My ISP blockd this site and seedbay and boutique

[JJScorpio]

what site is that you linked to? oh, yeah, it's an ATT site....


What YOU are talking about is a wireless broadband card... COMPLETELY different technology, completely different concept. It may be edge, gprs or whatever else, although today most of em are 3G. Some newer netbooks even come with em pre-installed.

Exactly the reason why his fathers laptop wouldn't have the same address as his desktop at his home.

 

[JJScorpio]

Of course, taht'd be only for subrscribers.

Hmm, perhaps i should code something up and send it to the mods....

Try it at your homesite first....

lol

its all the computers, if you were to come over and log into my network it would be your computer too.

Paranoid or not, better safe than sorry. If I am wrong then I am wrong, egg on my face. If I am right and I didn't do anything to protect myself then well I gotta be stupid.

ok, i'm gonnna do like most tech guys and just assume you're oblivious to the facts, not that you're trying to be an ass, and ask you, to please, re read mypost and GMBs

what YOU are talking about, which is what you quoted me on this last post, is NOT standard, i'd say that less than 3 percent of laptop owners have this. This is a PREMIUM service you pay a MONTHTLY service fee to a CELLULAR service provider.

MOST computers just connect to a WLAN Wireles LOCAL area network. This is why you see "BK WiFi Hot Spot" and "Free Wifi for Customers" signs at different places.

Dude you got corrected, happens to everyone. I may have done it in an assholish way to be funny, but you're wasting bandwidth by continuing to argue your point...



BTW, on the subject of MAC adresses... I always suggest not using the companies' provided wireless routers, but rather connecting your own to it. Why? not only is the cheapest linksys going to be better(most ISPs load their own firmware and cripple the SHIT out of their routers) but also, if you load some of the hacked firmware out there, you can set it to automatically route everything through the onion, and also, more desireable from a "conspiracy to cultivate" point of view, block your MAC(there are other "easier" ways, but this just covers every computer in your house with one swipe).

Why block your MAC? Well.... some may say that if you get popped the chances of them requesting internet records is nil, and it may be true for now, but the age of ISPs being subpoenad for surfing records is near, and if they can connect your computer's MAC address(completely unique in the entire world) to your surfing, and they have all they want to charge conspiracy charges.

Typed, not read, very stoned, so may be rife with errors, check it back after school!

If the government and our ips providers are in a coordinated plan to block us from canna sites i would think they would go after every body who has a account as a part of company policy not just one person at a time

Ok let me step in here

Firstly, IC Mag does not block Any ISP's, we do block a few IP addys that are known for Spam etc but thats it
these are mostly eastern block ISP's (Russia etc)

next, It is possible your ISP is blocking ICM, Boo and Bay, we had at least two ISP's in the US block Overgrow when it was up
also some other places I know block ICM etc due to there content but these are outside the US
and do tell you the site is blocked due to the content

from what I see in this thread it is possible your ISP is blocking us and as you say your out in the middle of nowhere,
its possible its a small company that have issues with our content

OP, what about my idea for the "safe for work" front site? like OG's old one but taken a step further....

!

I figured most people with laptops buy the cards. A laptops pretty useless if you can't take it with you and have service. Then again, I could be wrong.

were already working on an option for "Safe browsing" that will be for subscribers

Wow now that makes you think shit i almost wished you had not said any thing

I was not expecting to hear that

Example.......had a few hours layover in the Middle East enroute to SE Asia and thought I'd check in here on the site. Typed in the icm url, hit enter, and all I got was big red letters on the screen that said (in essence) the site you are attempting to connect to has been blocked by the government due to it containing material which does not meet the moral standards of this country. I felt SO ashamed! Not!

Wow mexi, you managed to get 5 mods to post in your thread. Not bad for a stoner out in the sticks, huh?

FWIW, when I used to steal other people's IPs and surf, I would often find that their networks banned mj sites.

I know it sounds bad, but it isn't really a security issue.


Think of it like parental controls. The provider blocks a certain site from anyone using it. They aren't checking who's trying to access the site, they are blocking anyone from using it. Who knows how they came about blocking the site. It could be someone in charge is a real dick towards weed and decided no one should be viewing this site. If it were me I'd be getting a new provider.

To those who thinks they might be getting blocked from accessing this site, try calling customer service and asking if they have a list of their blocked sites. Just don't give any names of sites in particular..... What I don't understand is normally when a site is blocked it will say so when the "can not access this site" window loads....

 

[boolmag]

I too am having this problem...I don't know exactly what day it started but it's fairly recent. Here, the bay & the boutique as well. At home I can get on fine...(different ISP)

The problem is @ work. The only way I can get on is through a proxy like the others. Note that I'm the one who set up the network there so I certainly didn't block myself. I'm also the only person who has admin access...I did try 3 other people's computers and couldn't get on either, so it's not just my comp.

I too think the only other option is ISP block. I did some searching online & I found a forum where someone else posted they had the same issues with all 3 sites, although they may be one of the ppl who already posted here.

Something weird going on with all this happening @ the same time to different people from different places...

***btw I'm in a small town in northern Canada...

yeah while that worries you..

the fact you have to subscribe to this site in order to "browse safely" worries me...

were already working on an option for "Safe browsing" that will be for subscribers

 

[Trying-to-blend]

I don't know about this site, but I remember the OG subscription process rather anonymous and safe.

Obviously safer than buying seeds.

Edit: If you mean that it's unsecure now, it's jsut that redundancy is always better.

 

[JJScorpio]

the fact you have to subscribe to this site in order to "browse safely" worries me...

I guess there must be another site you're a member of that gives free proxy service to it's members or something? Why don't you educate us.....

 

[cornflake]

(snip)


I think we should go as far as to make a dedicated redirecting proxy, like 2600 does. Have some work related site address. "www.dailystockreports.com" and just have a proxy script with SSH, so that your company's IT department can't spy on your doings unless they actually go to to the site, but hey, it's a login window with NO registration link!

Of course, taht'd be only for subrscribers.

Hmm, perhaps i should code something up and send it to the mods....

Agreed. I think your idea is great!!

I'd be carrying a link in my sig to instructions for our fellow forumers on how to use this site more securely.

If you need any help I'm there

 

[LiLWaynE]

did mean to offend N E 1 or discredit this forum..

just making a statement by saying that it is worrying to know that you have to be part of a proxy in order to "browse safely."

 

[midwestganja]

Use a proxy and all is well.

A little slow though :/
