Ron Gray Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Logic says that if something has changed over the last few days, it was working before and now isn’t plus it seems to be affecting a lot of people plus it works on some browsers and not others, then it’s a security setting / cert that has changed on the BMFA side. You should not, as an end user, have to play around with any router settings to get it working again, it is something that the BMFA will / are looking into (as mentioned elsewhere in this thread). BTW, I run Macs and the site is not available using Safari or Opera but in my Win10 VM I can accesss it using Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Christy Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Posted by Sean O'Dwyer on 23/09/2018 19:11:22: You can't change the DNS settings on the BT Hub Sean, If you are using a router and have set it up with the supplied disk (or by pressing the buttons on the thing) to link it to your computer, your computer will probably have set its DNS to look at the hub. You can still change the settings on your computer so that it uses its own DNS settings rather than the hub's. Ron, I completely agree that this shouldn't be necessary, but someone needs to diagnose the problem. All my machines (Mac, Linux and Windows) log on without issues. The only "odd" thing I do is use OpenDNS. It could be that something has indeed changed at the BMFA end, but that change hasn't rippled through to all the DNS servers yet (perhaps a switch to https?). If we can confirm or eliminate this, it will help diagnose the problem. Perhaps your windows VM is using Micro$ofts DNS rather than your ISP's? Can you check? -- Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O'Dwyer Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hi Pete, I've just set the Windows DNS to your openDNS settings that you posted earlier, but the problem still persists. Cheers Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyuk Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I run win 10 on a laptop, Mac os X on a desktop, IOS on an Ipad and Android on my phone. It works on ALL of these as I have just checked. So something strange is going on for some folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Christy Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Sean: OK, thanks for checking! I thought that might be the problem, but at least its something we can now eliminate from further investigation. I would suggest restoring your original settings, unless you want to continue using OpenDNS. **LINK** And thanks for your help! I would have done it myself, but I'm not having the problem...! -- Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Cracknell Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Is there anyone at BMFA HQ monitoring this and perhaps giving us an update....?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I reckon it could be out for weeks, even into October. Problem is that it's not a big site, such as Amazon. If Amazon.co.uk goes down, it will be up straightaway - being their only source or sales - the internet and having back up upon backup servers to make sure their site doesn't go off line for even a second... A Model Shop, or BMFA.org, there is no rush... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Marsh Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I tried logging on with a new device last night, first time it was powered up - an Alphawise H96 pro, a sort of Smart TV internet/film music box that you can access my network to play into the TV. Also has internet access and tried to log on onto BMFA. Still not working. I think the only way it would work if someone had their own VPN, by-passing the Http protocol.

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 My BT router (Hub 5) is set to the following DNS servers: Primary DNS: 81.139.56.100 Secondary DNS: 81.139.57.100 If DickW or another BT user who is experiencing problems could confirm whether they are using the same DNS servers it would eliminate this possibility as I am getting to the site every time - on top of which, the only time I had a problem was when I was using an iPad via a Sky router at my daughter's.

Sean O'Dwyer Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Martin, Yes, I have the problem and my BT Hub has the same settings. However, we have already established that this is not a DNS problem as I have tried the OpenDNS values on my PC and still had the problem.

Edited By Rocker on 24/09/2018 20:31:18 The BMFA are working on it and have been since Thursday. They requested information from users with the problem and several of us have provided screen prints, logs, etc.. Since it only affects some people it is proving difficult to track down the cause and fix it, so we just need to be patient.
