Hosting Company Blocking Access from Asia

Marmite · October 14, 2010, 09:26:39 PM

I have been having problems accessing this site for a week or so now and am only able to do so using a proxy server which is slow and clunky. I had a brief chat to Dr Evil about it and he said that the site was very slow in Korea despite them having the fastest internet in the world.

I did a trace-route and it seems that ironcreek.net are causing the problem.

Would it be possible for them to unblock my ISP (192.168.1.1 - Maxnet TT&T/3BB).

If I need to supply more info, I will.

Marmite, you might want to double check that IP. 192.168.1.1 is generally a consumer/home router IP, not a publicly-routed ISP-based address.

Spot on there Regolith. That's not a legit, routable IP address.

See if you can get to:
http://www.whatismyip.com/

That site should give you your real ip address.

Indeed. Sorry about that.

We don't have a fixed IP over here so it will change every time I restart the PC.

This may be more useful...

mx-ll-223.206.220-107.dynamic.3bb.co.th

I also have this...

It seems a few people are having issues with a number of sites from Thailand. We believe it's due to a poorly setup 'big brother' thingy that basically keeps copies of everything coming and going on the internet and looks out for dodgy key words/phrases that are a threat to 'national security' - whatever the fuck that is.

Thailand also isn't interested in the freedom of speech or liberty, just keeping a few major players in control of most things.
