I was unable to connect to the forums and multiplayer for two days at my home's internet connection, I've noticed the forums worked at my school connection, and I tried all this afternoon to get it to work. I've suspected it was a DDOS attack or my ISP have banned the site, since I was able to connect to forums via hidemyass.com
It suddenly started working a few minutes ago, what do you think my problem is? and how can I prevent such things in the future (also im on macbook)

Proxies and stuff maybe, if you have any.

I used to have a mac and sometimes you just need to restart it. Needs a refresh. Same with the phones.

The connection just glitches sometimes.
