Is it possible by any means that you are being banned from dns servers or something? Since a few days ago I can\'t enter your site, all I get is an http 503 error; even Tor+privoxy is failing. I\'m now using an http proxy BTW and I\'m in Spain.
Regards and keep on that.

Thanks for letting us know. Can you please obtain more information about this? Some months ago, anonymous posters made false accusations about this site claiming it was launching DDOS attacks. They filled various public forums with these bogus accusations and then had it blacklisted by Websense. The same tactics were apparently (or quite surely) used against Groklaw and against my personal site (false accusations followed by Websense filtering). If you can identify the source or level at which there is a block, then we can at least try to do something.

Any ideas on how I could identify the level at which there is a block? The situation is still the same; can\'t get to \'http://boycottnovell.com/\' unless I use an http proxy.
I don\'t know how to check this, but I can follow your indications in order to find out what\'s happening.
In the meanwhile, there go the tracert results (using opendns as dns):

If I use the telefonica (my ISP) dns, the result is shorter :-) :

Seems that using an http proxy doesn\'t make things easy when it comes to leave a new comment. I was trying to copy/paste the result of a tracert from my pc, but seems like something went wrong...
There I go again

Hope it helps; I\'ll take a look over here later, if you think of something else I can check, please let me know

There are two things I can think of:
I can't help wondering if the exclusion is accidental or not. Can you access http://www.suemelinux.com/ for example? It should resolve to pretty much the same IP address.
jaims
2008-02-07 12:09:51
I think you must be right; I cannot enter to suemelinux.com either (unless I use the http proxy). It\'s probably the IPv6 switch or maybe the sharks became too hungry :-)
Yes, I was aware of the 5th cable stuff; plenty of \'conspiranoia\' on the web these days about it.
I\'ll keep checking boycottnovell, the connection issue will -hopefully- solved soon.
Keep the good job in the meanwhile
