[OZAPRS] aprs.net down?

[Richard Hoskin]

Norm,

The VK APRS-IS servers were badly hacked a few years ago. To stop this
happening again some aggressive software was installed which blocks IP
addresses to the servers that the software thinks is a threat.
Unfortunately
the software gets it wrong sometimes.

If you are blocked changing your IP address will get you back in. One
advantage of having a dynamic IP address. Or wait until the blocked IP
address is timed out and let back in.

Cheers
Richard
