Ah, that's not so bad. I peeked and if it comes to it, I can change my DNS info. I'm comfortable rooting around in Firefox's config stuff and other odd computer-y things, but I haven't had to mess with much system stuff beyond the usual cookie/cache clearing and downloading drivers.Best wait for DH, but for lurkers... if you go to "Apple > System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced > DNS" you can add/change the DNS your system uses, but there might be something to do to flush the cache too.
In the interest of learning something new, why would changing my DNS do anything if only one website is giving me issues? If I change it to that 1.1.1.1 will it show that going forward or will it go back to what's there now once i start surfing the web? (I'm curious and DH isn't here to ask about this yet)
Yeah, I was in around lunch time on Saturday and didn't have an issue. Since it's the only site giving me issues, I'm thinking it's them. Like you, I'm annoyed but not worried.I was experiencing various troubles with Vanguard's site last night. Chrome browser, Win8 laptop, Sparklight (formerly Cable One) DNS server. No problems with other sites, so I think it's more Vanguard-related than DNS-related. Also, usually no problem with Vanguard's site; it's just been in the last day or two.
ETA: Still having trouble now. Can log in but can't see my accounts. Annoyed but not worried.
Miserably slow, can't even get login screen.
Bottom of screen says looking up c1a.vgscontent..... Maybe computergurus have a clue what that means.
Any other wedsite loads speedily.
Will try again tomorrow.
Edit add: Rebooted router, flushed DNS .... still NFG

I was also wondering if it was regional, but I'm south of you in a different time zone.
Maybe we'll all wake up tomorrow and all will be well.
