Title: 4/11/21 Digikey not online
Post by: dbctronic on April 12, 2021, 12:58:59 am
I can't get into Digikey, get a 403 error or it just hangs before loading at all. Anybody else? They were OK yesterday. Plenty of other sites of all kinds are OK. Just Dkey is bad.

Works for me on the west coast. I can login and browse the site as usual.

Worked fine for me today too. I'm in Idaho, with a backbone that runs to a POP in the Puget Sound region.

@tooki:

Thanks for the interesting link!

I nailed it, though. Digikey suddenly doesn't like ExpressVPN, which I've had for two years, always running. Turn off, get in. Turn on, hang up, repeatedly. I'm not terribly averse to turning it off for Dkey, just inconvenienced.

I've seen this on state and local government websites too, possibly intentionally without saying so as a means of spying or defeating hacking.

Nah, just the vpn messing up. I can load Digi-Key just fine over my NordVPN  connection.
