I see you are right, the tool works great but I wonder now why can’t I access the site or ftp it either? is there a fix besides cleaning the DNS and cache?

Well this is something really interesting. At times it gets really hard when we have to convince clients on such situations.

Hope that this really convinced your clients. This is an important check list to have, as we can stumble on such situation just anytime

They saw their site thru the proxy, didn’t call back, so I guess they’re satisfied.

That too. But we notice that most people do not believe in the green and red glowing buttons.

If it’s “page cannot be found” from their browser’s end, it must be down. One needs to do some more convincing and 99% of the time, The Cloak is the ultimate “oh, i see” in-your-face proof.

They might also want to try the "quick check" tool of SiteUptime.com or Alertra.com's check url tool.
