all morning whilst visiting ebay and other ( not porn ! ) sites inc TV, ive been getting this,...

Sorry, the web site you are accessing has been closed by Royal Thai Police due to inappropriate.

anyone else ?

Someone else was complaining about the same thing in the internet forum yesterday..

No.

ISP, urls?

No.

ISP, urls?

I just got it when i posted on thai visa that the website was closed because of the royal thai police.

Now its working again.

It is scary internet censorship like that.

Sorry, the web site you are accessing has been closed by Royal Thai Police due to inappropriateness such as pornography, gambling or contain any information which is deemed to violate national security.

Just the first time I log into any email account. After login with username and password the message appears. If I refresh or close the browser and login again the message goes away.

You just get one chance to view the message.

hotmail and yahoo

yeah we're getting that message when just updating our blogs...

Hmmmm... is anyone getting this while using OpenDNS or is it just people using their ISP's DNS?

I was reading BBC news page this morning. I clicked on a topic and went to a different page to read about spurs game last night and then when I pressed return to go back to the home page I got the dreaded thai police message. I then rebooted BBC news and read all the news items but couldnt find anything derogatory to Thailand.

Last month while in Bangkok I subscribed to the wireless service provided by the apartment we stayed in. I could only

send emails (AOL) that were only a few lines long. Most of the time it took repeated tries to send a simple email. I couldn't even save drafted messages. Trading on eBay was a nightmare. Frequent "unable to connect"messages were the norm for one month.

Now my suspicions have been confirmed. Told the wife no more visits for me until they stop this silly nonsense. Thailand needs

to get serious about what is a threat to national security and what isn't.

Could anyone do me a favour and test this URL from within Thailand and let me know if it is accessible - the domain hasn't been resolving. The IP address works fine though, maybe this is just a problem with 'True ADSL'

http://www.mycyberhosting.net

It didn't give the police warning but was unreachable, I suspect there is a problem with the True DNS service and somehow there are a whole bunch of domains missing from it, I can't help thinking it's related to some kind of cock up with their censorship system although I could be wrong.

I'm not in Thailand at the moment so can't run any more tests myself. This is a website which belongs to a colleague of mine and we have had reports from various people who can't access any of our servers from within Thailand, it's almost as if they have blocked an entire web host for some reason.

Edit : It's working fine from England at the moment.

Moved to internet forum branch.

It's opening fine for me on Maxnet in Chiang Mai.

2 hours ago when I tried to upload a photo onto my ThaiVisa post, I received the message:

Sorry, the web site you are accessing has been closed by Royal Thai Police due to inappropriateness such as pornography, gambling or contain any information which is deemed to violate national security.

Refreshed the page and the photo had already uploaded, the message disappeared.

Yep, something weird is going on.

Just done an experiment and managed to obtain the message again while accessing ThaiVisa.

Not loading on my True ADSL either (tested with opendns, level 3 dns and true dns), but then again google.com and yahoo.com have trouble loading right now too.

Try using the proxy.trueinternet.co.th:8080 proxy or www.hidemybox.com webproxy.

Using the webproxy the site loads fine for me.

ukrules with the regular true ip it says "Server Not Found" and if i use proxy.asianet.co.th i get this:

Network Error (dns_server_failure)

Your request could not be processed because an error occurred contacting the DNS server.

The DNS server may be temporarily unavailable, or there could be a network problem.

For assistance, contact your network support team.

I'm using openDNS.

Glad im not the only one, thought they were on to me,.

Strangely, I have had the opposite experience today, previously blocked sites are now open.

Anyone find an answer to this yet? It's been happening to me infrequently since last night. I have Maxnet in Chiang Mai. It's not often, and not tied to one website.

No problem with CSloxinfo

"http://www.mycyberhosting.net"

No problem with TOT.

Thanks for running these tests for me, it's strange that some people can access it but others can't, especially the openDNS service, the DNS server is up and running ok so we don't understand why only some people can't access it.

I guess they must be messing with network traffic at some ISPs, especially True.

Medegen : Any idea why it is doing this with openDNs, are they using some kind of low level packet filtering to intercept DNS requests ? Is that likely ? We know the DNS server is definitely working ok and from what's being reported this affects lots of servers (hundreds of them), all on the same DNS server.

Had the same issue when I was upcountry last month and connected via mobile, used Ais and Dtac. Got the same message in thai. Cleaned cashe, try again, still that warning. Next day no problem. Some days later same problem again.

My Maxnet Premier Internet connection went down about midnight Wednesday night. Thursday morning it was not working so my wife called TT&T in Buriram and they said that they were working on Maxnet and everyone was down. In the afternoon it worked fine, but clicking a link on www.pcmagazine.com at 9:30p.m. tonight that same message appeared. Only once, but very strange. Banking, Ebay, newspapers from USA, Gmail, Google, Yahoo, Hotmail all fine, but even once to receive that sort of message is very indicative of the strange aspects of L.O.S.

Posts have been removed for breaches of forum rules, being extremely negative or speaking in derogatory terms about Thai's will not be tolerated.

As per forum rule

8) Not to post extremely negative views of Thailand or derogatory comments directed towards all Thais.

Same message a couple of times browsing Thaivisa, couple of times checking on a couple of UK financial sites too.

Clicking refresh got past the message.

Purely for research I checked a well known 'adult' site, no problem at all.

I went to post a response to another thread and received the message. It appears to be hit or miss based on my experience and others. I am not computer savvy, so for those who are, is there a way to find out what is going on?

Making derogatory comments isn't going to help anyone determine the answer, or remedy the problem.

Well looks as if they are testing their blocking software... this would be my best guess.

Any way of getting some sort of official word about this from the Royal Thai Police (if in fact they are the ones doing this)? My concern is if it is some individual or group posing as the Royal Thai Police attempting to hack into the country's internet. Sounds paranoid - but obviously I don't know. Question - is that a possibility?

I have been getting the same messages randomly on a variety of sites for a week or so, as soon as you hit refresh, the site loads and the message disappears. I have been using open DNS for months now due to poor quality updates on the Thai DNS servers leading to frequent inability to access global sites or general poor loading times.

Can't imagine why they would only block the site on the first request, makes them look a like a joke. Was beginning to wonder if they were just targeting me, as the sites were so innocuous, glad to see it seems to be a nationwide screw up.

And seven hours later.....
