Hi,all,
I find recently I can't access Wordfast's official website.
Does the company still exist? If not, I'll feel very depressed.
After all, WF has been accompanying me for nearly ten years.
I think it's a very good tool for freelancers. It always works well.
In fact, it's my favourite CAT. I don't want to say goodbye to it.
Anyone knows what happened to it?
I'll be grateful to you for telling me.
Thanks.

| Website working without problems | Dec 20, 2024 |
Hi Rio,
this might be some problem on your part. It could be that your ISP is blocking traffic to this site. I just tried, and for me the site loads just fine. As a workaround you could try visiting this Website using a VPN connection (you might want to check, if the use of a VPN is legally permitted in your country).

Completely agree with XtS.
you should be able to access wordfast.com in any case.
For alternate options,
Here I paste the info I have in the video description on my channel.
Try these options and see which works:
1_ go to https://207.223.244.239/ and accept and proceed to all security warnings. This works in most cases. If it still doesn’t work:
2_Connect from a 4G connection (i.e. Wi-Fi tethering). If you don’t have access to 4G:
3_Go to a friend’s place, family member etc. that does not have the same ISP as you do (always be careful about sensitive information on public Wi-Fi). If that is not suitable for you, then:
4_Use a VPN
5_everything above as failed (you’re having a bad day…). Try this: please restart your computer (or alternatively, follow the steps at https://www.wikihow.com/Flush-DNS to flush the DNS cache on your computer). If possible, restart your router as well. You computer has a DNS cache (and your router may have one, too) and outdated details about wordfast.net in that cache can be causing the problem now.
6_This issue has nothing to do with wordfast. Some ISPs are not aware of the issue and need to be made aware of it. If you want to help us in trying to make ISPs improve this, please tell us what is your DNS server (two IP addresses). To find out, follow the instructions laid out at https://www.digitalcitizen.life/what-...
*you need to access wordfast.net for getting your license keys/versions for Wf Pro and Wf Classic. Wordfast.net is also where all our wiki pages are as well as other useful tools and information.

The OP must have already tried to use a VPN to open WordFast's website before he started the thread.

Hi, all,
This Monday morning I tried again to visit the Wordfast website and to my surprise, it is resumed!
I have no idea why this happened to my PC, but I must mention, up to now I've done nothing with my computer, none of its settings was changed, whether network or web browser. And I'm sure it has nothing to do with VPN or the like, as other websites can be viewed normally. Perhaps the answer lies with Wordfast itself, because I found the homepage is now equipped with a new... See more Hi, all,

And I'm sure it has nothing to do with VPN or the like, as other websites can be viewed normally. Perhaps the answer lies with Wordfast itself, because I found the homepage is now equipped with a new menu item "Chinese", which I'm certain was absent in the past. So I guess Wordfast had been testing its website shown to Chinese users in the past few days, and it forgot to leave a notice on the homepage to visitors from China. Whatever the truth, I'm glad to see that Wordfast still lives well and stands undefeated by AI. To me, it's not only a tool for freelancers, but also a symbol of human craft.
Thank you all, my friends. Happy new year~

Hi everyone,
I can’t access Wordfast.net either and I’ve no idea why I have this problem. I can access Wordfast.com though. It’s very strange! I’m going to describe my issues in another post.

Many thanks, Philippe. I did manage to access the site using this link: https://207.223.244.239/ and I shall try the other suggestions too.
However, this has not solved my problems with Word crashing and not having received a licence or a zip file etc. (as described in the my own post today). I’m not even sure what version of Wordfast I should be using now. Maybe 5.92 is no longer compatible with Mac and I need to use a different version?
As I mentioned, I have tried to contact Wordfast via the hotline several times by sending a support ticket and am still waiting for a reply. They replied to my initial query on 7 January, but their answer did not solve my problem.
