    Having the same issue, can't log onto my work website.

    That site you linked isn't working for me either.

    Dns lookups are returning ip addresses in the 10.153 private IP address range for that twoplustwo address above. This should never happen on the public internet

    PS4 is suddenly failing on NAT - possibly related?

    159.134.0.1 (eir DNS) returns 204.232.160.145 for twoplustwo for me. The site is still not reachable by IP. I'd guess there is some routing issue to US mainly.

    (Sorry I'm a bit thick with this stuff)

    So basically its "the internet" thats broken as US servers are..."malfunctioning"? In simple language?

    When you try to connect to a site your traffic goes through several routers, some belonging to your ISP and some third party. Each router needs to know where to send on the traffic. If one of these routers malfunctions, or a link between them gets broken you see issues.

    I also can't connect to any of Nordvpns Irish or American servers. The UK servers are working grand.

    You have got to love that this has been going on for two hours and Eir still haven't said a word about it.

    Are the Irish servers working on Tunnelbear?

    I can't connect to TunnelBear's US, Canada or Mexico servers. European servers seem unaffected (UK, France, Spain). A transatlantic fibre break maybe?

    Its possible but once I'm connected to Nords working servers everything loads fine. Wouldn't they be facing the same issue?

    Oh and the only gaming service that currently works Sans-Vpn is GoG. So time to dive into that DRM free gaming library!

    Yes. I got an IP in the 185.108.x.x range and could reach twoplustwo while connected.

    The European servers would be using different transatlantic routes. I am unsure if all the Irish ISPs would be using the one cable but now there is a poster on Vodafone saying they are also having issues.

    I would think that it will be sorted by tomorrow since eir's team won't be fixing it tonight or whoever's problem it is.
