New Website

[traksta1]

All cookies, caches etc have been cleaned out. Flushed dns and did some other stuff I barely understood through cmd prompt, powered off everything and rebooted. Temporarily extended timeout in FF. Nothing works. Frustratingly bonkers. Managed to get on there to change my password when Plumeblu shut down some few weeks ago but can't seem to get back there at all now. Times out on Microsoft's Edge as well and I despise Chrome for dl'ing Avast av without my say so...twice, so that's not getting on this pc ever again and I don't like it anyway. Looks like I'm shit out of luck. How am I going to get my Ambrosia fix now?.

i honestly have no idea then.
i know its a long shot but maybe save their website address as your home page in firefox to see if it bypasses whatever is blocking it through a normal search and click.
3 lines on top right of firefox > put home address as colonel boom > save > close firefox and open again.
apart from that im totally stumped as others and me it works ok.

Try going to the site on a VPN = sounds like something at their end is ‘making sh*t’ - which is logical considering they just updated it.

You can use this free for an experiment: https://windscribe.com/

@KetracelWhite. That vpn worked for me and I could connect to Colonelboom site without issue while I had it installed. Thinking the connection was now permanently re-established I deleted the vpn add on from FF and now can't get back!. I'm (easily) mystified. Any suggestions.

Edit: Just re-installed vpn. All good again but ideally would prefer it to work without the extra add on.

Another edit: Would this indicate that there is a problem at my end or Colbooms?. It did all get a bit funky while I was attempting to re-do password a few weeks ago. I can easily see how something may have bugged out.

= I think that does quite demonstrate that there's something wrong at Colonel Boom's end.

It's likely they have some security plug-in running that is blocking you - such as Wordfence etc.

Maybe you were hitting the site too frequently then got blocked or another scenario...

I suggest the best thing to do is contact the site owner and bring up the issue
— including your IP and Mac address.

You can contact them on here also.

@Colonelboom It appears you have an issue here = help this guy out hey ^_^

 

[KetracelWhite]

Seriously, don't bother spending more time trying to fix this from your end = wait on the site owner's response.

 

[Colonelboom]

Hmm, this is a strange one as the site appears to be working fine in all browsers having just checked through them all, I can't see anything in logs to suggest you are being blocked anywhere either.

Can you take a look here: https://www.whatismyip.net/ and make a note of your IP address. If you PM me with it I will whitelist you on the server to see if that does anything.

In terms of error messages, what are you getting up when you try to load it all?

 

[Colonelboom]

Also as a side note, have you tried connecting using a phone but not on a wifi connection (using phone data) and what result does that give?

 

[traksta1]

Just so people here know too. Issue has mysteriously resolved itself and all is well and connected I am again. Could be my DNS flush took a while to take or the angle of the dangle was off a tad. Interwebs a?.

Thanks for the interest and responses all.

Good stuff / glad to hear.

Also +1 to @Colonelboom for looking into this.
