What news readers do people use for comp.os.vms?

I used to get messages from new.eternal-september.org using Thunderbird until I noticed that I wasn't getting messages. I switched to news.aloe.org for a while but that also seems to have stopped. Now I'm using Google Groups.

aioe is temporarily broken. They had a major RAID array failure. Might be
a few weeks - I know no more than that.

I use news.individual.net. It costs 10 euro (about $10) a year, and is
good at filtering out rubbish/spam.

I am using eternal-september with Thunderbird and I have no problems.

Specifically, I'm using reader.eternal-september.org, port 119, with no
connection security.

I have a vague recollection that I *was* having some issues a few years ago,
and had to disable security to get it to work reliably.
