Hi Walter & Co,
www.freewaypro.com is down and our Websites (using freecounter2) are not reachable, too.
Can you have a look?
Thank you,
Tom

My DNS host is under attack, and this has been happening for a couple of days. If you want to set your own DNS record to work around this, do the following:

  1. In Terminal, type ‘sudo nano /etc/hosts’ and press Return. Enter your user password when prompted.
  2. Press the down-arrow as many times as it takes to reach the bottom of the text.
  3. Paste in this: 173.234.143.171 freewaypro.com
  4. Press Control - o and then Return to save.
  5. Press Control - x to exit the nano editor.
  6. Type dscacheutil -flushcache and then press Return.

You may need to restart your browser after this. This will give you a static DNS lookup that will not be affected by storms on the net. Remember, though, I may move servers at some point, and this record will no longer be accurate.

At the moment, I am able to look up this host without trouble (and without the hosts file hack) but this may be a lull in the DDoS storm.

Apparently since the mind-numbingly massive and internet-slowing attack against Spamhaus and Cloudflare a couple months ago there’s been a surge of DDoS-style attacks, big and small.
