Ask HN Is Verizon blocking access to Hacker News?
I'm scratching my head at this one. I'm at home. I have Verizon DSL and today I can't get to Hacker News through my DSL connection. I can get to www.ycombinator.com, but the connection times out on news.ycombinator.com. If I VPN to work (on the same machine) then I can get news.ycombinator no problem.
Does anyone else experience this or something similar with Verizon?

- blogimus 16y agoGood idea. I'll try it when I get back home.
- bkrausz 16y agoI'm on FiOS and HN was down for me for the last hour or so, not sure if it's related. That wasn't a DNS error (I use GOOG DNS), just a connection issue.
