Blocked Domain

[olaus]

I can not connect to swedish blogs on www.blogspot.com.

I can only read "The server at xxxxxxxx.blogspot.com is taking too long to respond".

Maybe the entire domain is blocked by my ISP, which is TOT. Some kind of thai censorship?

What to do if I want to read my blogs?

Change your dns over to using OpenDNS, then try again.

Blogspot doesn't work for me even with OpenDNS. Looks rather like a routing misconfiguration or a blockage.

Same here, says it's forwarding then times out.

My understanding of this is that owing to 'contentious' blogs on the service the ISP's have been advised that blogspot is a 'questionable' site, but I don't believe, unlike YouTube it is subject to a formal block. This will result in some being able to get through and others not, usually ending up with an alleged 'time out' by being routed to a 10.xxx black hole.

I have TOT and have not been able to access blogspot for a couple weeks now, however people I know that have TRUE and other ISPs have no problem. I think it's just TOT in particular who is blocking blogspot for some reason.

Blogspot works now fine since 2 or 3 days. Before it was unreachable from both TOT and Loxinfo. Bastards!

I still can't access blogspot. TOT must be blocking it....

I'd buy a cheap account from one of the other providers and import the blog to your own domain, leaving redirect URLs to the new site on the old blog. Big domains are easy targets. Individual ones are safer as you control all the content.

Just a note that if you are using an ADSL router you can very easily enter the DNS directly into that. Instructions for most routers is at http://www.opendns.com/start/home_network.php

TOT has now finished blocking blogspot.com
