Can't connect to http://holometer.fnal.gov/

Hey all,
Just testing out the app and for some reason it wouldn't let me connect to http://holometer.fnal.gov/ not sure why (maybe you just can't access it for some reason) but thought I'd report it!

I am not able to ping that IP using the desktop client either. Some networks block MTU discovery, and sometimes can't be reached over a VPN, but that is increasingly rare. Do you know if you can reach that host over other VPNs?

I can reproduce the bug.

I pinged and surfed that site using desktop client, a few seconds ago, but now the site is not responding.

hahaha

I just loaded the site from my phone using bitmask android and lucid browser.

I can't reproduce this bug. @Asherehsa do you?

I don't have another vpn to try but still can't access the site via the ubuntu or android bitmask clients. Here is a traceroute, if it helps:

I think the the problem is not the VPN. I am able to grab the website if I switch gateways. It appears that the network in question is blocking traffic from the seattle nodes for both demo.bitmask.net and riseup.net vpn providers.

it might be that the problem is cogent, the upstream provider for the servers in seattle.

regardless of what the problem is, i am confident it does not relate to MTU or any problem with the client application, so I am going to close this issue. Obviously, there still is a problem, but I don't think it is one we have any control over.
