Unavailable, only reachable through proxy server!

[Sarahlabyrinth]

Go into your settings. Network & Internet. Proxy. Manual proxy setup. Use a proxy server. Set up. Then just add the IP & Port (very important to add all). You can find tons of free proxy servers online, some work, some don't. Some do for a while, then give up the ghost. I go through a web service (those are easy). Tons; just Google to your heart's content!

Ok, thanks!

You're welcome! Hope it's of use to you. Always a great idea to explore your settings a bit (be careful what you alter, though!)

Yes, I am always nervous about altering things because I never know if it will mess something up

A VPN functions as my proxy.

Thank you for this excellent article. I'd been looking for this info and you've provided it.

Just wondering about all this as I can still not reach the site the regular way. I would have to see if my phone allows a connection...

[lapushka]

Still can not get through except with proxy servers. I mean, it has to be a "risk" for overall site safety to have your log-ins travel through those things. No? And no, please don't start "limiting" proxy servers. It's the only way I can get in here.

I think it's worth checking out. I did everything (and I'm a tad tech savvy, as you guys know) that I possibly could on my end. So it's not me, I don't think as the entire godforsaken interweb is totally open to me, except for this site. And I had the problem before. And it took admin intervention then.

Could someone please, if not done so already, contact the site owner, and also... keep me posted?

Jesus. Now it's hard even *with* a proxy server. I had to do some finagling to get here in one piece. LOL

Lapushka, have you tried with a different computer? Different browser? Your phone? Just throwing out ideas that might help someone else diagnose the issue.

My computer, through my ISP has an IP address. If that "range" is blocked by your server for some reason, then obviously I can not get through. And it isn't my computer if I can access the rest of the internet... is it?
