Stormrider Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 My website is actually a resume writing website. Nothing odd, no porn or anything of that sort. I received an email from a couple of people in Thailand recently letting me know they are unable to access my website from there. Does anyone know how or why this sort of thing happens and if there is anything I can do to have it un-blocked? Thanks to all.
CPT Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) When you say blocked, do you mean users in Thailand are recieving a message from the MICT saying it is blocked or are they seeing something different? Edited May 24, 2013 by CPT

rubberduck Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Can also be a temporary DNS issue with the Thai internetprovider, sometimes one of my websites can't be opened by a friend in Thailand and thinks it's blocked but I know it's not. I told him several times just wait one or few days, it's just an internet issue then. Did you asked the people if they got a Thai blocking notice and/or if they tried acces your site via a proxy website or VPN or using TOR browser ?
Langsuan Man Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 If you site is so innocuous then why not post the url here and we can tell you if it is being blocked by MICT ? Certainly not against any TV rule that I am aware of !

harrry Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Often blocks cover the whole ip adrress which may involve hundreds of sites. THere may be one website on that IP that the govt did not like. Australia has done this where aparently 1200 sites were blocked just to block one. http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2013/s3760942.htm 1

My website is LogCap4Jobs.com if anyone cares to try accessing it to determine the problem. Many thanks to all.

I am not sure. I didn't get the specifics. They just said that they couldn't get on my website.

Did you asked the people if they got a Thai blocking notice and/or if they tried acces your site via a proxy website or VPN or using TOR browser ? I did not think to ask. I'm pretty sure they were just trying to get to the site using standard internet service and not VPN or TOR browser.

naboo Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Works fine for me - Opera Mobile on Android via True Hi-Speed cable internet in Chiang Mai.
Stormrider Posted May 24, 2013 Author Posted May 24, 2013 Many thanks for that information. I have contacted my host about it and will hopefully have it resolved soon. Again, thank you.
sfokevin Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I'm here in the US (Chicago) and your site comes right up on my iPad...
balo Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I think something is wrong wiith your host, it works with Andoid device from my TOT line but not Windows PC:
Tywais Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 3BB Chiang Mai and can access it with no problems. //edit - remote connected to my university computer in Chiang Mai which is under a different ISP and also no problems connecting out from there to the site.
manarak Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 The errors posted by psych and totster indeed indicate a webserver misconfiguration - most problably due to an improper use of SPAM blocker lists / blackholelists. Then the site certainly looks commercial And finally, what a great way to make the forum aware of the site
kyb789 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Your site came up no problem using Buddy Broadband in Bangkok.
Ticketmaster Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Works fine for me in Phitsanulok using a DTAC Edge air card.
Psych01 Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Just searched again and it is now bringing your webpage up. True BKK.
