Almost every site connection fails...

[starbase1 0]

Right now almost every server returns an error.

 

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the software, (Windows 7, 64 bit), but this does not fix anything.

 

I have a suspicion it might be to do with come changes I made to settings on DNS, as I was finding it left the DNS unusable after I stopped the service, (I had to reset the source of DNS to automatic).

 

Any ideas?

Could it be hanging onto bad settings?

How can I do a full complete reset if uninstalling and reinstalling does not work?

Hello!

 

Maybe you could try the experimental client. But it would be nice with some logs too, if applicable and possible.

[go558a83nk 364]

today there was/is a large DNS problem that affected a large portion of the United States and some of Europe because of a DDOS attack on the Dyn company.

 

Perhaps that is the problem you're experiencing?

I'm experiencing this too. Major websites such as Reddit and Twitter are down for me. There seems to be a huge attack on some big DNS servers.

Good suggestion, but this has been for some time.

Finally getting round to fixing it!

OK, I managed to turn on logging, tried a few connections, and found the log file.

I can't see how to attach a file...

 

But maybe this will be good enough, a log for one connection attempt:
