[SOLVED] [SOLV'D] Web block confuse

[903]

I'm from mainland of China.Our country will block a lot of sites or IP to prevent people to visit it.
I have a problem now ,I build up a website here, I can visit it in my company without proxy,and my company is also in mainland.
But I can't visit it in my home.I can only visit it via a SSH proxy.:(
Does anyone come from China?Have this problem?

I'm living in the country (PRC), too, using an ADSL connection from China Telecom. No difficulty has been discovered when accessing sites hosted on NiftyHost without using my proxy so far.

Different ISPs in China perhaps filter different sites: China Unicom is known to block far more sites than China Telecom. So you have a China Unicom Intenet connection at home, it's possible that NiftyHost is blocked by the ISP.

Another possibility is, some companies, especially large ones, using company-wide VPN proxies to bypass the Internet censorship.

You may also want to check if it's DNS poisoning, since DNS poisoning can be partially fixed locally, by check the DNS lookup result of the inaccessible domain with, for example, nslookup.

WebsitePulse provides an excellent tool to check if your site is blocked by the Great Firewall.. The Beijing server uses a China Unicom connection, I believe, while the Shanghai one uses China Telecom. I checked pyro.niftyhost.us (208.53.183.61) from both servers and no error was returned. Huh, maybe NiftyHost has more than one IP, or it's just a keyword filter (if the URL of your site matches a specific keyword, you could get a TCP reset from the Great Firewall, e.g. ".net.ru" used to be a keyword) that you have met?

It could also be a simple local configuration issue, for instance, an insane entry in hosts file, or a faulty local firewall policy. Please try to visit the site at home with a LiveCD system. if you are unsure about this point.

The internet censorship in China does not apply to Hong Kong and Macau due to their special political situation, so it isn't surprising you don't meet the problem.

You may have been blocked by our firewall. Have you tried changing your IP yet?

Oh,maybe that is the reason.
I have check the url by https://www.websitepulse.com/help/testto...-test.html ,and it said OK both Shanghai and Beijing servers.
But I use the ADSL at home, and the IP should be changed everytime when I dial up.
I will try again tonight,thanks everyone.
