I've been experiencing errors connecting to HN, and can only reach it via mobile. At first I thought I was banned due to a satirical string of comments or possibly posting an html code and emoji in the AMP thread yesterday.

However, after a quick exchange with dang, he assured me I wasn't banned, the issue had nothing to do with them, and even restored my previosly lost handle "vonklaus'.

Symptoms

> Can not reach HN.

> traceroute returns * for every entry. Also the case for other sites even local ips.

> over 4g i can reach HN and login.

> sometimes i reach cloudflare with unknown errors.

> login redirects immeadiately to "Mozilla firefox cant find file: https://news.ycombinator.com/login?goto=news "

> affects safari and all browsers. Also, my phone when connected to the network, but not when disconnected.

Using a mac book pro 13" retina using el capitan and my dns servers are 8.8.4.4, 8.8.8.8, and openDNS. I think my router/network is possibly compromised. I did a hard reset of my router, renewed the lease, and cleared arp to no effect.

I think it is possible that I am somehow ip banned, have a bad cache sonewhere, or someone is doing something maliscious on my network and HN security features are serving as a canary, and breaking the unsecure connection.

Not really sure how to proceed but would love advice. I could believe a bad config if not for now 3 computers failing to login. Just tried on chrome on PC. Loads fine, then login is err connection refused.

Happened ~2 yesterday. No obvious changes were made.
