Access Denied and other problems

[petedk]

We had an infestation of those flying termites today, so I decided to search the internet for advice. To my surprise about 30 or 40% of the links I clicked on gave me a "403 access denied" message.

I then searched other work related topics and also received the same message.

 

Ok, I decided to relax and read the news on Thai Visa. I didn't get the "access denied" message, but got several "Time out" messages when clicking links.

 

When reading about mobile phones I also got an "access denied" for Ebuyer.com.

 

I then tried with a VPN and all the sites could be opened.  Is there any logical reason for this? I use True Cable Internet.

I'm having similar problems here in south Surin with a TOT wifi connection. VERY slow the last couple of days & right now - often times out on a variety of sites. I'm wondering whether it's the Amazon cloud problem of the last few days affecting us here? Otherwise a mystery to me ...
