Yesterday night I’ve discovered that users from one of our domains can no longer establish VPN connections. A mysterious situation indeed — just two days ago everything was working fine, I’ve been doing absolutely nothing critical on either of the VPN server or the domain controller, and yet any connection attempt results in VPN error 691 with a very promising text “Access denied because username and/or password is invalid on the domain.”

Is Rogers Inc. blocking YouTube or is it me glitching? I am trying to open YouTube website from my home workstation which is hooked up to the internet via Rogers Canada ISP. The browser waits indefinitely to open the web page. However, accessing the website directly by IP address opens it instantly. Rogers is known for past attempts of blocking and shaping traffic to various popular resources (BitTorrent, podcasts). The current situation is also very suspicious.
