Website access problems Nov 2024

We've received some reports of users unable to access the website, so please detail your issues in this thread so we can collate all of the info in one spot.

So far we have been unable to produce this locally, and current thinking is that it may be ISP related - one user was having problems when accessing via Telstra and Optus NBN services, but everything was normal when on Optus 4G.

Other people are reporting issues with 4G services.

Error messages received are “web page not available” or “cannot decode raw data”, I.e.

nsurlerrordomain 1015 cannot decode raw data

or

Apologies for the inconvenience, we will work to get this issue resolved quickly.

(Ironically, if you can read this forum thread, then you aren't having problems...)

Hi Ben, the Swellnet app on my iPhone has stopped opening. I’ve deleted & reinstalled the app several times but nothing works. Recent update to IOS18.1?

Working on mine and my iPad, try powering your iPhone off and on again. Hold power button and volume up together.

Hi Ben, recently when I select swellnet on my PC using a book mark or looking it up in google I get taken to a site https://vodu.me/ .On my phone there is no problems .
I can select forums and surf reports from google but not swellnet.com.

Yes Ben! Each time it's only swellnet main web page...
Facebook & other are unaffected.

Started around w/e 2nd/3rd Nov (4hrs > 8:00 > 12:00 all night lock out)
First time said I was visiting swellnet too often > Had to empty cookies...
After a few hours emptied cookies...whateva...no reward...
Tried a restore point & still no fix...so went to bed...

One week later went out again in arvo I think...for less time around 2 hrs
One week later went out for 1 hr...
Next went out 30mins > Next out for 20 mins > Next (recent) Tonight 10mins

Not sure if it's the 3G cross over...
Think about it this way...
Maybe happening to those spending 1hr -3hrs or more on their fav site...
Kinda like being timed out less each time when yer camping or revisiting same site often...
Back to oldschool internet time outs...
Coz that's the prompt... it's also something we crew do...spend hours in the hot seat & back again!

Also noticed that 'certain' swellnet links I posted kept spinnin' forever...not kickin' in.
Like ya said...just check back & try & try again until it links...
Just then checked back to same link...still slow or notably random link time!
Gets quicker each time the connection is established...
So that's been happening all the while over last month!
Notably for any PDF / Word type Nerdy links...( Exaggerates any link delay)

Just with all that experimenting...
Each lockout was 4hrs > 2hrs > 1hr > (Getting closer)
But also less lock out time each time...almost like a proportioned matrix delay timer...
Keep continuing with lesser length but more frequent bump off shorter delays > Links...
As said Links were likewise exhausting > timing out (Just Forget it!)
Then just ran a test > Each time the connection is faster for same link...
Like 5 Mins > 2mins > 30 secs > 10 secs > 5secs >

So that seems to be a dual pattern of being faster or learned restoration.

Also get more AVG pop ups...never used to get them...
So just by doin' that link test then...get another AVG Pop up.

About 3 weeks back...
Was actually gonna contact swellnet but just assumed it was the New Guy...so let him be.
Don't need more work place harassment so close to Local lineup...[sURF'S uP!]
From the Goldie end it was worse about 1 month back...
As said...keeps correcting itself as if it's like an ai bot learning to link better each time...

Consider these facts...
* Switch from 3G buggered the black spot mobile patching...
tbb reported that more were losing blanket mobile coverage > breaking up.
So we can consider more squeezed onto Cable > being rationed...
* They also reckon the ai switch is clogging up the grid & soon be no ocean...
Just one massive thick massive land bridge for infinite ai bot regurgitating computations.
All know that the robots bully all banking / Govt cable & leave us to mop up the dregz!

So guessin' the mass Switch from Mobile to ai bully dominated Cable is gettin' real cozy.
Kinda explains the timing of the rationed response tbb is getting...getting there!

PS tbb reported here about ALL 'Green' Web Pages were not linking at all recently..
During Qld Campaign...they thought tbb was mad...but got onto it & rebooted what ever it was...
Seems to be ongoing long haul glitches in the G switch...

Burleigh what URL are you trying to view? Can you please cut and paste from the browser address bar? The site redirects from the '.com.au' to the '.com' by default, so I'm interested to know how you're loading the '.com.au' URL.

swellnet.com.au is the URL saved in my address bar. Once i click through it's showing swellnet.com. So must be something with the redirect.
