WordPress iOS app make domain unreachable for 3 hours
-
Hi,
I will do my best to be as clear as possible.
I have 3 unrelated domains, currently at the same domain provider (OVH):
– 2 personal domains that I bought years ago. One has a 10M web space, the other redirects to the 1st one.
– 1 personal domain I bought a few weeks ago. It has a 1G web space. This is the one I installed WordPress on, to create a photo blog.I installed WordPress and didn’t set up anything except database access.
I have a broadband cable internet connection accessible via wifi. I also have a 4G connection on my smartphone.
It is an iPhone and I installed the WordPress app on it.Here’s the problem:
When I’m over my local wifi connection, on the app, when I do something related to Media (upload, refresh the list, trying to delete some), I get an error and lose access to ANY of my 3 domains (2 of which aren’t related to my blog). I also cannot access some pages from my domain provider, like forum.ovh.com.
This lasts for 3 hours, and then I have access to them again, like before.When I do the exact same thing over my 4G connection, I have no problem at all.
When I do the exact same thing over wifi through the admin web interface of my blog (so not the app), no problem either.I tried to look at the server-side logs but haven’t noticed anything remarkable, I’ll have a better look later though.
This makes me think that there is a problem between the app and my broadband router. Something the app sends or does, and that the router doesn’t like so it bans a whole range of IPs or an access node to these IPs, but I have not found what it is.
It seems that my router has no enabled integrated firewall.
I also tried to look the matter up on Google, but haven’t found anything yet.Are you aware of this kind of problem? Would you have any suggestion about where or what I should look for?
I wanted to install WordPress to avoid getting too technical and just focus on publishing photos, seems like that will not happen anytime soon…Regards
