autohotkey.com

22 Mar 2017, 12:07

Bear with me, because I'm having a hard time understanding what's going on here. I have autohotkey.com set to open in a tab in FF. About 6 days ago, I started seeing a Cloudflare message telling me that the site is offline. I gave it a few days thinking that it would eventually resolve, but it never did. It's still coming up as offline. I checked ahkscript.org, and that seemed to come up fine, but... when I tried to login, it redirected to autohotkey.com and failed.

I was able to back out of the failed autohotkey.com attempt and, when I did, I was logged in at ahkscript (here), which allowed me to make this post.

Is autohotkey down? If so, is it down permanently? Did I miss an announcement somewhere along the way?

Clear your cookies?
Maybe flush DNS and clear DNS cache?

Cookies and DNS cache cleared. Still nothing.

I have access to two other IPs for work. I tested those and they are coming up offline as well. All three are Northern NJ, Verizon FIOS, in three different towns. Based on reading the google captcha thread and threads on Reddit, this looks like it might be a Cloudlflare issue. If Cloudflare is blocking all FIOS customers from reaching autohotkey.com, that's going to be a pretty substantial number.

Even if Cloudflare isn't involved and FIOS customers are blocked for another reason, that's still a lot of people that can't access the site.

you cannot possibly get to these forums from ahkscript.org. Not sure what your getting at. ahkscript.org redirects at the server to autohotkey.com and furthermore ahkscript.org has no instance of this forum.

I couldn't see the main page for a few weeks.
There was the image of the page with a message (Cloudfare) splashed at the top.
https://autohotkey.com/boards and http://autohotkey.com/boards also didn't work.
https://autohotkey.com/docs worked

Docs are cached. and yes there are enhanced security on the boards/ some browser agent or other addons must have been triggering. I did recently remove all IP ranges from being blocked after identifying some bot ranges a while back. those blocks were on the server and would have affected all non cached pages i.e the forums. that might explain your issue as well.
At any rate i apologize for any legit users that got scooped up in my fighting off bad actors

Here is a video I recorded just now where I navigate this forum via ahkscript.org

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxJjJ-5Z0wY

As you can see, the only time it redirects is after the login, but I can back out of that, reload the page and be logged into the forum instance on ahkscript.org. It's not in the video, but the only other time it redirects is during posting. When autohotkey.com was inaccessible, it would redirect and throw up the cloudflare page after posting, but, just like the login, I could back out of it and the post would appear on ahkscript.org. That's how I was able to open this thread.

Not that any of this is all that consequential, because autohotkey.com is now working. Thank you. I just wanted you to be aware that I wasn't making any of this up.

you got some wicked browser nonsense occurring there. the home page at ahkscript literally contains nothing but a header redirect. and the boards folder doesn't exist. even if you somehow got passed the redirect in the .htaccess. I suspect you got some kind of strange add-on that is faking the domain to stay where you started. either way your browser is defiant of how things work and you are definitely not actually logging in from ahkscript.org. your browser must be masking the redirect somehow with an add-on. I suspect you would need wire-shark or fiddler to see the truth. There is also no ssl for ahkscript.org. So I'm not calling you a liar, i am calling your browser one.

I do have about 20 add ons in firefox, and I've tinkered extensively under the hood, but... I also have access to completely stock firefox (and IE) boxes. On a vanilla install of firefox and IE, when I try to load

https://ahkscript.org/

I get a certificate error, but if I confirm an exception, I'm in. And, for the record, these boxes aren't just vanilla firefox/IE, they're vanilla everything. Stock Windows 7 + stock IE 11 + stock office + stock firefox (50.1.0) + stock skype + hp printer driver- that's it- no special configuration whatsoever.

Clearly https://ahkscript.org/ is not returning that home page, but the autohotkey.com one. http://ahkscript.org/ correctly redirects.

I confirm that if I load https://ahkscript.org/ in Chrome, Firefox or IE, I get a certificate error, and bypassing that I get the AutoHotkey website. No redirect. The problem is not client side.
