[ilan]

i have difficulties to open b4x.com latley. or it is very very slow or does not open at all. i am trying from desktop and mobile. same behavior.

There is an ongoing DDos attack on the site. It will take several more hours until another protection layer will be ready. I expect more downtime until it ready. Sorry about that.

 

[Erel]

I'll soon close the forum for some maintenance work...

If you are seeing this message then your DNS cache was updated with the new ip where the site runs behind CloudFare.

I ca see this page on Edge, but not on FireFox. I dir Ctrl+F5 in FF but same "Page not found"
How to update DNS cache in FF ?

 

[Erel]

It will probably start working new a few hours.

Cloudflare has eaten my picture lol.
Correction it's back now - maybe I'm too eager lol

so now you have extra expense by using cloudflare because of that as***** ?

 

[Daestrum]

Yes it was missing, but back now.
Also have to click log in twice to get user/password box to pop up, probably just needs a few hours to settle down.

Looks all's Ok now.
Forum opening smooth. Thanks Erel for your extra effort

After flushing the DNS, www.b4x.com now loads fine for me, but if I type in only b4x.com the page doesn't load.
Is this just me?

Works in Edge for me, doesn't work in Firefox or Chrome.

As far as I know and experienced, cloudflare requires to use www.

but that means it's going to take me about 50% longer to access the site

Why does it has different between having www and not? I am experiencing faster page loading after the server updating to use Cloudflare. And I thought all the while it is having www too. When I type b4x.com my browser automatically prepend https://www for me. Basically the forum link appears as my recent or frequently access site.

It was intended as a joke just because of needing to type 4 more characters (www.).

That doesn't happen for me in Edge or Opera. I only thought it worth mentioning in post #14 because I'm sure that using b4x.com without the www. worked for me previously.
