Good day,

I am writing because through my WiFi connection I cannot import the oracle files, nor through my phone mobile data. but while opening it with a VPN, there is zero issues.

I am also having issues with sites like moxfield.

Anyone knows how to solve this? Thanks

Nvm apparently scryfall is having issues with Spain

cinder loom
#

did the issue get solved in the meantime then?

gentle root
#

Yep, it is an issue with IP and the country etc. You cannot really do anything from an oracle POV. The error makes it unable to enter or use any site related to scryfall, but it only happens sometimes and there is a specific way of solving

#

ISP issues

cinder loom
#

oracle does not use scryfall

gentle root
#

But the site where it hosts stuff dows

#

Does

#

Like the card import site

cinder loom
#

cockatrice download card art from scryfall directly

#

oracle downloads the card database, which is without images

gentle root
#

So maybe it was unrelated? But once I fixed the ISP issue, it worked again

cinder loom
#

cool

gentle root
#

Thanks for the help, btw! And sorry for the late reply

cinder loom
#

I asked you 6 days later, you're good

#

gentle root
#

Better late than ever, they say

#

yes but also, none of us stand to profit in any way whatsoever from this open source application, all of us are volunteers, as such there is 0 pressure to do anything, so anything you do is welcome

Been helping on a pokemon site for the hahas for years, so i pretty much know how it feels

cinder loom
#

I generally close threads once they are stale, you don't have to close it

gentle root
#

If anyone else has this issue, now you know it can prolly be due to the isp thingy

cinder loom
#

yep, that's why I asked, this is the only way we can figure out what is going on

gentle root
#

I found the answer in a moxfield FAQ

#

Want me to send it fully?

cinder loom
#

sure why not

▶️️ Looking to pick up that sweet Creator Badge that you've seen around the site?

Please head to our help page to see the requirements.

▶️️ Getting an error about a chunk, and now you can't properly access the site?

This typically happens when there is a momentary loss of connection, and then the file that was being loaded gets cached in a corrupted state.

First, please try clearing your cookies and cache in whichever browser that you're using to access Moxfield. That should remove the corrupted cache.

However, if you're in Spain or The Philippines, our assets server is being occasionally blocked by some ISPs there. Please follow the instructions on this page to edit your host file. You can skip ahead to the section that talks about editing your host file for whichever operating system that you're using. You'll need to add a line at the bottom that says:

172.67.206.103 assets.moxfield.net

Please be sure that there are no # symbols in front of that line.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to edit the host file of non-rooted mobile devices. There are apps that will forward DNS settings, similar to the above host file workaround, but we cannot vouge for the efficacy nor the safety of these apps. Please use them at your own risk.

If none of this resolved your issue, and you've already checked out our full FAQ page, please reach out using the appropriate category of the ticketing system in the #1379468853326643230 channel or email us at [email protected].

super helpful, thanks

gentle root
#

Npnp!!!

cinder loom
#

presumably the "asset server"they mean is scryfall and as we also use scryfall for images it'll affect cockatrice just the same

gentle root
#

That is mostly what i thought, but in a more basic way. No scryfall=page does not work=no cards

#

And knowing with VPN worked, it had to be the issue

#

But it is sometimes workinf and other times doesnt

cinder loom
#

on cockatrice it means that oracle will still work though

gentle root
#

It is pretty weird

cinder loom
#

unless the isps also block mtgjson

gentle root
cinder loom
#

that's annoying

gentle root
#

Couldnt access it unless in vpn

#

Yeah

cinder loom
#

sounds like they are blocking a large part of the internet for no reason then

gentle root
#

Well, the owner of La Liga is an asshole (the spanish football federation) and is blocking loads of sites so people cannot watch football illegally

#

It may be due to that, lol

#

Because previous to that, there were no issues

cinder loom
#

strange

gentle root
#

Also it is not always, sometimes works without issues
