For those who need proxies, http://proxy-youtube.net and http://webproxy.com worked the best for me. Also, using cellular data works if you can afford that or have an unlimited plan. Try using your phone or tethering your phone's 3G/LTE to your computer.

I get it EVERY time I try and click on a blog, and some times when I'm switching to the Base, Lounge, celebrity sections on the forum

[♚ PRiNCE HiGH ♚]

I got 522'd a few days ago just as I entered the blogs section and it lasted for IDK about an hour

That was the last time i encountered that error (thankfully)

Edit: I had only 1 tab opened at that time

[Lippy]

Oh I get these a lot, usually after the maintainance time.

[Stark]

3 days with the error now

[Remixed]

Desktop, loading a page in Stand Your Ground

[TinkerbellClap]

I don't think if it changes anything, but I don't get the error after visiting the blogs.

Today, I got the error for 3-4 seconds only. I had 3 ATRL tabs opening. 2 of them loaded, one of them gave me the offline error but directly loaded after I refreshed it. I was in the lounge section.

Just stay out of blogs and it won't happen

I only get it when going to the blog section.

Same here, especially when I want to post something in a blog.

[Killua.]

I can't use Atrl at all unless I use a proxy.

Just got a 522 editing my friend's list by deleting people who deleted me lolol

[C/H/A/N/E/L]

When I first started getting them, it was after I'd been sending wall messages to people.

I also got one right after accepting a friend request.

Those were the only times (about, like, 6 in total there) that I got it and something seemed to cause it; the other half a dozen times it's happened it's been out of nowhere.

Thanks God for the proxy. The 522 comes out of nowhere

522 does not come out of nowhere it comes from the server. CloudFlare is pulling and the server is not responding fast enough. Errors that start with a 5 are server based errors. My guess is it's due to database calls and plugins on the server. They should have a monitor up to profile the activity across each server plugin.

CF is a great CDN but it's only as good as the server it is pulling from. If the server is in a shared environment it will likely have issues.

Is this web server on it's own private box and the database on it's own private box or is the web server and database for this site on the same box?

Is their a mixed mode going on where the Web server is a private box but the database is in a shared host somewhere?

Are the IP's for CloudFlare white-listed and not being throttled? If you are in a shared environment but have somehow have a level of management you need to make sure the CF IP's are not being throttled.

Personally I think AWS would be a good solution for this site, they do elastic hosting and CDN services with CloudFront. I find their pricing a reasonable, I think they will get better in the future as more services like Azure start taking off.

In some cases ad-blockers have been known also to cause this error with CloudFlare.

One other thing that can be done to relieve some stress from the web server is to toss all the sites images and scripts on to a CDN like Amazon S3 and let them serve them up.

I got 522'd earlier as I tried to access this thread

Also, earlier in the day I got its cousin, error 524. I guess there's more to come

[Komet blu]

For me, it happens only in blogs. I can sometimes read couple of them, continue to browse the rest of ATRL and then randomly get it, or get it immediately after entering just one blog.

Lemme try entering again, and get back to yall.
eta: Was in blogs, no error this time.

524 is when you make the handshake with the server, which gets you past the default 15 second timeout and then you enter another period where you have 90 seconds. Basically you got a response from the server then nothing after that.

The time that it happened to me was when I clicked on a Blog (being in the Blogs section, not the Lounge).

That is true. It lasted only like two minutes. The 522 can kick you out for hours at a time.

[GypsyLife]

I have the 522 error now for 52 hours and counting.
I was not in blogs Friday, cause of what was said in HQ and had 1 tab open. When I pressed f5 to refresh I got the 522 message and have been on proxies every since.
Also, when I chose a country and I pick NL for example I cannot use it, again gives me 522, I have to pick a US server to get connection. Do people in Europe have more issues with that then the US members?

[Ascension]

I just started having (serious) issues with this today. They have been popping up at random for a couple of weeks, but usually the site comes back immediately when I click "retry for live version." Today it will pop up and I can't access for a long while.
