ACT unavailable/unreachable in Canada

Attempting to use ACT or access the website results in a System error exception and 404 respectively. VPN-ing into a US based location resolves the issue.

  • Nevermind found out it's a specific ISP, yay corporations!
  • In general this just seems like a DNS issue.  You could change your DNS to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 or 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1 and probably avoid this issue.  HTTP/404 is not a reachability error, it means that the server was contacted and the server said it was a page that did not exist.
