Hi,all,
I find recently I can't access Wordfast's official website.
Does the company still exist? If not, I'll feel very depressed.
After all, WF has been accompanying me for nearly ten years.
I think it's a very good tool for freelancers. It always works well.
In fact, it's my favourite CAT. I don't want to say goodbye to it.
Anyone knows what happened to it?
I'll be grateful to you for telling me.
Thanks.

Website working without problems Dec 20

Hi Rio,
this might be some problem on your part. It could be that your ISP is blocking traffic to this site. I just tried, and for me the site loads just fine. As a workaround you could try visiting this Website using a VPN connection (you might want to check, if the use of a VPN is legally permitted in your country).

Completely agree with XtS.
you should be able to access wordfast.com in any case.

For alternate options,
Here I paste the info I have in the video description on my channel.
Try these options and see which works:
1_ go to https://207.223.244.239/ and accept and proceed to all security warnings. This works in most cases. If it still doesn’t work:
2_Connect from a 4G connection (i.e. Wi-Fi tethering). If you don’t have access to 4G:
3_Go to a friend’s place, family member etc. that does not have the same ISP as you do (always be careful about sensitive information on public Wi-Fi). If that is not suitable for you, then:
4_Use a VPN
5_everything above as failed (you’re having a bad day…). Try this: please restart your computer (or alternatively, follow the steps at https://www.wikihow.com/Flush-DNS to flush the DNS cache on your computer). If possible, restart your router as well. You computer has a DNS cache (and your router may have one, too) and outdated details about wordfast.net in that cache can be causing the problem now.
6_This issue has nothing to do with wordfast. Some ISPs are not aware of the issue and need to be made aware of it. If you want to help us in trying to make ISPs improve this, please tell us what is your DNS server (two IP addresses). To find out, follow the instructions laid out at https://www.digitalcitizen.life/what-...
*you need to access wordfast.net for getting your license keys/versions for Wf Pro and Wf Classic. Wordfast.net is also where all our wiki pages are as well as other useful tools and information.

The OP must have already tried to use a VPN to open WordFast's website before he started the thread.
