Hi Ednedn

Could be several reasons.

I assume you are based in the USA as your profile says. Some members sign up and select a different country for some reason, and a few countries are blocked in our firewall.

Using some VPN's can cause this, it depends on how they are routing the data. The site lives on servers in Australia.

The internet has been flakey for a while lately, Trumps war has led to a spike in slow/blocked traffic and down time. There's a lot of DOS attacks going on, mostly from Iran.

See if there is a pattern, like times of the day when access is good, or bad.
