are you still having this issue? are you using a VPN?

I have not noticed any issues accessing the website and no one else has mentioned it.

I have seen the project go down, two or three times, around the same time of the day (late at night, GMT+0). But I'm not sure it ever lasted more than maybe 10 minutes and I haven't noticed it in recent days.

there is a cron that does system updates around that time, and the boinc server will do a reboot. but yeah it usually comes back in a few minutes.

I do not use a VPN. I have a stable, high-quality fixed-line connection from a local ISP. It seems your cron job caused another outage today—lasting about 2 hours—during which I was unable to connect (at GMT+1).
