I had weird problems the last time they did a reboot for an issue. I discovered later that one of my machines worked, and the other didn’t. The difference was that one was pointed at google DNS = 8.8.8.8, and the other was pointed at my provider’s DNS. Pointed to google DNS, and did “ipconfig /flushdns” to clear my DNS cache in windows, and I was able to get online after that. It seems today is similar. I was also getting “Socket Closed,” but my other machine was working. I tried to clear DNS cache, but that didn’t work. So, then I rebooted completely, and it all started working again. I’m thinking they have a failover system that updates a public DNS entry. If so, that can take a while to role out globally across DNS. Nothing you can do for that, but wait or use a different DNS server. ---
