Title: Suddenly Can't Access Silk Road - Browser Keeps Timing Out. HELP!
Post by: AvalonSerene on June 22, 2012, 04:17 am
I've been a regular Silk Road user for ages - even logged on just the other day!
A few days ago I tried to log on to the onion network but Mozilla kept telling me as below:

The connection has timed out
- The server at silkroadvb5piz3r.onion is taking too long to respond.
- The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
- If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
 - If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

At first I thought it may have been network problems and wasn't too concerned but it's been a few days now and still no access! Argh! I can access the Armory with no problems at all! But Silk Road is a no go.
Is something going on?
Any help will be so, so, so thoroughly appreciated!

I tried restarting like ilovelsd said - the damn thing still isn't working.
I'll try re-downloading Tor now. Thanks guys.

Okay... I just re-downloaded and installed Tor and it's STILL not working! Again, no problems at all with accessing The Armory but Silk Road will just not load.

Try resetting your router. I have no idea what it could be, but that is what I would do next.

You don't have to reinstall tor, either stop tor and start it again or right click on the vidalia icon in the taskbar and select "New Identity".

Try to sync your PC clock, so it's up-to-date with atomic time
