Sometimes ForArgyll is unavailable to our visitors. It’s an intermittent issue, and it doesn’t affect everyone. We’ve been working on it for a couple of months now, and we’re getting darned frustrated, not least because our traffic is rising,  and if people can’t get on the site our credibility suffers.

The technical issue is a pretty ferocious firewall that collects ‘dodgy’ IPs (mostly of our visitors) and blocks them. When we notice the problem we ask the hosts to “flush the firewall”. But this is becoming an onerous and tiresome half-weekly routine. So what to do? Well, we’re going to whitelist our visitors IPs in the short-term which should prevent the problem reoccurring.

So if you find ForArgyll inaccessible at any time, go visit http://whatismyip.com/ and then send your IP number to: charles at fyneside dot com. We’ll take it from there.
