Ahoy me hearties. Does anyone know if PTP has moved to another address, or is it just down? Their cloudflare has been timing out for days/weeks now.

What I heard, their admin is having a summer vacation and is traveling somewhere. It will be back up eventually when they come back.

Wasn't their SSL tracker down for more than a year while they were on vacation last time? Shouldn't someone else have the keys at this point? I feel like PTP has said "we have measures in place to make sure this doesn't happen again" at least 3 times now.

I think it's quite hard to find people maintaining sites like this nowadays. There's always some risks, the tech stack might not be the greatest, the servers might have hacks here and there. It's a bit of a problem with other sites too, RED was having some trouble last Christmas for example...

Thanks! Where do you find this kind of information?

This was from RED forums, which has a long thread about PTP.

This site is a little useful to check on things. It doesn't give a lot of explanation, but hey... it's something.
