CFARS down?

[eigenstate]

Hi.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but here goes:

Got an email from CFARS about my COE telling me to log in and check messages. However going to https://cfars.doj.ca.gov/login has not connected for the past 4 days.

Is this just me, or is everyone having this problem.

Thanks!

Works for me. I don't have a login so I didnt try but the website comes up.

Thanks! Found the issue and it is an odd one. I am currently up in Canada dealing with family issues. Just for an experiment I turned on my VPN to a California server, and sure enough, CFARS website works. Turn off the VPN, no response.

Incredibly strange that they would block out of country IP address, but that's what we pay the taxes for!

I just tried from a Canada VPN endpoint and it blocked me, so I would say your theory is correct - DOJ blocks foreign IPs
