   Well once upon a day I had to notice that I can not upload updates 
for my website (which is at http://www.elstel.org). I noticed that it 
was not possible to ping my webserver, to traceroute it or view web 
pages via http on it; i.e. the server seemed to be down.
   As a consequence I had contacted my web service provider urgently. At 
first I could hardly believe the response that everything was ok, in 
succession I also got the response that my server was reachable from 
several different networks. Consequently the problem was on my side. 
While I was trying a lot of VPNs but could connect to apparently none of 
them while the web pages of major news portals and google were running 
fine I ultimately succeeded to connect to the least trustworthy VPN that 
was available. I should have closed my email program though in advance 
because afterwards I had to change my password.

  I am somehow in doubt that it would not pay off to worry about this. 
Vienna is as far away from my home (Carinthia) as Padua in Italy is 
(230km via air and ~ 300km via road while the way to Padua is less 
montaneouos). Laibach (Slovenia) is even more close than Graz a major 
city on the way to Vienna. Ultimately I have changed my passwords and I 
would certainly believe that there was reason to do so *.

* There would ultimately be no sense in geodata with sub-country 
granularity if my home is right on the other side of Austria (very in 
the South) than Vienna (in the North of Austria) is.
