Connectivity Problems with PRPNet
I've been informed that there's a DDOS attack happening right now against another client in the same datacenter as where the PRPNet server is located. That's causing the connectivity problems with PRPNet.UPDATE: I have temporarily set up forwarding from the BOINC server to the PRPNet Server. You can therefore access the PRPNet ports by changing the prpclient.ini entries from prpnet.primegrid.com (or prpnet.mine.nu) to www.primegrid.com. However, if you have work in progress, you must also edit any work_xx.save files and point them to www.primegrid.com before restarting the client.This is a temporary solution, so if you make this change, you'll need to eventually change back to the regular address. The forwarding will be taken down once the DDoS attack is ended.UPDATE 2: The DDoS attack seems to be over (for now), so you should change your configuration to point back to prpnet.primegrid.com. I'll leave the port forwarding in place for a while, just in case.
