[GUIDE] Openwow.com DNS is Down, How to Connect

[ComradeBork]

For whatever reason Openwow.com's DNS is down (2017-04-08 10:39:15.399 [Expired]). Here are their known IP addresses, this is the /etc/hosts file I created:

Code: Select all

104.28.10.104   openwow.com

104.28.11.104   openwow.com

104.28.10.104   www.openwow.com

104.28.11.104   www.openwow.com

104.28.10.104   wotlk.openwow.com

104.28.11.104   wotlk.openwow.com

104.28.10.104   cdn.openwow.com

104.28.11.104   cdn.openwow.com

On Linux (and probably Mac), that should allow you to continue to vote. On Windows you need to edit a similar file, this site tells you how. Hopefully OpenWoW will be back to normal soon, but we need those votes!

Note: If it doesn't work try flushing your DNS cache, trying a different browser, or restarting your computer.

Note 2: When you verify the website is back up here or here, you should remove the entries you added to your hosts file.

Edit: Updated to work with Chrome. If it doesn't work flush your DNS cache at this URL:

Code: Select all

chrome://net-internals/#dns

Edit 2: Added cdn and wotlk hosts so http://wotlk.openwow.com/ actually loads (cdn needed for images and styles, wotlk needed to access their db).
