"investor.vanguard.com"--anyone notice a glitch yesterday?
Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2012 6:43 am
Currently, "personal.vanguard.com" redirects to https://investor.vanguard.com/home/ . Did it always do this? Has anyone noticed? In particular, did Vanguard reconfigure something yesterday?
Yesterday morning I had no problem accessing Vanguard, but yesterday evening I encountered a strange glitch. On my Mac, which is my main machine, all attempts to access personal.vanguard.com redirected to investor.vanguard.com and then failed saying 'Safari can't open the page "https://investor.vanguard.com/home" because Safari can't find the server "investor.vanguard.com"'. Further exploration showed the same problem occurring with other browsers, Ping, etc, although isup.me reported "It's just you. http://investor.vanguard.com is up."
That is, it was a persistent problem that prevented all browsers and network software from resolving investor.vanguard.com while my Windows machine had no problems accessing it. I played around a bit trying to clear the DNS cache, with no luck; I rebooted the Mac and then had no problem.
Anyone else notice anything like this?
