502 bad gateway

[WhiteSun777]

I access this site mostly via my shitty Windows PC with the Edge browser, but on occasion I would like access it via my iPhone with the Safari browser. To access the site via Windows Edge, I need to use the HTTP not secure connection. I don't understand why that is, but I have lived with it. To keep Edge from automatically doing a redirect to HTTPS, I did recently need to turn off this Edge browser security setting: "Automatically switch to more secure connections with Automatic HTTPS". For security, I would prefer not to do this so If someone knows of a better solution let me know.

As for my iPhone safari browser, it looks like one of Apple's recent updates started triggering the 502 Bad Gateway issue. It now appears to me that Safari is redirecting all HTTP connections to HTTPs. Anyone know of a setting to turn this feature off on Safari?

Just curious also, does anyone access this site via an HTTPS connection and with what browser? Thanks.

For PC Firefox is the way to go for now, no settings to change, just manually remove the s for HTTP.

I'm not 100% sure on the iPhone but I suspect it's similar to iPad. Safari doesn't work for me but Chrome works fine without https.

And agreed, you wouldn't want to login without https. I'm definitely planning on changing my password when https is working again.

Had trouble seeing the site via DuckDuckGo, edge, and even chrome. Switched over to Firefox and I now see the site and actually logged in for the first time in about a week.

When I enter my username and password on my phone and hit Log In, my password disappears and I can't get in.

Extreme thanks! This worked for me as well.

This also worked on my Samsung phone using Firefox.

I found the same thing works for me also. I use Firefox to load the main page, then I'm able to load my bookmarks fine.

I know the site has problems with attacks a while ago, and they started using cloudfare or something similar to fix it. Hopefully they find a similar solution soon. Because I'd bet most people aren't troubleshooting deep enough to find solutions like the Firefox workaround.

I'm using Firefox on a PC and I found a solution that works for me. Just update your bookmark for this site from www.usasexguide.nl to http://www.usasexguide.nl.

Thank you very much! I concur this method works in Firefox for PC if you manually switch to http. I suspect something wonky with the SSL certificate.

DuckDuckGo WAS working on the PC yesterday but that stopped today.

Chrome still works on iPad. Not sure on iPhone.

As a side note since everything is going via http and not https, nothing is secured. I suggest changing your password when the admin fixes the server side issue.

Did some digging. A simple AI summarizes what's going on.

Tl; dr. It's not you, it's them.

A **502 Bad Gateway error** occurs when a server acting as a gateway or proxy receives an invalid response from an upstream server it needed to access while trying to fulfill your request. In simpler terms, this means there's a communication breakdown between servers on the internet, usually not because of a problem with your computer or connection, but with the website or its hosting infrastructure.

Common Causes of 502 Bad Gateway Errors:

- Server Overload: The web server may become overwhelmed with too many requests or run out of resources like memory, which is common during spikes in traffic or as a result of a DDoS attack.

- Network Issues: Connectivity problems between servers or on the broader internet can disrupt server communication, causing invalid or incomplete responses.

- Server Misconfiguration or Bugs: Incorrect server settings, outdated software, or programming errors can prevent servers from understanding each other's responses.

- DNS Problems: If recent DNS changes have not fully propagated or DNS settings are misconfigured, servers may not be able to reach each other, leading to the error.

- Firewall or Security Blocks: Overly strict or misconfigured security tools, such as firewalls, may mistakenly block legitimate requests or responses.

- Browser or Cache Issues: Sometimes, outdated or corrupted files in your browser cache or cookies can interfere with receiving valid responses (although this is less common).

Summary.

A 502 error is a server-side error signaling that something went wrong when two or more online servers tried to communicate. The underlying cause is often temporary and usually resolved by the website's administrators or hosting provider, not by the end user.

Same problem here on pc can't login on edge, or duck duck now. Only one I can get on is chrome. Have tried to change to the http on duck duck but it doesn't seem to want to change it for some reason.

As a lot of us are having problems logging in, you would think that someone from admin would give us members a post on what the problem is with the site.

The only way I can access this site is by using a VPN and Brave with Tor, and even then it hit or miss.

Alright so I did some more testing.

For PC, Chrome, Edge, Firefox does NOT work. DuckDuckGo works.

For iPad, DuckDuckGo and Safari does NOT work. Chrome works.

As a side note, I saw the gateway error briefly (initially) when using DuckDuckGo on the PC, somehow that went away and never seen it again (knock on wood)

Just tried DuckDuckGo on my iphone and no luck. PC at work on Chrome works.

Duck Duck Go quit working for me today.
