well ... i installed puffin. the good news is that i got access to oh2 for the first time since early march. the bad news is every time it changes/loads a page i get a warning with the suggestion to go back .. or take the risk.

i take the risk and move forward but this makes the site pretty much unusable. i will likely endure the issue ... but only when necessary. iow, i don't expect to use the site as regularly as i have in past years. as readers can tell, i have been on eccie a long time but the changes made a few years ago really cut into the value of this site, too (referring to 'no ads', limited access to info in "provider showcase". pity).

^^^ Dodger, use a VPN and those problems will go away....

Installed NordVPN and still have “this page not secure” issue. <shrug>

I have not been able to access OH2 for a long time. How long does it take to fix an issue????? I guess I will try this Puffin, but this is annoying. I have tried using my VPN and I get a message saying my IP address has been blocked. If I can even get to the site at all, when I try to log in I get a message saying I have had too many failed login attempts.

Anyone seen the "file not found" thing?

I can only assume the attacker is refining the attack on oh2?

As of 8am CST, the OH2 homepage is showing "Hello world" in plain text HTML. Idk what's going on with them, it looks like the site is having more issues.

lebrouge · 05-15-2022, 07:53 AM

Yes as of this morning, it looks like the actual website was hacked and its files replaced with garbage. This is in addition to the DDOS attack that's been going on for several weeks, and the bad security certificates.

This means that trying to use another browser and/or VPN will not work anymore ....

Somebody's REALLY got it in for ourhome2...I do hope the site owners have a backup of their site's file...

Saw the same too when logging into it today. Yesterday OH2 sort of worked but had to enter my password from page to page and forum to forum.

Here’s the exact display from this morning:
<html>
<header><title>This is title</title></header>
<body>
Hello world
</body>
</html>

Doubt they have the technical resources to recover. Their technical issues have gone on far too long for any regular business to survive.

OH2 should have never opened up to the public. It was meant to be a private site for no more than 100 people.

Tkel87 · 05-15-2022, 02:54 PM

Well now that its done with, whats the next best option? Every other site is scammers it seems

tylerdurden35 · 05-15-2022, 10:24 PM

Imo OH2 was mainly texas only. Similar to tob being denver only. Not incredibly difficult, but just open an new one for texas only. OHT. At this point, it now looks like OH2 is officially done unless the owner and hacker can kiss and make up.

Can't hide the fact that I'm really pleased about this. CK had become a total dipshit this past year. I'm glad his little kingdom has come crumbling down. The only thing I'll miss from there is the sugar baby thread.

tylerdurden35 · 05-16-2022, 05:42 AM

CK good or bad, I didn’t know him. I feel for the providers that relied on oh2, and there’s really nothing else out there that seemed to work as well as oh2. Does eccie have new talent popping up, probably not, where would they post?

It’s almost like it’s up to the hobbiest now to roll the dice on dicey sites at a huge risk then post on eccie if they got robbed, catfished or scammed.
