You’d think with all the money they collect, they’d have permanent DDOS mitigation in place. Time for them to call BlackLotus :)
Hi Mel, They do. www.arin.net is accessible for me and most of the rest of the Internet. Your traceroute didn't work because the UDP to random ports that traceroute generates is likely among the packets the DDOS mitigator filters out. If you can't get to the web page with a browser, some things to consider: 1. Are you behind a NAT with anybody else? Anybody who might, say, be unknowingly participating in a botnet? 2. How good a job does your ISP do scrubbing spoofed source addresses originated by its clients?
