olaus Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny Valentine Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Blogspot doesn't work for me even with OpenDNS. Looks rather like a routing misconfiguration or a blockage. Sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Traveller Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 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.

DaveBKK Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 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. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Valentine Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Blogspot works now fine since 2 or 3 days. Before it was unreachable from both TOT and Loxinfo. Bastards! Sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Just a note that if you are using an ADSL router you can very easily enter the DNS directly into that.
