This is weird.

This has happened off and on over the past few years. Whenever I'm in Asia, there are times when forums.applenova.com just returns the default CentOS/Apache page from a new server. I've seen it in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and (currently) Malaysia. Sometimes it works (like at the cafe I'm in right now) but sometimes it doesn't (Hong Kong airport, for instance). Also doesn't work on my phone via T-Mobile international data roaming.

Just weird. Any ideas?

Run a trace route and see what it gives you for a response. It would be nice to know where you are actually being routed to. In case you don't know, open Terminal and type:
traceroute forums.applenova.com

It should look something like this:
Code:

From there if you are actually hitting the server then it would be more to troubleshoot.

Ran a traceroute from an affected Wifi network and eventually reached the same Linode server as your traceroute, which suggests there's something really weird going on with the AN server.

Maybe some sort of attempt to filter malicious traffic by origin?

It could be a number of things. Would have to get Brad or Alc to look at the server and see what they can find.

Do you have a VPN in the States you can connect to while abroad?

Any chance you set a static route for AN at some point in the past?

Nothing in my /etc/hosts.

I also just got a 403 Forbidden from AN.

Modsec, how interesting. Someone looking at the logs would be able to see what's going on then.

Huh. I can reliably access AN when I use a local SIM, but not using my T-Mobile SIM roaming on the same network.

Mind checking your IP address on device where it doesn't work and post that here?

A bunch of networks that had issues getting to AN are now working. Brad, did you fix something?
