So for those of you who are interested in router problems I've been having issues going onto BL over the past few months. Every time I tried to get it would give me either 404s or Server is busy and not even DarkPulse could help me with this issue. I even tried getting completely new equipment with both a new modem and router but that didn't even work.
I eventually found out that by using a proxy filter like Filterbypass I could get around it to some extent but it tended to log me out every 3-4 page changes, I couldn't edit posts, and my posts would ignore my enter keys causing them to all appear in giant chunks which was pretty bad especially in regards to when I wanted to write my next fanfic piece.
And then out of the blue just a few days ago it hit me, the solution. Apparently my router was keeping its MAC address despite all the restarts and even the new equipment, so how did I fix it?
The answer was to clone the MAC address, the instant I did that the problems were all gone, it was as if they were never there.
In short my lesson from this is if clearing the cache doesn't work, then clone the MAC.
