Site was down due to non payment, I just went ahead and paid it for a month. I really hope the dev is ok.

Nice, thank you :D I believe the dev is ok but busy. His last forum post is from August 4th when he updated the beta key. The last MakeMKV version was also released only a month ago.

Website doesn't connect for me unless I make sure to put www. prefix, is it missing a CNAME record on the hosting site

be aware that, as this was posted, there is an outage at one of Amazon's cloud centers, which can affect DNS resolution for some users.

MakeMKV.com does not require "www", and the site is working at this time.

FYI, something changed because I can now only get to the site using www.makemkv.com. With out the www now issues a site time out.

Most likely it is because of an interaction with your firewall.

Code: Select all

# host www.makemkv.com
www.makemkv.com has address 104.21.49.241
www.makemkv.com has address 172.67.195.244
www.makemkv.com has IPv6 address 2606:4700:3033::6815:31f1
www.makemkv.com has IPv6 address 2606:4700:3035::ac43:c3f4
Using WWW resolves to the cloudflare system

Code: Select all

# host makemkv.com
makemkv.com has address 188.93.18.38
Without WWW, it resolves to direct to the server in Russia.

Code: Select all

# host forum.makemkv.com
forum.makemkv.com has address 172.67.195.244
forum.makemkv.com has address 104.21.49.241
forum.makemkv.com has IPv6 address 2606:4700:3035::ac43:c3f4
forum.makemkv.com has IPv6 address 2606:4700:3033::6815:31f1
Using FORUM for the host name, you're back to cloudflare.

Most likely, you have a geoblock on Russian IPs.

For me, all three host names work, because I don't geoblock Russia as a whole.

This was the case for me, sorry for suggesting otherwise!

Having the same russian error message when attempting to navigate to makemkv.com to download the latest release. I don't see an actual resolution to this this time last year, does anybody know what happened and how it got fixed?

Now it redirects to

http://www.makemkv.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi?f=5
Probable reasons for site blocking:

- ended the payment of hosting (not domain!). You need to replenish the balance. Payment for hosting is written off daily from the balance of your account.
- Your site is blocked for violating the rules of hosting. If you have broken the rules, go to your personal account and check the "Messages" section. There may be complaints.

Go to your hosting personal account

If you are a pilot of the site and do not know the reasons for blocking. Please refer to!.

Seems the hosting needs their payment....

I found out about makemkv for the first time today about playing bluray on Mac etc, was very excited, went to download the software and have been unable to do it as their website is unaccessible. Any thoughts/help?

Thanks

In light of recent world affairs, seems like hosting needs to be moved to another jurisdiction where payments to the hosting provider won't violate sanctions or otherwise support behavior that has no place in a civilized world.

At least set up some mirrors or something so everything doesn't break due to unforeseen events.

I see the same thing. Bills not paid. I'm a registered lifetime user and I believe I got the last version that was accessible. I went to just check to see if there were updates. One of the best and highly used programs ever used, I really hope this isn't the end.

Finally checked back after a year or two 100% ready to finally pull the trigger on a license only to find the website redirecting to Russian hosting provider. What's happening? The earlier trick with www over CF is not working anymore. Any updates from mike?
