Whitelist is on while we repair and update the server. You can request to be added with the "Request to be added to whitelist" thread. As for the "Cannot reach server" I am assuming your internet was down, your Wifi was off or your firewall is blocking it (check to make sure minecraft has firewall bypass permissions).
Ok i tried getting on i type the ip: verincraft.com . It says cant reach server? I went on my brothers laptop and it says its on but whitelisted. Can someone help?
