Re: Insight blocks website part deux
if you're having problems getting to a site it may not be that insight is neccesarily blocking it. It could be a DNS routin table issue.
The easiest way for you to see is to test it from the same machine you cannot access it from
- go to www.guardster.com and put in the site and try browsing it from there. Guardster is a proxy site that loads the site via its own proxy. If the site loads via guardster or any other proxy site for that matter than there is definitely a DNS or possibly a blocking issue in place. More than likely the blocking would be coming from the site you are trying to reach if there was indeed blockin going on. In reality I would put my money on the DNS issue as sometimes different regions propogate their tables slower than others and may have invalid information
- you can do a similar thing with firefox by downloading the SwitchProxy extension. It's similar to using Steganos software etc and is a ueful extension when you want to provide some anonynimity to your browsing.
Anyhow I'd be curious to see you result from trying one of these two methods. |

| Hey thanks for the advice. Guardster wouldn't let me access the site, because it said the proxy had a list of servers that was allowed, and empornium's wasn't one of them. I tried it on the »www.the-cloak.com and it worked, empornium came up. I'll download firefox, and the switchproxy extension, and hope that i can get my normal perv status back.
Thanks |
