This has been happening for days
It's interesting that by using a VPN, I get that the forum response is fluid. But one day it works perfectly on France, the next on the USA etc and sometimes it doesn't work at all. As now
I suspect Cloudflare
Error code 520
Visit cloudflare.com for more information.

What happened?
There is an unknown connection issue between Cloudflare and the origin web server. As a result, the web page can not be displayed.
Both on my phone and laptop all week long.
With VPN and without VPN
A lie goes around the internet before anyone ever fact checks it if it is true or not. In most cases no one ever checks anything they just accept it as fact.....

I had the same for a couple of days even with VPN, I normally run no VPN, seems Cloudflare is having regional issues and Europe has the most.

I am able today to login using vpn in the U.S.
Yesterday that gave me problems on and off.
As for today it is stable on my phone.

Mine is stable since last week or so, and I only use VPN when it plays up.
The only time I don't bother is when you see the database error screen "don't have a pic" now it could be a late monthly payment or the log files which become large and fill the HDD up and one time Chaotix said it was 42GB. When this happens I email him, and he checks, and away we go again. We are only on a 120GB HDD. Whether it is virtual or physical.
Found it, I knew I had one.
Spoiler: Pic

This problem comes and goes depending on the time you access this forum.
Earlier today, it was a no-go with VPN U.S.
Now it works on my tablet.
You never know when you are going to have a problem.
It seems to come in cycles, all will work for months, and then it starts up again.
No other forum has ever had this problem, and I have been using other forums for years.

Maybe something to do with the server? Did you say Origin Serve, what others do you know of that use Origin?

Overall, the majority of users visit technical forums as usual. All forums operate without any issues. There are rare outages, for a maximum of 24 hours, once every six months. Specifically, regarding gpspower. Users should be aware of the way to access the forum, and that they must use a VPN, and in different countries, until they get results. This whole situation doesn't make the forum a favorite.

At first I suspected the server, the database...However, the moment I activate a good VPN, the forum flies
I wouldn't be surprised if Cloudflare is asking for an additional amount of money to "avoid" problems.
Other forums also have similar technical problems from time to time, it happened on the local ones in my region. Lately more often than ever before
