Problems accessing DU [View all]

I cannot access DU from my computer in the normal way. Connections attempts appear to work but there are long delays and timeouts, and it usually does not complete. This seems to have started yesterday, perhaps late morning or early afternoon in the mountains.

It does not seem to matter what computer I use nor what browser I use. It does not work from my phone on the LAN but works OK from cellular data. Sounds like an ISP issue? Perhaps. Here is the strange thing. It works fine if I go through an anonymous browsing site; I am currently connected through hidemyass.com.

It appears that traffic is down considerably today. Perhaps I am not the only one with troubles?
