Re: Authentication server down

Good evening, 

 

I cannot see any current issues with our authentication servers and users are able to authenticate and are showing data transfer is working correctly.

 

This may be a router issue or something further however I would suggest our technical support team as the best point of contact at this point.

 

I have added a note to your account however to note what I've observed thus far, hopefully this one can be sorted relatively quickly for you.

Re: Authentication server down

If located in the same area this could indicate an issue somewhere within the exchange, could you send me a PM with the usernames or postcodes with accounts affected please so I can take a further look

Re: Authentication server down

My test setup has finally authenticated but routing remains an issue. I can see intermittant pings back from google. But nothing useable

Re: Authentication server down

I'm pretty sure that there is something going on with authentication. My fibre has been down since 11 am this morning. Line is up but no authentication is happening. I can't be the only one. Second time in less than two weeks with hours of failed auth.

Re: Authentication server down

Great to hear, I wasn't able to find anything further in this case and there were no outages reported by BT, but I'll keep an eye out, please let me know if you see a similar issues again however

Re: Authentication server down

It looks like your connection briefly dropped around then.

How are things now?

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Re: Authentication server down

Thanks for replying, fine.

Since I opted for a static IP I've had far less problems, in fact zero problems. Even that brief outage occurred while I was out so no big deal.

The only reason I was aware of the dropout was that my Netgear ArloQ camera dropped out and failed to recover. My YCam cameras came back OK.
