I get this error infrequently on toms hardware.
Try to refresh the page or restart pc.
Connection issue?

 

[davidgirgis]

Weird:
I'm at Peet's Coffee at Lake/California in Pasadena, CA.
Just sayin'

DSL Reports says:

Run status

warning Proxy detected: Some or all of your speedtest was handled by another IP address: 76.242.117.18

Probably crappy/old/antiquated service!!

Your ISP is
AT&T Corp

Your external IP address is 76.242.117.18.

Additionally, I can ping 23.75.208.214, which I believe is the main site.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Generally, I wouldn't put your IP on a public forum. Just saying.

 

[davidgirgis]

I know ... it's a coffee shop though 😉

 

[NightHawkRMX]

If your on a phone, try it using LTE rather than wifi.

The main site is indeed working fine. You are obviously here as well.

Maybe the fine folks at Pete's just want you to buy more coffee????

 

[davidgirgis]

Yeah you're probably right COLGeek. The forum works, not the main site though.
BTW, I'm on Windows 10, and Chrome...(Of Course

Also, everything works fine on my phone via LTE...naturally...

The coffee is good, not the interWEBz...peace...

 

[davidgirgis]

It just started working again...peace...

I had the same issue, restarting my router fixed the issue.
Edit: Started reading the new Ryzen article and a minute later I refreshed the page and it is back again. An error (403 Forbidden) has occurred in response to this request. Was working for a minute or two only.

 

[davidgirgis]

Down right now. Forum works though.
Also down are TomsGuide.com and PCGamer.com

Main site works fine for me

Howdy folks!

This issue was severe last week, but our team was able to get things running again. However, there's still work going on to make sure this issue doesn't return. In the meanwhile, we may still see some issues accessing certain regions or pages while that work is being done. Please bear with us.
