Works fine from my office computer using BT inifinity connection. Works ok on phone (well tells me I need flash but still connects) when using 3g. Does not work from any computer on my home network (uses virgin media cable), win 7 / 8, IE9, chrome, firefox or on my phone when using wifi. it gives me the error: Card Hunter is currently down for maintenance. Please Try Again after a few minutes. I have opened the specified ports directly to my pc still no luck, checking console in chrome gives me: Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/plain: "http://live.cardhunter.com/client/js/xdr.js". live.cardhunter.com/:8Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/plain: "http://live.cardhunter.com/client/js/swfobject.js". live.cardhunter.com/:8Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/plain: "http://live.cardhunter.com/client/js/cardhunter_googlewallet.js". live.cardhunter.com/:8Viewport target-densitydpi is not supported. checkout.google.com/inapp/frontend/app/payments.html?formFactor=DESKTOP&rh=…ps=succeeded&md=http://live.cardhunter.com&rti=i:-56d80547&rt=o:70b8fb97:4XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://live-server.cardhunter.com:8080/check_maintenance.jsp.

I am running a lot of malware, AV and trojan protection on this pc but on others I have less and the phone none (and it 'works' on 3g any way).
There was an issue with avast I recall (and other games seems to have that as well) - not sure what AV you're using - but turning those off one by one for testing could be an idea.
Thanks pengw1n, but as I mentioned I have tried on a number of computers some of which have no AV including one device that it definitely works on another connection.
There definitely seems to be a problem with proxy servers stripping off the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header from the maintenance check, or otherwise blocking access to it. Is your browser giving you that "HTTP through a proxy server is not allowed." message when you try to access the check_maintenance page directly?
I carried out some brief checks and they did not turn up any proxy's in action on my ISP, I removed firewall and disabled other services on my router but that made no change. Yes the "HTTP through proxy server is not allowed" came from the web page contents.
