iOS App, Browser check screen

Is there a problem with the iOS app. It keeps asking me to log in and fails.

Thanks in advance.

There is no problem with the app but today FRF is on the receiving end of distributed denial of service attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack

We beleive this is because we have a review up naming a scammer. Autosedge Consignment.

We have a service in place to help keep the site online when this happens and it checks your IP address to make sure you are logging in from North America and not some overseas address (where most ddos attacks originate). The browser checking service has some problems with mobile devices and so you may be having trouble logging in. We are sorry for the inconvenience but it's unavoidable and with a little time this will blow over.

Good information.

Curiously, I am typing this message from the same device, just using Safari, instead of the app. That is why I suspected that the problem was unique to the app.

Thanks for the help.

The app is working again.

Thanks.

I’d like to thank the original responder. That person was helpful. If you wonder what helpful is, check that reply.

BTW, I use an iPad. It uses iOS too.

Mods, feel free to lock this, I suspect there will be no more useful replies.
