hio77: I've had mention passed along that this has happened with tab before. Back then they geoblocked any ip that didn't resolve to *.co.nz.

At which point I'm sitting here shocked at the floored logic.
I'm hoping the block isn't still that arcadic.

Using cloudflare these days

@matisyahu let me introduce @skewt

Awesome, got it all sorted - hopefully we'll have some happy customers going forward.

Come on, what was the problem in the end? My bet (pun intended ) was a routing change made some of the connections appear as though they are coming from Australia rather than NZ.

Did I understand that Tracert correctly? That TAB use Australian based hosting, despite it being illegal to access the TAB from Australia.

NZ based hosting, will just be weird routing
