Subsim unreachable from home PC

I doubt that it's on Subsim's end. I've had no troubles at all.

Hi FK, It does seem like a security problem, have you tried deleting all your cookies, history and temporary internet files? possibly try another browser.

I apologize for that, Frau. We did migrate to a new server and a new datacenter last week. We also created our own namservers: ns1.subsim.com and ns2.subsim.com so maybe it has something to do with that? Have you tried clearing your cache, etc?

Is it possible that's what's messing up uploading too?

So it might actually be on Subsim's end? Silly me. I guess I've just been lucky.

In my case it was the issue referred to in the link I posted, I found more info elsewhere.

Ever since you installed that D-Link router, you seem to be getting redirected to www1.dlinksearch.com for websites that don't exists. And is that a Yahoo! search result page?
Is D-Link illegally cashing in on your typos and misfortune? The answer is - NO - you opted in for it. Yes, you did!
If you remember, while configuring your router you saw an option which said "Advanced DNS is a free security option that provides Anti-Phishing to protect your Internet connection from fraud and navigation improvements such as auto-correction of common URL typos.", you enabled it. Advanced DNS Service is exactly what makes non-existent websites and URLs to be forwarded to www1.dlinksearch.com.
Now that you know what Advanced DNS Service does, you might want to get rid of the "nuisance". To do that type 192.168.0.1 in the browser address bar and log in as admin. Then click on the Manual Internet Connection Options button. Then uncheck "Enable Advanced DNS Service". And then save settings. The router will reboot.

I followed those directions and now I'm getting in fine. Their "service" was redirecting me to a Yahoo search page instead of loading any subsim.com URL. It's only supposed to redirect if you try to go to an invalid URL but obviously that's not the case.

What's weird is I've had this router for a good long while now, probably since last fall when I set up this computer. And I haven't changed anything in the setup since I got it but the problem just started last week.

Edit: just saw Neal's post, I guess whatever changes were made caused something not to recognize subsim.com as valid on my end. Anyway I turned off the "service" and it's fine now. I don't want to get redirected to some Yahoo page even if I do stick an invalid URL in there so I don't care about their "service" which is probably just some way of them getting paid to redirect people's browsers to Yahoo instead of Google when searching for a web page it can't identify.

I thought Subsim was gone.

I haven't been able to access the site for a while now and assumed the state of sim and naval sub sim games meant SS had given up.

I can only see SS now because I'm using a anonymous browsing proxy website that I thought I'd try on the off chance.

Nice to see I can get my fix of naval news still.
