    Can't get onto R3v site.

    I cannot get on the site from my home PC. Using google chrome, as well as firefox. This has never been a problem before. The error message that I get is:
    "this site can't be reached"
    "www.r3vlimited.com's server dns address could not be found"

    This post is done using my phone.

    Anybody else experiencing this?

    I see your in SA. If it is early am 1am-3am Pacific coast time.

    The site is backed up and cant be reached, but if it's not that time. Could be an issue with your IP being close to a spammers IP.

    On m42club we block IP prefixes, so if people from a certain area spam. It blocks them all...


    Please leave feedback below, thanks

      I was assuming that this was the case as I could go about Internet business as normal (Gmail, YouTube, etc ..), and only R3V was giving me a problem. I had to use my phone to start this thread.

      Anyway, it seems to be sorted. This morning I switched off my Wi-Fi router and then back on again after a few minutes. Now I am able to use my home PC for browsing R3V again.

        We actually don't do a lot of IP bans. Pretty sure spammers use proxy's anyway, so banning an IP address doesn't do much. We'd have to ban wide swaths of the internet for it to be effective, unfortunately.
