Can't access findretros

Well, I've just come back home from a 2month holiday, and I can't access findretros.

When I try to access any page on findretros, I get an error saying it took too long to respond. When I use a VPN (Hotspot Shield) to sign in, I can access the site and vote, but when I submit the vote I'm redirected to the me page, which redirects me back to the vote page, which redirects me to the me page and so on.. Infinite loop.

I've tried using different browsers, different computers, restarted my routers etc. Also tried multiple hotels.
Hope you can help out.

You probably have gotten banned for vote boosting.

After you vote if it leads you to the me page you have it directed to the wrong page just change me to /client and it should work. ( Your Hotel)

turn off force voting and make it take you to the client
Force Voting? How can he turn it off if he's trying to get on multiple hotels? "When I try to access any page on findretros, I get an error saying it took too long to respond."

If not just try to clear your cache and cookies.

Never vote boosted in my life. Don't have an account, changed IP & reset browsers

Does this only happen when your on a VPN?
If so try this :
(1) Turn off your VPN
(2) Go to any hotel you wish to vote for.
(3) If it is successful then it's the VPN

Doesn't make much sense. Both DevBest and FindRetros are on the same server, and proxied via CloudFlare. Do you even see a CloudFlare error, or can you not reach that? Can you access other sites with SSL? A screenshot would be nice.

If you can't access SSL sites it's due to your time being wrong on pc (was with me)

Thats how it looks at first, and keeps on going for about 30sec.

then chrome displays an error whereas safari just keeps on trying to load the file.

And yes, I can access SSL websites.

Open "Network Utility" and do a traceroute of "findretros.com", because it would appear that it's an issue on CloudFlare's end?

In your terminal, type the following "sudo nano /private/etc/hosts", and screenshot the file that comes up. I really don't know what the issue is, but I don't know why in your traceroute "devbest.com" would be directly associated with "162.159.244.142".

I have no idea what the issue is. In the mean time, try using ZenMate to access FindRetros.
