@AfricanTech @Number Six likely related to the OpenServe maintenance posted earlier. It's running in CPT between 17h00 and 18h00

@CoolEscalator Net died and then came back after about 2 minutes. Assuming part of the OS maintenance, however since coming back Twitch fails to load with the following error:

PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Not sure what other sites might be affected as YouTube and MyBB load fine

It's failing to load on both Firefox and Chrome for me after the net went down and came back up

Just as a note the Openserve maintenance was the NNI upgrade, Openserve doesnt give us an option to do this at our discretion so 5PM was our allocated slot.
