Impossible to connect

Hello,

Since some hours the MBz website isnt working for me: Trying to connect then timeout.
Could you confirm if you are in same situation?

Thanks

I checked isitdown and they said it’s down for everyone :-(. I’m so bored now, lol.

Yes, it is down likely since 4:30 UTC.

Is it something serious? Do we have any ETA?

Yes, that’s serious, we are still investigating issue.

That was weird, just boom no musicbrainz. Had to go to bed instead of tagging a bunch more fresh CD rips.

A post was split to a new topic: Trouble connecting to MB via a commercial VPN provider

I posted and withdrew a comment a couple days ago about this outage being a DDoS attack. Based on this article and the above blog post, it looks like we unwittingly got swept up in one because of a flaw in Plex’s interface (that they have since patched, so hopefully this never happens again).
