Hello team,
I'm connecting from Dunedin, New Zealand to the APAG server using unicast because multicast currently doesn't work across the Tasman Sea. (Multicast works fine within NZ.)
I can connect using the APAG bridge or Auckland bridge, but AccessGrid.org bridge gives the message: "Connection to bridge AccessGrid.org failed. Please use a different bridge."
Yesterday and on Monday I tested with the APAG, AccessGrid.org and Auckland bridges and all worked well.
A purge and save of the bridge cache shows Auckland, APAG and AccessGrid.org all less than 0.2s ping and all enabled.
Any thoughts on why AccessGrid.org bridge isn't working today?
(The reason for this checking is that I'm hoping to connect with TPAC at 1pm NZ time today (11am Tasmanian time) for a presentation from there to a few NZ venues. Currently and for the last few weeks I can see and hear them, but they can't see or hear me. Their IT people were investigating last night to see if there had been firewall changes etc at their site but I've heard nothing further. Chat does work to TPAC, so we may have to do the presentation blind from their perspective and use chat for any questions. Stefan W Vogel ***@gmail.com<mailto:***@gmail.com> is my contact at TPAC if anyone has any bright ideas of relevance.)
