pazu Posted July 22, 2004 at 04:45 PM Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 at 04:45 PM I can't believe it, my website was baxxed in China! http://www.pazu.com/ I've asked two fellows here (thanks Roddy and Tsunku) to help me for checking the connection, they all failed to connect to my website. I have just checked my webstat, there's no China (.cn) visit this month, which is extremely suspicious. Oh my goodness! I can't believe my luck!

xuechengfeng Posted July 22, 2004 at 05:33 PM Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 at 05:33 PM baxxed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest Posted July 22, 2004 at 05:34 PM Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 at 05:34 PM In situations like this, is there any agency in China that you can appeal to, maybe to overturn their decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengdude Posted July 23, 2004 at 02:05 AM Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 at 02:05 AM Sorry, but I'll third that confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazu Posted July 23, 2004 at 03:52 PM Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 at 03:52 PM Quest, indeed the most annoying situation is that there's no way to appeal... I'm thinking of applying a new domain, but it's not a good way because it can be banned again. So I could only recommend my friends to use some proxies................................

Guest Yau Posted July 23, 2004 at 08:57 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 at 08:57 PM Apparently every website can be banned without any reasons. the company website of my friend was also banned about 5-7 years ago. He appealed to the Information Dept, and seeked help from 中聯辦, the shadow agency of china gov't in hongkong. He tried every contact he know in beijing, and the ban was removed a few weeks later. And as a matter of fact, his company is known to be funded by china gov't. Always working close with communists. It was also notorious for encouraging a bomb attack on the colonial hongkong gov't in 1967 and today they switched their attack fiercely on HK democratic party. Of course, the company also strongly bombard any speech that has a tendency towards independence of taiwan. It should be a beloved son in the eyes of communist party. But the company couldn't avoid being temporaily banned. Sounds strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Lee Posted July 23, 2004 at 10:04 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 at 10:04 PM Hmm......Pazu, actually I wonder how come your website has not been baxxed a long time ago in China. Some of the articles in your travel journal, i.e. trip to Dharmsala, ROC flags in remote Yunnan,....might be taboo inside Mainland. Just wish you are not blacklisted when you visit the great "motherland"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazu Posted July 24, 2004 at 04:34 PM Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 at 04:34 PM Oh yes I must have forgotten no personal voice of a single person could be permitted~ and even though my website was filling with quite a lot of patriotic pride. What a great country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazu Posted July 24, 2004 at 04:36 PM Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 at 04:36 PM And Ian Lee, the ROC flag in Tengchong of Yunnan was displayed in a museum, so it shouldn't be considered as a taboo. Our great motherland treated it as a relics of 1911 Revolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PollyWaffle Posted July 28, 2004 at 01:24 PM Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 at 01:24 PM my site was also baxxed & it only had travel photos without any commentary... maybe the chinglish page offended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted July 28, 2004 at 01:55 PM Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 at 01:55 PM Perhaps China is blocking www.pazu.com. More likely, though, China is blocking a range IP of addresses that happens to include your IP address. You're being hosted in Hong Kong and it's possible that your web-host is also hosting a BB or something else that's attracted unwelcome attention. You're 202.64.77.112; perhaps the offending site is 202.64.77.XXX and China simply blocks everything at 202.64.XX.XXX. These wholesale blocks are common: all Geocities sites have long been blocked as were all Netvigator homepages at one time. Ask your web-host whether other customers have had this problem; if so, change to another web-host. You could also test this theory -- that it's 202.64.XX.XXX that's being blocked not pazu.com -- by temporarily pointing your DNS record away from 202.64.77.112 to another address.

pazu Posted August 5, 2004 at 01:38 PM Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 at 01:38 PM Thanks 889 for your advice, but I'm going to apply another domain name for my website, but that's not going to be published, but for my friends only...

geek_frappa Posted August 5, 2004 at 02:20 PM Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 at 02:20 PM it's sad. you have very good content, but the world seems to be preparing for war ... so expect more sites like yours to be banned unless you are extremely patriotic.

the__matrix Posted August 5, 2004 at 05:11 PM Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 at 05:11 PM your website make me surprise,good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted August 6, 2004 at 04:13 AM Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 at 04:13 AM If the problem's not your domain name but your webhost's IP address, then a new domain name isn't going to solve the problem -- you'll still need a new webhost.

MarkFail Posted August 17, 2004 at 01:11 PM Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 at 01:11 PM I bought some space on a local hosting compnay in the UK. And before i even begand i was blocked. I was able to find that china do indeed black IP blocks, and my host was able to move me to an other block of IP's that was not blocked. Now everything is fine. I would therefore recommend that you contact your hosting company and be asked to be moved to a server that is not blocked. my website is www.msgmates.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
