Hi, I don't know if it's the right topic to post that but their's no "Problems related" sub-forum.

I can't connect to IndieGameStand for 4-5 days (I'm actually connected via a proxy).

Everything else works fine (all other websites and programs) and the problem still here after an ipconfig /flushdns + reboot

I tried changing my MAC address with SIW, didn't change anything. Same without firewall.

I didn't see anything suspect in my box either.

I'm out of ideas, heeeeelp !

[Edit] I use the Google DNS (8.8.8.8) and now it's working. Will investigate this.

bypass the proxy, or perhaps mirror through another proxy if you can't dismiss the first.

Sorry, that's not what I meant to say.

I used to connect to the site without any proxy but for some days it doesn't work anymore, I instantly get an error page (from all browsers).

So I use a proxy to connect to this forum and ask for some help ;)

Using a proxy is not a good solution because I don't want to make any payment from a proxy.

great point - never make a payment through a proxy as a lot of them collect your data.

It sounds like you need to contact your ISP. It is a secure site, so make sure your time clock on your computer is accurate and your certificates are setup correctly. Anyway, your ISP should be able to help - but, try seeing if it is only HTTPS (secure) sites you are having issues with first. This will help them troubleshoot you.

I resynchronised my clock on internet and checked my certificates (they are ok it seems).

I still can connect to Gmail which is https too.

And apparently, it's really weird but I can tracert to host.indiegamestand.com:

I'm really confused now :S

I tried to connect directly on the ip I can ping but it doesn't work either.


[Edit] Bingo ! I set the Google DNS (8.8.8.8) on my network card properties and now it's working perfectly fine.
I'll try to see what's wrong with my box's DNS

Thanks for your help :)
