Error Access Wiki from work

Hello Wuggers

Just a question at times i can access wiki page from work but lately been struggling to login to it from work. I prompted for a password recovery(it was sent) then then trying to change my password page seems to go down. If i access the wiki from wug network works 100 percent. But from work network only works when it wants to work. Reason im trying to access wiki is i need to delete wiki page i created for network nodes in my areas.

I want to delete this the entire page:
https://wiki.ctwug.za.net/wiki/Blackheath

And also remove hyperlink created on first contacts that sends you to that page.
And want to create a new page with latest updates. But im unable to do that from work network.

Please see image below: Work network vs Wug network: IT WORKS NOW AND THEN BUT NOT ALWAYS

Hi LeeDeane

Who is your ISP and how is your latency to wiki.ctwug.za.net?
The reason for my question is the site gets hosted/routed via Maidenhead, England, United Kingdom.
So if you ISP has low international bandwidth or high contention ratio you will have bad experienced.

I did a simple ping test to the site and I get a 120ms response.

PS. You supposed to do work at work not Wug stuff at work. :stuck_out_tongue:

Running fiber at work. Average 164ms to wiki page

I have fail2ban protection on most logins (e.g. wind, email, pop etc.) to avoid weak password issues (as we had passwords being compromised on email previously).

I think I have the same login protection on the wiki. If you login (correctly or incorrectly) more than 6 times in 10 minutes to the wiki page it will block you for an hour.

This is probably what happened as you seem to be changing passwords etc. What often happens your browser remembers the wrong password which means you repeat login a couple of times without noticing.
