Hi Bob (and everyone)

Is that the traceroute that doesn't work, or the login to NS&I. Or both?


For me (on EE connection), login route works (as in I can get to the form), direct to https://secure.nsandi.com doesn't. The traceroute was just for info to show the AS assignments as per @Dan_the_Van's earlier post.

Re: Can't reach NS&I login page

I'm seeing issues with other services (proshipping.royalmail.com) but same IP block , which started precisely 00:00 9th July.. I suspect there's a BGP update gone wrong with their upstream network provider to certain blocks of IPs that PlusNet (and possibly others) use.

 

Whois reports that IP range is allocated to Atos IT Services UK, and as it's only a small subset of the internet, I suspect they're none the wiser as to the issue until their customers (the service providers using their systems) raise a ticket with them, which may be the next hardest thing to do given the lack of access to the relevant technical people needed. I'm trying via my contacts at Royal Mail but unless you've had some experienced in the game of internet routing it's not easy to comprehend!

Re: Can't reach NS&I login page

@Champnet Just checked, and no, it appears to be Zens' own servers, although I am going via the BT 'wires' - no CityFibre available here until mid-2025.

@Champnet 

"Seems to be Plusnet users connected on Openreach cabling - except @Mav 's other half..........."

To repeat my question earlier in the thread, (possibly rhetorically):

Why are some PN users, eg the OP, @Clarissa, unable to access either the NS&I direct login page or the homepage, but others, including myself, although the direct link to the login page doesn't work, can still gain access to our NS&I accounts via their homepage and the link on there?

I'm on Plusnet FTTC.

Re: Can't reach NS&I login page

Not via the link in the OP, no, @Champnet , but I can if I go via the 'homepage'.

Re: Can't reach NS&I login page

@jab1  @Mr_Paul    Illogical. From  the menu log in option callls https://www.nsandi.com/login which calls  https://secure.nsandi.com with additional qualifying text...............

Re: Can't reach NS&I login page

I agree, @Champnet - but what is causing this illogical operation is way beyond my comprehension.

So am I. But I too can get the NS&I homepage OK, but not the login page. Either directly or via the home page.

Re: Can't reach NS&I login page

I've enabled a VPN app on my iPad. 

https://secure.nsandi.com returns a 'too many http requests' and https://secure2.nsandi.com hangs indefinately, but login through the menu does work - I didn't log in as I don't trust free VPN clients.

It does begin to look like an IP range block, some of us have an address begining with 2 and others 7, thats a big block.

@Mav could have the answer if he can work out the difference between his and his other half's connections..
