Github problem?

When I'm away from my desktop I use a chromebook and pythonanywhere to learn python. Usually I commit and push changes to github from pythonanywhere with no problems, however today when I push to github I get this error.

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/Arkitan/learningpython.git/': Failed connect to github.com:3128; Connection refused

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong as it was working fine last week.

The same happens with BitBucket: why?

There were some problems with the proxy server that handles internet traffic for free accounts earlier, sorry about that. Should be fixed now.

The problem is still present.

Our proxy server had a nervous breakdown. It's feeling better now.

We are having this same problem right now on our git bash console.

git push origin front OR git push results in:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/sassafrass6/cs373-idb.git/': Failed connect to github.com:3128; Connection refused

In addition, curl https://github.com/ results in: curl: (7) Failed connect to github.com:3128; Connection refused

Any assistance would be greatly appreciate as our project deadline is at 10pm CDT August 7th. Btw, it's currently 2:58 CDT right now.

Hi there -- unfortunately the proxy that handles HTTP access for free accounts had crashed. Looks like someone had (probably inadvertently) DoSed it. We've restarted it and are trying to work out how to guard against this kind of problem.
