Grimtools down? Or Cloudflare acting up?

[Da Atte]

Can't access the site. It just loops endlessly on the Cloudflare's DDOS protection screen. Is it just me or does this happen to others?

I live in Europe, if that helps at all.

I can access the site without issue, even with a VPN on (in the US). Site loads quickly and works as expected. Using Nord, set within my own country. If you're on a VPN,, maybe try pausing the VPN or changing server location.

Could be a number of things. Not seeing any widespread issues reported with Cloudflare on Downdetector, or on Cloudflare's Twitter feed. You could always go to Cloudflare's Twitter or Facebook page and submit an inquiry- it could be a local or regional issue.

No problems for me here in Europe accessing it.

FIXED

EDIT: Okay for some reason it was my anti virus software. Just curious, what antivirus are you using?

I have the Bitdefender Free version which has worked fine but for some reason now decided to block Grimtools.

Anyways, thanks for help. For some reason asking for any kind of advice usually gives me new ideas. And more often that not it's the anti virus that's causing problems. Always with different sites and different software...

I'm a poor student lol so no VPN here. So it can't be that issue.

Checked the Cloudflare status[www.cloudflarestatus.com] site and all of the closest servers that I could potentially be connected to are up and operational.

And yeah it's not the servers that are messing up. I can see that now. For some reason I just now realized after reading your comment that I should try and load up the site on my phone and lo and behold it works on my phone.

Might have to check if it's my anti virus software or what since I've tried 3 different browsers on my PC (Opera, Chrome and Internet Explorer). It's something with my PC or the software that's for sure.

I'm gonna try few things and see if they work.

Both Microsoft Edge and Firefox work for me.

Yeah got it working. It was my antivirus software. Seems like different antivirus softwares like to block different sites and services. For some reason it decided to block Grimtools now. It has been working perfectly for a few years but now it didn't for some reason.

[IFIYGD]

Yeah, I tried it on Chrome Incognito and DuckDuckGo.
Odd that your AV blocked the site as potentially unsafe, but it happens. AV is (rightly) a bit overprotective these days.

Chuckling a bit at: >"I'm a poor student lol so no VPN here. So it can't be that issue.".
Lots of decent free VPNs out there, and some AV software comes with one built in (usually paid AV SW, though.)

Yeah, sometimes an update will cause your anti-virus to suddenly decide it doesn't like GT or the game.
