- Check the status pageAn open incident in your region explains more than any local test will.
- Test the address, not the nameIf the address answers but the name does not, it is DNS, not the server.
- Check your own firewallA rule added inside the operating system is the most common cause of a sudden loss of access.
- Use the consoleWhere the plan supports it, console access works even when the network configuration does not.
