Seems to have gone dead. Is it just me ? Don't think so. Does this happen often ? Or is it a housekeeping thing ? DDOS ?
Any info appreciated.

Happens every so often but is usually back up relatively quickly. I believe it is due to DDOS (I think 50btc is being affected too).

The mining server is currently hosted at Hetzner. For a while they had 40% packetloss on parts of their network. Not sure if it was a bad router or another customer being DDoSed.

They seemed to have fixed the issue now though. 0% packetloss.

Update: Hetzner confirms it was a DDoS against another customer on the same subnet.
