Another Video Web Site Blocked In Thailand ?

[geoffphuket]

I can't open my favourite video site www.veoh.com today. My worst fears tell me that it's being blocked. Appreciated if some of you in different locations would try it and report back.

Thanks in advance

I can open the site at 10.38 pm without problem. May you try to open via IP: 8.3.211.49

Thanks,

Just tried it and still got this:

Error: Host Not Accessible

The web host 8.3.211.49 is not accessible.

Possible sources of this error:

* The host name is invalid

* There was a DNS error

* The web site may be unavailable

* You may not be connected to the internet

Nothing here in BKK on True (No surprise there) it just times out.

[Guest Reimar]

I am on TRUE in Samut Prakarn.

To verify just send a small video to my e-mail: see attachment!!

Hmmm, I'm getting the same blank screen as when trying to open youtube.

Anyone else care to try: http://www.veoh.com/

Youtube I can open with IP only: http://208.65.153.238/ but it works tested right now!

Same message I get for youtube... VEOH was blocked yesterday for the first time on my side.

Plain ridiculous.

Quite funny! And I use the TRUE DNS Server 203.144.207.29 (49) also!

Than there is a question why I can connect at Samut Prakarn and TexasRanger can't at Bankok on TRUE?

[Guest Reimar]

Just try to connect via remote to an server in Bangkok and try to connect from there via TRUE SME and: Can not!

Retest here at Samut Prakarn and it works!

I can't think why they've picked on VEOH, unless they're trying to save Thailand's pathetic internet bandwidth

tried the link nothing..........

For a few days now, movies downloaded from google, not blocked but the download will stop after a few minutes.

[geoffphuket]

It would appear we're not the only ones. The VEOH forum is loaded with complaints:

Add to the list of blocked sites: www.metacafe.com which is another video site.

I used to be able to watch, but haven't been able to access it for several weeks in Thailand now. (Using TT&T MaxNet ADSL.)

[chevykanteve]

I can't access VEOH also. This is literally the first time I've had problems with it. I'm on Maxnet and receive a "Can not Find Server" message (same as I get with YT).

I hope this is just a temporary glitch. I hope... If not, perhaps someone's worried that videos related to possible, future political disturbances will be uploaded for all the world to see.

Can't load metacafe.com either. It looks like we've lost access to that as well. I thought the government were easing up on restricting web sites. What's Thailand to fear from them ?

[DAS]

Kalasin, TOT ADSL. Metacafe and VEOH both give me that ###### censor screen in Thai. I've noticed for the last few weeks that more and more sites are being blocked, even some US political discussion sites that have nothing to do with Thailand. This is getting ridiculous! I do notice that none of the porn video sites are being blocked though.

[chevykanteve]

Just checked again on my Maxnet and, yes, both VEOH as well as METACAFE cannot be accessed. I used VEOH moslly for downloading cartoons for my children and classic movies for the family in general.

The clock continues to tick backwards in Thailand. I'd like to say more, but I don't want to be banned from this site.

This must be a dream: I've just tried opening VEOH and it worked, so I tried METACAFE, GUBA ......and YOUTUBE. ALL WORKING AGAIN :D

[RKASA]

I have never used them, but tried it to see if its working and metacafe has a ban sign on ToT. ???
