Can I downgrade electrum for it to connect. I've completely emptied my wallet so there's no risk of a phishing attack doing anything..

It's good to hear you're trying to find a solution.

Bitmaxz, is cloudflare capable of that? I though since clients connect to electrum in a manner that is similar to a bot then therell be a load of issues... If anyone has a private electrum node set up and fancies giving someone a hand the let me know. (also why don't we just try dosing that bad electrum server)....

All Electrum clients were forced to upgrade recently due to phishing vulnerabilities so downgrading won't help.

I've found that Electrum does connect but you have to be patient and wait a few minutes.  It's annoying because it used to connect instantly but not a show-stopper.

Cloudflare probably won't help in this situation.
