Over the last two weeks, I have been unable to access typedrawers.com from Switzerland about half of the time. Depending on the browser, I received either an 'ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR' or a 'PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR'. Are other users experiencing this as well?

    It might be a DDOS attack on Vanilla’s servers. Forums get attacked a lot. Vanilla can handle huge attacks but a really monstrous attack can still choke them.

    When typedrawers.com is down in Switzerland, as it is right now, other forums like civicwagon.com are accessible. Using a VPN is okay for me, but other users probably won't think to use a VPN when they see that a site is inaccessible. My internet provider, Swisscom, even warns me that typedrawers.com is a security risk (phishing, fraud), which is definitely a bad reputation for a website.

    Sounds like your ISP may have over-active security protections.
