Dosed anyone know what happening here?

Hi all,

Tried to log onto a website last week, and this message came up. Am using iPad.

Error 522
Connection timed out

This has been going on for a week. Using Chrome, so tried Digi browser, and Safari. Nothing.

Safari gives me a screen shot of a page, and judging by the messages it is working for others (time and date of recent posts visible). Message on screenshot says website is offline.

I just can't figure it out. Maybe someone would log onto politics.ie for me and see if it works, or maybe have a solution!

Many thanks.

Are you using a third party DNS provider on the iPad (possibly for streaming related use)? Does the site work on any other machines in your house (phone/laptops etc.). Who is your internet provider?

Hi Nick,

Am not using third party DNS, as far as I know! Would I have had to do something specific to do that? All I have is Netflix, and I don't stream anything, just use iTunes store etc. (apologies, am not very tech savvy, hence asking the people here, like yourself)

The site doesn't work on my phone either. BUT, I just tried 3G, and turned of wi fi, and it worked on the phone!

eircom Broadband is the supplier. So any further suggestions? Looks like using the broadband Wi fi might be a problem. No other sites affected, only the one mentioned.

Thanks again.

It could be your broadband supplier is the issue. Especially as the issue is mirrored across different devices. My advice would be to contact politics.ie and let them know the issue first, though, as your IP address may have been purposely blocked previously. It could be CloudFlare is blocking it as it was previously used by an IP banned user.
You could try turning off your Eircom modem for 5 minutes, powering back on and seeing if the issue still exists. Eircom generally provide you with a new IP address when you do this. Also worth clearing the browsers cache on the ipad

if you try to access it from the google cache, does it work?

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:aW_FVFxWQmAJ:www.politics.ie/+&cd=1&hl=es&ct=clnk&gl=ie&client=firefox-a

in this case, it is google who is requesting the site, ant not eircom.

Thank you Nick and Diwit.

I was away and only back. I turned off the wifi for a few minutes in settings, and re connected there. It is now working fine.

I haven't a clue what was going on. Thanks for your suggestions, they worked!
