For the last two days I have been unable to connect to https://filtergraph.com/aavso

After a while Chrome just says: This site can’t be reached

Any idea what is up?

Hello Dave,

Hello Dave,

I don't have an issues reaching the filtergraph site using chrome. Are you still having issues?

Thanks,

It is still failing for me

It is still failing for me from my university's network, but it works from home. I am not sure if it is being blocked at this end or the filtergraph end. Hmmm.

Hello Dave,

Hello Dave,

Since we don't run the filtergraph website directly, I have no way of looking into your query. However, it would be very strange if filtergraph was blocking anything. It is run through Vanderbilt University and I doubt they would have any restrictions up. I would first check with your university's IT department and see what they say. 

Thanks,
