Yup, stuck trying to get into the regular Dynamis Windurst. Two others in the LS reported the same problem, but different zones they were entering.

For any folks experiencing this, the first thing Id recommend is trying out
Code
ipconfig /flushdns


To see if that helps, especially if the issue tends to be router related.

I'd also recommend trying out fixing your DNS settings on your router, if possible, to set it to Cloudflare's DNS manually, you should be able to google how to do that if you need help with it, it varies router by router but you usually are looking for some kind of setting called "Dynamic Name Servers" or "DNS Providers" or "DNS" or etc, and it will usually have two boxes to fill in.

Set them to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, and then try
Code
ipconfig /flushdns

A second time, see if that fixes it.

This seems to be an issue with certain ISP providers (or the underlying services they use), about once a year this issue comes up for them and lasts about 4-5 days and then goes away for the rest of the year.

Long ago I used to have it too, since swapping ISP I never get it at all.

It seems to be related to the DNS system they use, so it's basically failing to connect properly and XI seems to have a try once policy on near everything.

Yes. Had same issue yesterday and it happened to several other people around me (belgium/france/germany) as well.

Using a vpn solved it for now.

Wonder if it is ISP Provider fault or on the S-E end. Spoke with people from 4 different countries yesterday, and everyone had the same issue. Even more interesting, I had this issue on alt, but no issues on main.
