This Company and their software

This speculation is exactly why we need some other way to get in touch

That's what I was thinking... if redfox.bz is gone for good (for example), if staff brings it back on a new domain (again for example), how would anyone know about it? Anyone could make a site pretending to be them and claim "we're back".

[AllNight]

Except that's not RedFox1 - whatever he claims to be. No-Passenger9208 is the one making that assumption, no idea what they base it on.

I don't know for sure if that's him or not, but it did not seem deceptive to me, as he never said he was Redfox1, and the other poster seemed to know that it was and just thanked him for the post.

Redfox.bz's last known IP is 45.93.138.193, which appears to be located in Lithuania (Hostinger):

This could be just for their content delivery network, as I have no idea what other IP's were being used, or what other servers were involved.

That's back when it actually worked.

Would you believe they were down AGAIN for three days starting last Friday? They've been down at least three times for several minutes each today AFTER a fix that took those three days!

I...just...no, that's going TOO far. What, does the chewing gum and duct tape keep coming loose? And naturally they charge the earth for it every month!

I used to like fab until they abandoned us I actually uninstalled for now because it’s to heartbreaking what it’s become.

And they were willing to wait for your hand-cranked internet to finally deliver your responses? ;D

Thank God for Streamfab

This speculation is exactly why we need some other way to get in touch. I think this will be resolved shortly but still it looks like the dns got screwed somehow and that’s what’s going on. Usually the authorities post something on the site if it gets taken over or down.

,BZ is Belize, a Central American country which I believe was formerly called British Honduras. When I checked earlier, the IP address listed for redfox.bz was 45.93.138.193.

When I checked whois.tucows.com, their registrar, it lists the address as Charletown, KN. KN is St. Kitts & Nevis, an independent country made up of two small islands in the Caribbean.

Right next to the Netherland Antilles, where RF1 is located. The IP addy may be in Vilnius, but you know that bunch could locate it on the moon, third pockmark over from Mare Crisium, if that served their purpose.

I got the same results. There is no longer an IP for the domain name. Or at least no DNS record.

That's not RedFox1, whatever he claims to be.

Yeah there’s no way that even if the servers were seized that they don’t have an offline copy of the work they have done. That would make zero sense on their end and it hasn’t even been down 24 hours.

[artsunlimited]

That's just due to browser storage / caching. If you try to go to their forum in a browser with cleared storage and cache (or a new browser install, you can check with a portable browser), you will get the same not found message as everything else, as their domain no longer resolves.

Given the amount of time everything has been down and no communication from anyone, this may not be just some maintenance issue, but some kind of takedown. Could be just the DNS, but it could also be that servers were seized. Even if no one was arrested, it would take some significant time and money to try to get the infrastructure back if the servers were seized. It's also possible that it could be some kind of exit scam thing, although that doesn't seem likely to me.

Given how long everything has been offline now, it's not looking good.

Well, the other thing is, this means no more updates for AnyDVD as well if everything really is gone.

Cyberspace is global. I once worked on a project with people from Spain and Mexico.
