Alex Mollen 1081702 Posted November 2, 2019 at 11:47 PM Posted November 2, 2019 at 11:47 PM Starting earlier this week, when I fire up VATSpy, it starts up fine, displays the world map, but data is never loaded. After about 15 seconds I get the message "Unable to connect to remote server". I did not (consciously) change anything. It happens on 2 different computers that I use. It tried to download from us.data.vatsum.net and eu.data.vatsim.net according to the status bar. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled VATSpy with no luck. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bnj2hj17cy25lg7/Screenshot%202%20Nov%202019.JPG?dl=0 Curiously, another software I use, the freeware LittleNavMap, stopped listing VATSim signins at the same time (it lists both pilots and centers in table format). Even more curiously, other VATSim-related software works fine: vPilot, vatstats. So it is not a general connection problem but apparently something specific to VATSpy and LittleNavMap. Any thoughts?

I think the root cause of my problems is that I am not connecting to these sites. - Turning off Windows Defender Firewall doesn't make a difference. I don't see VATsim related sites in my Firewall rules. - Turning off my Avast antivirus doesn't make a difference - Turning my router off and back on doesn't make a difference I'm starting to think that my ISP is somehow blocking these sites, getting a little desperate.
