HN blocking some IPs?

1 pointbndr1 comment

So since about 6 Hours ago I can't access HN through my normal IP, but it's working fine when I go through VPN.

Is it related to recent HN downtime?

There are occasional problems where the page won't load or I get a "gateway error" from CloudFlare. I'm guessing the site is still under attack, and the downtime is an effect of some live updates to the site.
