Sorry it took me so long to look into this thread. I'm definitely off the radar, lately 
Emiliano, although the webserver recently had a couple short downtimes*, it looks like that would be a very specific problem of yours. I'm not saying it's on your side, but if no one else has connection problems at the same time we'll probably have to concentrate on your case.
If it's clearly not a firewall problem, it might be something on our side. We have a few IP address ranges blocked (not many though; mostly Chinese addresses because of some very childish mass registration attempts from a Chinese network).
I don't know if you have a dial-in connection with dynamic IP or if it's a fixed IP address. Here's what you can try, Emiliano: next time you have no access to the VA server, please go to http://www.myipaddress.com and note your IP. Then post that IP address here. I will check if it falls into the blocked range.
Other than that I have no brilliant ideas, at the moment.
* some info about our recent work on the Air-Child webserver: we tried to move to a new virtual system during the last weeks and had to shut it down a couple of times (about 3 times with only one longer downtime of about 1 hr). Unfortunately there's still too many problems with new server software, so we could not make that change yet. That's only one reason why I'm so busy. About 15 websites on that server, including ACH, need to be debugged and adjusted, before we can switch to the new system.
