FWIW, I was having issues accessing the site last week. Out of nowhere, the site would just time out out on every device using every browser on my network. I traced it back to my Cisco Linksys router which, for some reason, seemed to interpret traffic with TUG as a denial of service attack which it blocked. This seemed to be related to conducting searches on TUG.

The issue is outlined in-depth at http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Linksys-router-blocked-website/td-p/12917, but the solution in my case (and apparently for many others) was to have the router clone my PC's MAC address.

This may have nothing to do with the problems anyone else is having, but it knocked my access to TUG out cold for nearly a week until I found that thread.

HTH.

That was specific to Firefox ver 17. It was fixed in Firefox 18.

Yay... I'm back on and thank goodness. Looks like Brian fix worked. Hope everyone else can get into Tug now.
