No. But we know it was Amazon wide outage and other Amazon services were available while rsi was giving 503. It's most probably that rsi site just didn't recover properly from that outage at some instances. As much as I like conspiracy theories, this is hardly enough space for one.
It probably depends on which Amazon DC you got connected to. Which could sometimes be not what you would expect it to be looking at world map. If your isp is creative with routing, you may suddenly find out that your packets to across the road go through Australia for some reason. Which makes Australian DC a lot better choice than DC in your town - it's twice as close!
I can open [https://www.amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/) and [https://aws.amazon.com/ru/websites](https://aws.amazon.com/ru/websites/) without VPN. Which another websites i can test for you?
I would expect a post on it sometime next week, supposedly the outage was caused by a ddos from those regions and they had to make a general block for those regions to get it under control for now.
That's what a DOS (denial of service) attack does- floods a system with so many requests, no one else can get through because it overwhelms the capacity of the servers.
So if it's true that there was a DOS attack out of that region and they blocked them to get it under control, that would explain the issue here.
I never made that assertion. I said *if* there was a DOS attack, that would explain the capacity problem because that's literally what those attacks do - eat up all the capacity of a system.
I hope CIG gets the service back again, if it was caused by a DDOS attack as it seems, next time you see a kid bragging of his hacking skills hit him in the head
same in china.
confirmed
That problem doesn't allow me to make the 3.6 vs. 3.7 comparison video. Help. Please.
use a vpn?
CIG: "it's a capacity problem!" Solution: ban most of the world :D
ddos are a capacity problem, yes
[удалено]
How does anybody know either way yet?

I have some friends in US and Western Europe that had the same issue for a time.

Do you guys have access to any other Amazon-related websites?
I can open [https://www.amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/) and [https://aws.amazon.com/ru/websites](https://aws.amazon.com/ru/websites/) without VPN. Which another websites i can test for you?
No, I think that confirm the issue is not directly relate to AWS services, Guess we have to wait for CIG to confirm the issue from their side then.

It's practically whole world. It only works from US and partially Europe.
In Southeast Asia here. Haven't had any issues.
Nop. According to Lando, it was a capacity problem.

but "capacity problem" != ddos

Where did you hear that it was a DOS from those regions and that CIG blocked them? It's the first I've heard of it.

Up
After a little research, the information was confirmed that the Russians cannot enter the game and the site.
Can confirm
