Hi Steve and Chris.

Thanks a lot for you work.
28 hours for VPN setup is too much time.
If in future you will need assistance from qualified linux system administrator, you can ask me ;)

To be fair, it wasn't just a simple VPN. My challenge was in networking - getting the networking config right for a single VPN server that accepts data from four different clients with four different subnets and distributes data to four external IP addresses. Also, I had to make sure that our actual IP addresses are blocked from external access and completely untraceable and that all this is resilient to system restarts and internet outages.

I have enough of a hosting services background to appreciate the challenge you describe!

What's left to do before mining can resume?

Thanks for all the effort you guys are putting in to bring the service back and make it more resilient.

Chris has gotten everything back online.

People who mine during the first hour or so are going to earn a fortune, perhaps with scrypt profitability as high as a dollar, because the coin networks are all at a low difficulty from not having been mined for so long.

Feel free to report any issues. Thanks for your patience! Chris will be working with Comcast for a solution that will cut 15ms off the latencies in the future.

I can't get to the main prohashing.com site. Still shows as server unavailable.

But when I use one of those sites that double checks availability, it says the site is live:

http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/prohashing.com

Maybe there's a routing problem where the site is working for some locations but not others?

I can see the main site now.

Looks like there's a tweet that I didn't see rcommending purging the DNS cache. I didn't see that before.

Maybe my problem earlier was a stale DNS entry?

Anyway, looks like you guys are back. Good work! I know that this stuff is hard.
