  Hey guys,

  For about 7-8 hours, my blog at cocamidemea.wordpress.com is not accessible.
  Here is the message I’m getting:

  Connection to 76.74.254.123 failed.

  The system returned: (110) Connection timed out

  The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

  I’m getting different addresses: Connection to 192.0.81.250 failed and
  Connection to 76.74.254.120 failed.

  I have cleaned my browsing history and all but it is not only me. Friends from US are unable to read the blog as well. Strangely, my sister who lives on Malta, she can!

  Can somebody assist?

  Thank you kindly!
  Rita

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Many internet service providers are blocking WP.com so I would contact yours and ask them about it.

  You on Sky Broadband by any chance?

  They seem to have blocked wordpress overnight.

  Hi,

  Malicia here.

  This doesnt seem to be an issue with broadband. Our friends from America cant see the blog at all either. Rita is in the UK and she is able to log in but cant see any posts nor she can reach the dashboard.

  It is very strange since because I am based in Malta and I can access everything with no issues.

  Does anybody has any idea what this would be?

  McAfee has blocked WP.com from time to time, as have several ISPs. I’m in Canada and can see the blog just fine.

  Howdy everyone!

  It seems like a handful of users are still reporting issues even after we unblocked the ISPs. We’re still taking a look at this. We’ll keep the thread Timethief mentioned updated!
