Chicago and Chrome?

Wed Nov 09, 2022 5:16 am

Hi

Strange one here. For about a year, I've been having problems with a site here and there not working with Chicago and thought this was due to the site banning a certain IP range so I would change servers. Yesterday, I began to have problems with many sites and Chicago. Some of these are sites I hit 2-4 times a week. So, after looking into it I found that it's Chrome based browsers that are not liking the Chicago server. I tested with Edge, Chrome and Chromium. I use Brave. Firefox works just fine with Chicago on all the sites I have problems on. Also, It seems that, after changing to another server so as to be able to load the site, I can change back to Chicago and navigate the site just fine. Any Ideas?

Thanks

Hi, I haven't seen this odd behavior before.

Feel free to share the website so we can check here too. We did an update recently with a new Chicago server. Can you restart HideAway if you haven't for the past 2 weeks and it should update to it.

Suppose it would make sense to post a couple of sites. https://gameranx.com/ is the biggest culprit until just right now. Just loaded up for me with Chicago. That's not happened in over a year on that one. Totalpackers.com all day yesterday and this a.m. Don't know what to think about gameranx.com now

Strange. Gameranx.com and totalpackers.com are working on Brave through Chicago, but Edge is not.

You're right, it's a thing from cloudflare. We'll take a look

It is actually being blocked on Chrome (try incognito) and blocked by Cloudflare. Will see if we can remedy
