Images Not Loading

hello,
for about 2 weeks now, none of the images seem to load from your CDN or files path.
https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/28/527228.jpg?h=85dbed3f

i get a connection refused error.

anyone else getting this?
I have tested from multiple computers, and locations. disabled any firewalls or blockers i have installed.

    No works fine for me.

  • What browser? Any addons? Running a system wide adblocker?

  • Have you tried turning it off and on again?

  • files.ozbargain.com.au has been on CloudFlare since last week due to DDoS. They may ban IP addresses, however I don't think you'll get a connection refused error. What does it say when you run

    c:\> nslookup files.ozbargain.com.au
    

    from command prompt?

    • Non-authoritative answer:
      Name: files.ozbargain.com.au
      Address: 112.213.34.28

      • i think my IP is blocked, as i just went through my mobile phone providers internet and it works. And i used a backup sim in my modem i had on hand and it worked too. It only when i go through my NBN connection it gets blocked.

      • I think somehow your DNS has not been updated. That's the IP address for our image hosting last Friday (8 days ago) and I've since turned off that server and used CloudFlare for our images. Possibly your ISP's problem? Try setting the DNS to use Google (8.8.8.8.8) or CloudFlare's (1.1.1.1) public DNS to see whether that helps.

  • Try checking for possible malware OP.

    Install another browser to check for configuration issues.

  • I've had this on and off also, working fine right now.

    Issue resolved it self each time.

    Seemed to network related (server/routing/etc). Seemed to coincide with other ozbargin page loading issues which were mostly very brief (1 or 2 mins).
