Hey dang,

Thanks for getting back to me quickly yesterday and restoring my old hn name. I still seem to be unable to connect from my entire network, and I have gotten a few arbitrary upvotes, but no one has responded to any comment or submission since yesterday. Coupled with connectivity issues, would you mind double checking there is not a ri.ri.cox.net ip address that was banned at a software level, begins with 72 and ends with 48. Sorry to reply here, just trying to confirm if i am visible. Thanks for the reply yesterday, cheers.

i somehow am having traffic timeout to most cloudflare severs. Sorry to bother you again, you were super helpful. Going to try and figure this out or find a direct ip if it exists. Super fast, really pleasant response yesterday. Thanks again. I am def. visible.

I had all sorts of intermittent problems like this about 18 months ago. In my particular case it was

   The web server reported a bad gateway error.

Dan and I went back and forth a few times in email but didn't conclude anything before things cleared up. I haven't seen the problems since.

One thing to try is to set up a Personal Hotspot on a phone, and point your laptop at that. In my case I would still see the same errors.

Good luck.

Edit: this may be nothing but IIRC I had more problems trying to access HN anonymously than if I was logged in. Sounds crazy, but most intermittent problems are exactly that: crazy.
