Re: Constant Abuse Reports / Borderline Spamming from RiskIQ

Jonathan- First time posts to the list are , pardon the phrase, quarantined out of the gate. Once it's obvious that it's not spam or a problem individual, that gets released and future messages go straight out. This is still a manual process done by one person in the NANOG organization, so it's not always that fast. You likely just got caught up in that, and didn't do anything incorrectly.

Hulu contact (ipadmin unresponsive)
by Josh Luthman 13 Apr '20

13 Apr '20

I have customers on different parts of the network saying that Hulu doesn't work. They've all said other video services work (Amazon, Youtube, Netflix, etc). Same complaint from all of them - Hulu just doesn't start. Can someone from Hulu provide some support for our mutual customer?
