Rod... My best guess would be that you have a virus that has hijacked your DNS resolution. But I could be just scare-mongering. Dave - absolutely correct - but I did read your post after I had fixed it. I think that it nmight have been caused when I installed MPlayerX to try to get a better handle on x265 codec. This was flagged up by bitdefender as having a virus (even though I downloaded it from the official site). I had a look at my DNS Servers in my WiFi settings and I found four rogue entries. 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 Having removed all of these I appear to be back up and running. It did take me a day of sweat and tears to find it though. Those four DNS entries are OpenDNS and Google respectively, so they shouldn't have been causing the problems. Anyway, glad it's fixed

Congratulation TomNuttall on getting into the team Top 10 for points (the one that really matters, but doesn't give you badges).

Yes, very good. Its a pity that I had the three and a half year break from crunching, else I may have been even higher. Onwards and upwards...

Good morning all
----------------------------------------Those four DNS entries are OpenDNS and Google respectively, so they shouldn't have been causing the problems. Anyway, glad it's fixed Dave it was the OpenDNS that was causing me problems in that it was blocking all sorts of web sites that I visit (to download TV programs that I can't get here) as well as my VPN site and my email access. All I can think is that OpenDNS objects to a Bolivian IP address and react accordingly. I have had issues with email being rejected on this front too. Has anyone noticed that the BAM Stats have not updated for a couple of days? Other Stats web sites (which I suspect feed from BAM) such as Snurk (WCG signature ranking) and Free-DC have also halted (last return 02:51:11 on 27th February. The good news is that Dave's stats are bang up to date! Congratulations!

I spent about 10-11 years away from crunching, after I graduated from University - my late Nan first becoming very ill kind of put this back in my mind, again. I do sometimes wonder how much potential research I could have helped out with, if I had carried on with it after University.  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Thargor at Mar 1, 2017 3:19:30 PM] |

I use OpenDNS as well and I have not noticed any difficulties with any websites. PM me one and I will try it out from over here. |

Good morning everyone. We are having cooler. wetter weather here at the moment which is quite a welcome change.
----------------------------------------It is so nice to see that my efficiency and performance statistics are back on a spectacular rise. I clocked up nearly 90,000 points yesterday whereas (for the same run time) I was struggling to get 50,000. I hope it continues.
