    Where's my blockage?

    For the last week or so I have not been able to access one of my favourite websites unless I use TOR.

    I can't think why that is as it's not political or pornographic.

    Here's a route tracing I did...



    Any suggestions (apart from 'more fibre')?

    It means that it is an ISP internal router/gateway/caching server and is in no way related to your problem.

    They are the hosting company. The actual website I have a problem with is still working if I use Tor.

    Since there is nothing wrong with the route to the hosting company then I can only guess that the website in question is blocking requests from certain IP-series.

    It can be because the material on the site is licensed for a certain country/region only (like BBC player) or that the site has had lots of hacking attempts from China and has set up a general Asiablock.

    You'll be bypassing that with a proxy like Thor.
