You need to use https on port 443, so https://cav.ac

Unsecured connections are not really supported anymore. On most browsers, the automatic redirect from http to https should work, although i don't test this regularly anymore. But i short test showed that a connection to the server over insecure http (port 80) returns a 301 Moved Permanently with a pointer to Location: https://cav.ac/

The other possibility is that your IP is somehow on one of my firewall blacklists. Can you send me your IP via private CB ("/msg cavac my ip is 1.2.3.4") so i can check my logs?

perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'

    I've tried HTTPS first; port 80 was a later test. Thanks, I'll /msg you the IP address.

      Ah, yes, uhm, how should i put this politely without offending anyone or getting too political?

      Let's try this in the form of a press statement or an official customer reply formletter.

      "After i voiced my personal displeasure in public that a country in eastern europe is disrupting the peace and putting its nuclear arsenal on high alert, cyber attacks on my server have increased dramatically. To continue to be able to serve as many people as possible with the limited hardware resources at my disposal, i was reluctantly forced to implement GeoIP blocking for certain, limited regions of Europe and Asia.

      Unfornutately, according to my current copy of the GeoIP database, your IP falls into one of those blocked regions.

      I'm very sorry about the temporary inconvenience, these measures will be relaxed as soon as the cyber attacks slow down to the usual background level that's normal for an internet connected host."

      Sorry about that :-(

      perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'
        Well, thanks for checking for me.
