*.roblox.com domains not loading (developer.roblox.com for some reason works though)

I can’t connect to any of the *.roblox.com websites (but for some reason developer.roblox.com works fine).

I have no idea why this happens.

Websites that don’t load on this PC:

[ul]
[li]www.roblox.com[/li]
[li]wiki.roblox.com[/li]
[li]m.roblox.com[/li]
[li]api.roblox.com[/li]
[li]polls.roblox.com[/li]
[/ul]

This is extremely frustrating.

Yes, I have cleared my cache, cookies, all my internet data. Restarted multiple times. This is only a problem on this PC. Everything else is fine. I can connect to those websites on my dad’s computer and on my iPhone. (All on the same network).

Sounds like it could be a DNS issue.

You can figure that out by changing your DNS settings to point to google’s DNS. I sometimes get issues with pages not loading and this usually helps me.

Run “ipconfig /flushdns” - this clears your DNS cache.

Then try pinging ROBLOX again.

#5

Everything was working fine and I was browsing the catalog and then I refreshed and all of a sudden it just stopped connecting.

#6

You can’t ping ROBLOX AFAIK. I’m able to connect to the site, yet when I attempt to ping it through the command prompt:

You can, you just need to use the www. prefix.

My DNS was already set to google’s DNS.

I did ipconfig /flushdns and still nothing works.

I did ping www.roblox.com and I get an IP address (209.15.15.243) but it doesn’t connect either.

Have you tried multiple browsers?

#11

Same problem on IE11.

#12

Also, I can’t play games by doing “RobloxPlayerBeta.exe --id PLACEID” in command line. This usually works.

#13

What is the exact error message? Also since DNS resolution succeeds, it sounds like you have been IP banned.

#14

I don’t get an error message. Nothing happens. Task manager shows that RobloxPlayerBeta.exe doesn’t start at all. But if I enter incorrect arguments then I get an error message appropriate to what I entered incorrectly.

Also, roblox isn’t the only website. www.speedtest.net yields the same problem (the page just loads and loads and nothing ever shows up).

I can log in on my virtual machine (which is strange) and I can log in on my phone and on my dad’s PC.

#15

api.roblox.com isn’t included when you’re IP banned, meaning you would still be able to access that page, so I don’t think that’s the reason at least. Though, that being said, I have no idea what the cause of this is then.

#16

I checked my moderation history for my account on my virtual machine and the latest moderation done against my account was last year in December.

#17

There are also systems put in place which automatically IP ban people, meaning your account wouldn’t be touched. For example, ddos prevention. However, it still doesn’t sound like you were actually IP banned.

#18

It sounds far fetched, but try using the Windows Troubleshooter for accessing a specific website.

#19

Almost 24 hours later and this is still happening.

This occurs on 2 sites currently: *.roblox.com and speedtest.net.

Also, the CSS styling doesn’t “render” on the mozilla website.

ALSO, when I go to wiki.roblox.com, the link automatically changes into the landing page php thing:

How would I do that?
