Blocked sites.....

Does anyone have a list of sites, or know if insight is blocking certain sites?

I have ran into some sites that I keep getting timeout errors on, and they work for other people, and they show up on the google cache. Also can go to a site like anybrowser and get it to come up but it is really slow.

There are other insight subscribers that I have talked to and they say they cannot pull the site up either.... So I was just wondering if this is something on my side, or if insight is actually blocking the site from their side.....

The site will not load on my comp, nor my girlfriends laptop in FireFox, or IE.....

Hm, that always seems to be the case... works for everyone else....

So I guess I am ruling out that insightbb has it blocked on their end.... Still cant figure out why neither mine or my girlfriends comp will load it....?

Your example always works fine for me. If your using IE and XP with SP2. I think sometimes it was problems displaying PHP content. Try clearing your cache. If using software for privacy settings. You might try lowering those as well. You could also check your IE settings. But I have no problems getting that site to work. You might want to edit the link or give a warning here in regards to it. I'm in no way offended by the content their.:D But others might not be so happy in that regard. This is supposed to be a family friendly site.

You could also try using other DNS IP. There is a recent thread in this forum in regards to how to do that.

For the truly paranoid. We could entertain the thought. That this might have to do with Insight blocking P2P in some way shape or form.

I have had this problem in the past. Try plugging in some different DNS numbers and try it.

Assuming you have w2k/xp from the command line try an

nslookup www.empornium.us

and see what the name resolves to and we can compare that to ours...that will tell you if it a DNS problem or with a tracert that it might be a routing problem from your location...

I switched to 2 speakeasy DNS servers and flushdnsed and get the same error. I wonder what other sites are actually not getting through.

Can someone that can get through get the IP of the site? When I try to ping it it gives an IP of 64.235.252.242 just to try to rule out a DNS issue. Also a tracert would be helpful for those that can get there.

This is what I get

As I touched upon above. For testing purposes ( maybe I missed this above ) are you seeing this with just sites that contain torrent information? If so then we need to focus on that. Are there other non torrent sites giving you an issue? Do these sites use PHP?

I get the same thing as ripn except for my dns server.

This is the only site that I am aware of that does not work for me and apparently others in CU yet does for others. I have experienced other sites that have timed out, but is it the same issue or is just a coincidence. Kind of irks me. I cannot see why they would only block this one site. Other torrent sites load just fine. Maybe they just hate porn in CU even though it is their bread and butter

I couldn't care less about empornium.us, but I don't want to stumble upon a whole class of sites that time out and make me think they no longer exist. How many dead links on google searches were really dead?

Myself I really doubt that insight is blocking access to any sites...I have no doubt that they can and or have done traffic shaping on P2P in general...but blocking the site's I think would be an all time low that I think even insight is not capable of...Maybe the op should try and just do a fresh complete OS install and start from scratch...then see what's what..
