502 bad gateway

[WhiteSun777]

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- Server Misconfiguration or Bugs: Incorrect server settings, outdated software, or programming errors can prevent servers from understanding each other's responses.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

Had same problems today,502 bad gateway, got it on my edge browser that I use and used the google as well same happened, Went to change to duck duck managed to log in ok.

I was able to get on the site finally through chrome on my phone but couldn't login on my PC and macbook tried several browsers. This fix actually works. Thank you.

[Lotsoffun201]

Thank you very much for this fix. I had the same since yesterday, Chrome, Edge, Firefox are all broken. I thought it was my network but same when I tried another computer / different network.

Works fine on iPad Chrome. DuckDuckGo is the way to GO for now.

This happens whenever the site loads using "https: instead of "http: If you change the URL back to using "http: voila the site loads again. It seems like this is happening automatically on Apple browsers.

[Lotsoffun201]

It works on google chrome on my office computer (I have my own business so don't worry) but not on my Iphone on Safari.

Since I am on computers all day long, I don't keep one in my home.

Keep getting the noted 502 bad gateway trying to log in on several browsers past 2 days but finally got in on duck duck go but not convenient.

Me too, tried another phone that is also mine from same company and got in??

Inconvenient, yeah. But beats the option of not having this information!

Don't know what you got till you lose it.
