I was on the LCPDFR site this Am, I bulk loaded some links I had saved, I was given an error for too many requests, and since then the site goes to "This site can't be reached" when I try to load now.
Error Message: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
Steps Taken:
I am using Chrome, I have flushed all my cookies/cache, and even reset the browser entirely.
I tried on alt. browsers (IE)
CMD Prompt: ipconfig /flushdns --> restart
CMD Prompt: ipconfig /release --> renew --> restart
Rebooted router
Allowed Chrome to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings through Windows Defender
When running network diagnostics from the "Site can not be reached page," I am given "windows could not automatically detect proxy settings."
I ensured that "Automatically settings" is ON under Proxy Settings
I ensured that my IPv4 & IPv6 are both set to obtain an address automatically
I checked for driver updates for my TPLink Network Adapter
The site will load fine when I am on my cellular network via my phone, so the issue must be local to my home network as no other device can load the site.
I am on windows 10, entirely up to date.
I was able to ping the site from the name and resolved an IP, did a traceroute on that, and had 14 successful hops so I am talking out just fine. I was given the idea to check the site via the Tor browser & mobile via cellular (where I am now so I can login and post) and boom, right in via both paths! So I am guessing when I opened multiple links @ the same time, their security settings blocked my IP, and hopefully only on a temp basis, and I hope this can be reversed?
I did get a ban notice when on Tor, when I was not logged in and was downloading mods for my adblocker so I disabled it on Tor & Chrome for this site but I am sure that was a day late and dollar short move.
Thanks for any tips or help, I am fully stuck at this point...
