    Internet Connection Problem

    The past several days, I've been unable to connect to onlineliterature.com from either my desktop or laptop at home, but I can still connect from my workplace. Anyone else having similar problems?

    I get a message saying Error 502. When I looked up Error 502 on Google, I found all sorts of stuff - nearly all of it said the problem is most likely between the website and the upstream server and/or the gateway/proxy. Some of the entries talk about a "CloudFlare service error." I'm not at all tech savvy, but it sounds to me like the problem needs to be corrected from the website itself. If that's the case, then this message is to bring the problem to the attention of the administrators.

    If the problem is on my end, does anyone out there have any recommendations on what I can do?

    If you're connecting fine from work, then it can't be the website. If you have a smartphone and home wi-fi, you can try connecting with your phone. If it works from your phone but not your computer (at the same time), then something's funny with your computer. If your laptop has wi-fi capability and connects to LitNet elsewhere (say, the library), then it may be your home internet provider. Basically, try different things in different places to narrow down what's not working.

    first of all, try online-literature.com not onlineliterature.com

    second of all, please follow the instructions here from the location where it isn't working:

    https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en...gateway-error-

    then post it here or email to [email protected] and I'll see if I can figure it out.
