem pls.

Many thanks guys.

EDIT: Examples of working / non working sites:

support.origin.ogame.gameforge.com/index.php - WORKING
ogmem.com - NOT WORKING
yahoo.com - NOT WORKING
msn.com - NOT WORKING
board.ogame.org - WORKING
baidu.com (Chinese google) - WORKING

do you try to change dsn, and put for example google dns ?

ErikFyr · Oct 1st 2016, 5:12pm

Google DNS could work, use these adresses:

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Or try OpenDNS:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Thank you for the responses.

I might be a bit thick and doing this wrong, but I tried inputting each of these in to my address bar, and nothing special came up - just page could not be found / site can't be reached.

Are you able to elaborate on how I might use this? I was in town for literally two seconds today, and had some joy in getting on in a different part of the city, however I had to leave and couldn't do all I wanted so I'm desperate to find out a way to get this working properly from where I actually live....

"Argg"
is the word....

This guide should explain how to do it

Thanks! Will try it.

EDIT: This site is not working either. Fuuuu...... >:(

It's like almost every site that's not Chinese, *except* the ogame boards, is not working xD This is such a weird problem. Is it something to do with the proxy settings in google chrome that I need to go to?

@Heavy Metal Trader

Heavy Metal Trader · Oct 2nd 2016, 1:49pm

Thanks - will try.

Heavy Metal Trader · Oct 2nd 2016, 1:53pm

Ah, still not working....

Did I have to validate on exit? I'll try that.

EDIT 1: Gah, no. I'll maybe call the internet people and throw ~a carrot....~

EDIT 2: Btw, thanks for all your attempts and time taken to help though Venice.

ErikFyr · Oct 2nd 2016, 1:59pm

It can be that you also need to use the flushdns command

Open the Windows Start menu.
Type cmd.
Right click on the Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.
Type in ipconfig /flushdns.

That might fix it

Heavy Metal Trader · Oct 2nd 2016, 2:06pm

Thanks!

Tried it.... no xD

Still can't access these sites.

I'm sure problem is this end, you know. I'm so grateful for all your advice though.

Feel free to attack me now though

Happy hunting!!!
