What is going on with Calguns?

[S dot]

on uverse in SD with no problems.

Whats funny is that if I search for calguns on Google and then click a link there it works. If I type it into the address bar in my browser bar I get a 404. So I guess it still could be referrer related.

i googled it and it worked.

if you guys are in the same area, you are probably experiancing a DNS node that has gone down.

what is a DNS node?

I'm down in Orange county, and CG was unavailable for about 10 minutes.

So I droned on at other gun websites until I could get on here..

Where I work we have multiple direct lines to the Internet (essentially because my company is so big, it is it's own ISP in that it talks directly to a backbone).

Same here.

another stop along the way before you get to calguns. typically its multiple co-ops/nodes before you reach your destination. if one goes out then the internet cries, since theyre all daisy chained together, but specifically certain areas, because they usually go through the same hops before the final.

I had this problem too earlier. Using UVerse in the L.A. area.

I suspect Calguns is hosted in a web-space-for-rent server farm. Sometimes these places oversell their services, and when calguns and the porno site on the same switch both get hit hard, the system may start having trouble.

I tried firefox, IE, chrome, and safari... No luck on any of my computers. I also typed the ip directly but no luck either. Last I googled it and clicked on it and no go! Boooooo AT&T!

[DannyInSoCal]

I had an issue with COX cable earlier

Maybe gpal is finally processing everyones payments and that is slowing down the Internet.

thank you.

this is perfect example of what would happen if you give internet providers complete control of end users' access to the internet. blocking specific sites or making it very slow to access unless that site owner pays a fee.

this is why net neutrality is so important and where private corporate control cannot happen.
