flare 2 Posted ... (edited) I noticed that sometimes the dns cannot resolve common sites like reddit or for example if I open imgur with the vpn on firefox or safari, the spinner keeps spinning till I disable the VPN , then it works . Looks like there's a kind of cache poisoning or filtering because other sites work just fine . Not sure what's going on but just wanted to let you know for example (using netherland server)https://imgur.com/a/PRr9stV regards Edited ... by flare Quote Share this post Link to post
OpenSourcerer 1441 Posted ... Your screenshot does not confirm a DNS resolution error. Imgur is clearly shown. If it's not too much work, open the developer console with F12 on any browser (alternatively, Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I on Firefox) and switch to the Network tab. Then reload the page with Ctrl+F5. See if you get any 403 errors; these'd be indicative. 404 or a block symbol is more like adblocker. Quote Hide OpenSourcerer's signature Hide all signatures NOT AN AIRVPN TEAM MEMBER.

flare 2 Posted ... you're right it was kind of low effort post , more to collect feedback from others that might have had these strange random problems that are not blocking , just annoying doing tests with Safari that has not any adblock without the VPN works , with the vpn I get some 403 errors from the API { "data": { "error": "Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later." }, "success": false, "status": 403 } so it's the api that apparently reduces the capacity per IP , trying different servers seems to work. That does not explain why sometimes major sites (reddit, ansa etc..) appear down (404) until I change server but it helps thanks Quote Share this post Link to post

Still strange they use a 403 reply in such a case. Maybe it's an API-specific error code and not a HTTP code? But then why use something that can be mixed up with a valid, widely used, plausible HTTP code? All a bit strange. 42 minutes ago, flare said: That does not explain why sometimes major sites (reddit, ansa etc..) appear down (404) until I change server but it helps Indeed, these need to be analyzed separately.

flare 2 Posted ... >Hm. Still strange they use a 403 reply I'm not very familiar with safari, I just used it because it's vanilla without plugins. The 403 error was indeed coming from the api , the http response error is 429 (Too many Requests) which makes more sense 1 OpenSourcerer reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
