Main page is empty and not a single page is opening.
All others give a 404.

It would have been nice if avast announced that they where gonna make changes/perform maintenance on it.

Re: blog.avast.com offline - misconfiguration?
« Reply #2 on: November 29, 2015, 10:03:27 PM »
Also get an empty page: redirect loop detected (max_redirect = 0)
See: http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=https://blog.avast.com
So it could be Akamai at the culprit of this, not Avast!
For url ip: https://2.17.177.227/ I get a no private connection and Invalid URL

The requested URL "/", is invalid.
Reference #9.4cdedd58.1448830746.185792b5

Misconfiguration is here: Check Google Apps Settings
FAIL: Found invalid MX records, the following mail servers should be excluded from your DNS configuration:
mx1.avast.com.
mx2.avast.com.
Google Apps Support: MX Records should be properly set!

you are late, 5 days late   https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=179793.msg1272199#msg1272199

I can't see how this is 5 days late, since the article is only from the 3rd Dec 2015 - It appears Bob isn't responding to the blog being down - but this new blog entry/article. I think more wrong topic than late.

The screenshot was only to show that I'm not having any problems getting to the site. :)
