It doesn't seem to be enjoying a DNS forward from a lot of areas. Odd.

I can access with no issue - obviously - but most people I know no longer can.

It is odd. I cannot access from any NordVPN server, even in other countries. And that is using direct the IP address.

But I still access it with my ATT DSL......for now.

I run/manage a small ISP. I can tell you we will not be blocking ARFcom or any site/IP Block not generating some sort of DOS or DDOS attack at us.

I can't speak for others, but working in the industry as long as I have, I'd think most ISPs will remain the same.

But are there other "chokepoints" along the way that other than hosting and DNS that could be an issue?

Here is the way I understand it (if I am wrong, well, its worth what you paid for it..lol)...

DNS is usually cached at multiple levels... so the device you are currently using works now because somewhere along the line the domain name and IP address are cached.  Eventually it will drop out of cache and you will no longer be able to resolve "ar15.com"

The servers are still online, that is why you can get to AR15.com using cached DNS, host file entries, or using the IP address.


The team is most likely setting up  "ar15-backup.com" with another registrar to get an active domain name with SSL certs up and running.

Wouldn’t a big website like Ar15.com “own” the domain name? Why are they beholden to godaddy?

I think they are blocking DNS which resolves ar15.com to an IP address.  You type in ar15.com in your browser and your computer doesn't connect because it doesn't now the IP address(es) that resolve to the human language AR15.com servers.

Nobody's DNS will. The domain has been shut off at the top. If it works, it won't for long.

Instructions are here:

Any other gun sites, or conservative sites you want to keep, get their IP numbers now before it's gone.

You need these:

Name:    ar15.com
Addresses:  3.20.37.167
        3.139.193.203
        3.138.255.236


Name:    cdn.ar15.com
Addresses:  54.230.252.67
        54.230.252.11
        54.230.252.18
        54.230.252.80

Add them to your hosts file.

For those that need a bit of hand holding, access your router's admin/settings, and under router settings, change your DNS to OpenDNS using 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 .

Forgive me for trying to do this in one sentence.

Actual websites are located at IP addresses, eg. 192.168.1.1, and when you type in a URL like iloveanimecatgirls.net the DNS service connects that text to the number based IP address and allows you to connect to the site.

It's DNS server issue.
Turn off CyberSec in nord and make sure your local stuff uses 9.9.9.9 for DNS.

GoDaddy? Yikes, move registration someplace else !!!

The other DNS may just have very long TTL set, and that's why they still work.
