Recent/Current downtime explanation
Recently MineVast’s backend IPs have been receiving large scaled DDoS attacks which our hosting provider was not able to mitigate. In result of this, we have switched to a separate entity for DDoS protection, however that doesn’t stop the current attacks. We have already moved the proxy and hub server to a separate IP/box, but Creative, the website, and Skywars still remain on the vulnerable box. These will be moved to a different machine today.
We’ve updated our IP’s and name servers twice now, so if you cannot connect to mc.minevast.com, please try flushing your DNS.

If you’re currently experiencing random disconnects, we are actively trying to solve this problem as well, as it may have to do with OVH’s vac system interfering with the new DDoS protection we are under now.
We are sorry for the constant downtime MineVast has had over the past week, although this can only make us a stronger and more secure network. We will be releasing Creative 3.0 hopefully this weekend, a long with some new surprise updates shortly after.
