Google down or what's up?

[TofuMofu]

Hi guys

I'm not able to open any Google site (Google, Youtube, Gmail, Blogspot etc).

Is there a problem (I can't find any articles or complaints) or might there be something wrong with the routing from my ISP?

Webafrica btw.

Any other website works fine...

i can access Google but Twitter has been inaccessible since last night

Can't sign in to Google Plus or other Google-related services. I'm getting:

accounts.google.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for www.google.com

(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

When you get this type of problem it's probably related to DNS. Often just clearing the dns cache will solve it.

For windows users run ipconfig /flushdns from a command prompt.

What DNS server are you using?

On WA your trace to Google should be MUCH shorter.

I used to use IS and Google's DNS, but I changed it to Webafrica's as I thought it was DNS as well. Didn't fix the problem, but it did fix itself after a while.
