jobin Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Just turned to a USA newspaper web site, Chicago Tribune. Banned by Thai govt for ???, what they say is 'inappropriate content'. This Internet regulation of course is directly out of China game plan of controlling ALL internet, monitoring citizens email and web posts. Downhill from here, no doubt. Bye-bye to freedom of expression, bye-bye to new ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 CT pulls up for me ok on ToT. I do see an article that could be deemed "inappropriate" so it's possible some ISPs are blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaded Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Click on one of the sub pages after a google search of the paper's name. This always works for me and lets me roam around as though I came in through the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiejohn Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Just use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and tell it you are in the country that you want to watch/read the content from. If you want to read the Daily Mail (I suppose some people do) just tell the VPN you are in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards (and wih some jbewilderment), Joe He's trying to be coy. Surely, he can't be talking about a specific article about a topic which he knows is off limits in Thailand. I mean surely, any foreigner who's been in Thailand even for a brief period of time knows this. Regardless, his thread title and OP is wrong. The Chicago Tribune is not banned by the Thai government.

Make sure you have told Hola which country you want and do not use old favourites/links etc that you have used pre VPN . I have no problems with Cyberghost ( both paid and free versions on IE, Bing & Chrome) Tunnel Bear(IE, Bing & Chrome) and Hotspot Shield(Win 10 mob).

KhunBENQ Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 http://www.chicagotribune.com/ (still) opens for me on ToT fibre. Many websites, even foreign cable TV channels are blocked for the slightest unwanted details/comment on the highest members of Thai society. And Chicago Tribune has such an article currently. The thread shows that this blocking is inconsistent. Now you know why they work on the infamous "single internet gateway" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The blocking of Daily Mail seems to have a new method that I never experienced. When I click a link to it on a Google search page NOTHING visible happens. Just a short blink on the browser headline. That's it. Retry with VPN, same method, opens fine.
