Accessing the Forum

[Saddlerrad]

I get on for about 20 minutes, then it blocks me out as the firewall blocks me.

I clear my cache/turn my route on/off and it's back.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

That's far more effort than just turning on my VPN.

 

[Christian Slater]

Having the same issue as the other member where I can't get on with WiFi but can on 4g. Don't know if this info helps or not.

 

[TractorBoys]

Everybody who has PM'd me asking for their IP to be added to the IGNORE list (to avoid blocks due to temp issue) has been added. Sorry for not replying to PM's there were simply too many- but rest assured if you've requested to be added, you have been.

Remember though, if your IP changes (dynamic) then there's isn't much we can do as we can only add your current IP.

 

[Stevencc]

Any idea how long it will be until things return to normal?

I seem to be able to access the site with the unblocker now. Will let you know if it blocks me again.

That's exactly the reason why I haven't send a PM to you because I get a new IP from my ISP each time I access the internet.
But I can help myself now with Windscribe for Firefox (yesterday even this one failed so I used another 1FF Addon which gives me an UK IP (no not the party ). One of these two works so far (but I can't have them both enabled because they "can't stand each other" )

I really appreciated the efforts you made!

No clue on times unfortunately. The pop up issue is completely out of our hands and will require work from experts from outside of 1FF.

The pop up issue is causing the firewall to block out returning IP's. So the one that has no time limit is affecting the lock out, apart from TB's mini fix.

Firefox or Chrome isn't letting me on

Still not working at home for me despite TB putting my IP on the ignore list. Is there something I should have done after that, but haven't?

Clear your cache, try a computer/router restart.

This is the 5th day i've had difficulty to access the site. I managed a couple of posts then i lost it again,i expect that will happen again in a minute.

 

[MJA]

Site seems to be working on everything for me at the moment so if Admin could put all of their efforts into ensuring that this remains the case it would be appreciated

 

[blade1889]

Working fine for me but a good VPN for chrome users to try would be Hola

 

[sl1k]

Had been working fine last couple days other than the pop-ups, but seems to have blocked my ip again. Using vpn master for chrome to get on.

 

[mowgli]

I got 5 minutes this afternoon before being blocked again,that's the longest in the last 5 days.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Again - please let us know what your public IP address is (google "what is my ip") and we can prevent you being blocked in the short term. With the caveat that if your IP changes the prevention will not last forever.

As for a wider fix, that's a work in progress as we speak with peoples outside of 1FF, although cannot give a timescale as to it's completion yet as it's out of our hands at this point.

 

[Luke Imp]

We going to lose anything when they do that?

 

[AFCB_Mark]

With our current plan we hope not. But if that doesn't work then the going back in time is a last resort.

What's this update that's just taken place?

I've had no issue with pop-ups or re-directs since.

I'll give a breakdown thread afterwards, or one of us will anyway. But we are hoping the update is a 'fix'.

Currently got an outside third party on the server hoping to solve the popup/firewall issue.

 

[TractorBoys]

I've carried out a small update on the forum software myself patching a few files.
We now have a trusted third party company performing a full security audit. Tentatively we should have the all clear within 6-12 hours.

Edit: Damn Saddlerrad speed typing.

 

[Bobbin']

Forum seems to be working perfectly for me now anyway after that update

 

[Aberstone]

Likewise. Excellent.

We believe the threats have now been removed. Server side scanning has been enabled daily to detect any further breaches and we're making use of a third party firewall which should be much stronger.

Please use this thread to report any remainining issues post 8.06PM on 11th August.

I can still only access the site via a vpn.

And I seem to have gone back to an old avatar.

Certain elements of the forum were rolled back to 6th August.
I just flushed the firewall so hopefully you're back on across all devices now.

I'm still getting this I'm afraid...

Is probably just your browser cache in that case, clear that out
