Quote from: lwhitworth A VPN would be a solution yeah, but you'd never get me using a free VPN service, which means looking at a paid solution for something that should be working anyway
Thanks
Never used to VPN (never needed to) so all new to me.
What would be wrong with a free VPN, Unreliable?
My asus router has a section for openVPN any use?
Thanks
I see it more as a privacy issue tbh. If I'm going to be routing all my traffic through someone I want some contract in place!
What VPN do you use recommend?
Thanks

Same goes for imgur, when it is trying to connect to hwcdn, it fails to load.

If we can provide anymore information in this thread it might make it easier for them. If someone knowledgeable could do a summery that would help too.

Hope to see this fixed soon, noticed over the last week there was an issue with a few other sites as well but just assumed it was those sites until today.
Doesn't seem to be a specific gateway either, reconnected a number of times today to gateway hop, had at least 5 different gateways (bng01, 02, 04 and a couple of non-bng ones) and it was the same issue for all of them.

So thats 0.16s to get an image via another ISP versus 2m18s via plusnet. Get it together!
edit: here's a possible fix for chrome users for imgur:
- go to chrome://net-internals/#hsts in chrome
- in the 'add domain' section type 'imgur.com' and click add
- again in the 'add domain' section type 'm.imgur.com' and click add
this makes your browser rewrite all http requests to imgur to go via https, which cannot be man-in-the-middled by plusnet in such a botched way.
to undo the workaround go to that same chrome url and enter imgur.com and m.imgur.com into the delete section.

Yep, Thank you for the work around!
