Connectivity from Australia

Time of past OR future Camino
2017 Camino Frances,
2019 C. Portuguese (inland).
Is anyone else in Australia, or elsewhere, having difficulty with access to this Forum? I am experiencing very, very lengthy delays in nearly everything I do here, no matter which button I click, no matter what I do, to the point where it's practically unworkable for me to participate. Is it just me and my machine? Anyone else out there noticing a big difference in access?? Jim.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

There have been reports of similar experiences [...] but I expect that is something completely different.
That'd be me.
Same experience on this end, and it may not be different, who knows?

I did all the usual things, and upgraded my operating system, as well as now using a different browser that @ivar suggested that has a built-in VPN.

I'm happy to see that you are able to post again @VNwalking !
 
Yay! Happy that that worked!

My sentiments exactly! Thanks, Ivar — it's the Opera browser that seems to have made the difference. It's still slow as can be with Firefox and even Chrome Lite — although the latter is a good deal faster.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
That'd be me.
Oh I had no idea that was you and that was the country while skimming the other thread. You must be living through extraordinary times. I hope you and everyone you know are safe.

Just a few days ago I edited and published some old writing from my 2003 trip there because it seems relevant again in the wake of the coup. If anyone is interested, DM me and I can send you the link.

Hi Lexicos
Might be just your area (Melbourne), or your system.
Mine is working normally here with my usual forum access and speed (here in Sydney ).

good luck with your issue.

Great! Thanks for your reports on connectivity fellow pilgrims.
Mine seems to be working a little faster and better since my original post.
Many thanks.

I am in Western Australia and all is fine here with me.....access to the forum is very good....no hiccoughs and everything is nice and fast. Hopefully, you will sort through what is going wrong for you and be back 'up and running again' as soon as possible. Cheers.
 
Thanks for your reply Susan. Not sure why or how but all is back to normal and now working just fine. We’re in business!
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I’m in Melbourne with nbn and zero issues for me accessing the Forum ...
 
I haven’t noticed any problems with access, but I haven’t been active in posting lately so let’s see how long it takes for this comment to appear.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Had some connection difficulties from France to Oz yesterday, so there may be some current networking problems between Europe and Down Under.

That does not assist in situations where intermediary route servers connecting your computer with your ISP and into the global interwebs might malfunction.
