So while using CryptoStorm VPN I noticed that I would randomly disconnect anywhere from 5-30 minutes from XMPP servers including but not limited to XMPP.is. I have tested this with several other services and it happens on all of them while using CryptoStorm. In my case this has happened on their German, Iceland and US nodes. I am going to tell CryptoStorm about this, and from what I have noticed it only affects XMPP connections. Strange isn’t it?

So if you’re using CryptoStorm and you disconnect a lot, it is not our fault 🙂

Edit: CryptoStorm is aware of the issue and it has been ongoing.

@cryptoworld_is …to open a forum thread explaining how folks can help pin down exact params where it's observed – so we can fix it. Stat.

So if you were connected about 10-12 hours ago there was a problem with the dedicated server and it went down. According to i3D, the server shut itself off because of overheating in the rack. This is the response I received from them just now. Sorry about that, but apparently it shouldn’t be happening again.

An announcement feature has been added to the Prosody config, you might have gotten a message yesterday saying the server will be rebooted (that was it). From now on when I’m going to reboot the server or there is an important announcement to make I will send it through there to notify all online users.
