Stellaris wiki not working, at all

[nathan67003]

The Stellaris wiki at stellaris.paradoxwikis.com isn't working. The main page loads - sometimes just text, images and links without even html on a white background, sometimes normally. But if I try to do anything other than stand there, I get - after waiting a while - either error 503 or error 502, usually alternating between the two on every refresh. I tried in a private window, no dice. Whatever's happening isn't on my end. It was working fine a few hours ago on the same PC, too.

Here's the 503 I get:

(the numbers apart from the 54113 change sometimes)

Sometimes, it's:

(cache ID also changes here)

The 502:

Works fine here, under Windows and MacOS.

What DNS are you using? Try Google

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Seems like it comes and goes atm, but how do I even check that?
Nvm, found it. I've added the aforementioned addresses to the DNS server list, in first, but it hasn't changed anything. I don't have any problems I've been able to identify with any other website(s), either, including these very forums.

Aaaand the page I wanted to load just loaded after a good 10 minutes of refreshing and opening in new tabs. Something is decidedly weird here.

Few hours later: Aaaand it's not working anymore again.

I'm having the exact same issue as @nathan67003, since yesterday or the day before when I started playing Stellaris again (and thus am referencing the Wiki now of course). Extrmely slow loading, as well as constant 502 and 503 errors.

I have no other issues or sluggishness anywhere else, that I have been able to identify.

I am having these exact issues too. Some pages load better then others. For example the main page works but the megastructures page does not at all.

 

[Tase]

Same issue, 502 errors, or the site takes very long to load

Using the Google DNS

Issue is present on all wikis, wikis dot paradoxplaza dot com

This is an issue Paradox needs to be aware of and fix

As of 3.8 I cannot access the wiki am getting error message

Still unable to duplicate this.

If you have access to a VPN, does that get past the problem for you? OR if you are using a VPN already, does unloading that get past the problem?

I can't access any paradox wiki either, but some 3 months ago it worked just fine. What was done to the wikis website in the past 2-3 months? Was the HTTP protocol of the website changed?

The error I get:

Error 426 Unknown Error​

No VPN here.

* - "details" change over time

This is weird because we have reports in the main forum here that folks WITH VPNs cannot get into the wikis! They disconnect the VPN and can get in okay.

can't access wikis paradoxplaza

i can't access wikis paradoxplaza because it won't allow use of VPN how i am suppose to access it with out VPN when its blocked in my country !?

I have no way to find that out I'm afraid! Maybe post your experience in that thread above.

Weird is that by the time you wrote this post there were already 4 people saying they get the same error without VPN in the thread you linked.
But I guess I'll leave my mark in that thread too.

Also, I can't even reply to your comment without removing the link to the thread, because of anti-spam measurements. Great design, ngl.

I'm having the same issue. I haven't been able to access any of the paradox wiki sites since at least early April 2023. I haven't made any changes to anything on my end, and I do not use a VPN.

I'm in the US, using a local ISP. I'm not having problems with any other sites.

The error message I receive is (the "Details: cache-" section changes every time):

Error 426 Unknown Error​

Unknown Error

Error 54113​

Details: cache-lga21943-LGA 1684142454 4202502620

This situation has been forwarded to the external organisation that looks after our websites.

Hello all,

Error 42x is the error given to several blocked datacenters. It mostly occurs when using certain VPN providers or if for some odd reason you've been routed through them.

The issue is currently under review. We'll get to with an answer soon.


Regards,
SolSys

Hi all,

Could everyone experiencing access issue please PM me the following details:
1. Service provider name -- ISP and/or VPN if you use one.
2. The IP that was/is assigned to you by those service providers.


Thanks,
SolSys

I'm unable to find the PM feature but I can confirm it gives the 246 error on a wide range of tried Nord VPN servers. Works fine when not using it.

Yay! Paradox Wikis now work for me.
