Some Simple Trick You Can Use When You Can't Open Certain Websites

I guess this is a good topic to share after a long break (I think is almost 3-4 weeks since my last tech-related post :P). Here goes:

Ever experienced situation where you fail your attempt to access certain websites, such as forum, blog or other info spot which might seem HARMFUL under the government jurisdiction? I am not trying to pinpoint anything but I hope as a wised Internet user, we all should have the rights to see and/or hear thoughts from groups besides the general publicity.

So how to access websites in a more open manner? If you are a Streamyx user, you might be familiar with the general Streamyx DNS IP : 202.188.0.133 or 202.188.1.5 (I guess I'm not the only one who is so used to it) which you might need to set in the modem router or your PC/notebook. You might ask again what is DNS? Well in short DNS (Domain Name Service) is the server which stored lots of IP addresses for most of the websites. When we type in the address of a website, the request will be send to a dedicated DNS server & a matching session occurs. Once there is a hit, the result will be send back with the link to the place where the website is stored so we can open & see the content as what we are doing daily. For more detail do go for Wiki :)

So why we can't open certain websites using Streamyx DNS? It is obvious they have implemented some sort of filtering mechanism which prohibits user to access unwanted content. So the easy way (with some minor IT tech skill) is: change the DNS IP.

You may try any one of those mentioned. For your information, there are lots of free DNS service available out there, however be noted that they might also block certain websites which contain harmful info. Until next time, Happy surfing!

My Website was Hijacked!!! @o@

Due to standard procedure, I usually visit my company's official website at least 4-5 times a month to ensure it is ok.

Weird thing happened yesterday where I noticed the main page was displaying the outdated format. I can still recall I've uploaded new information 2-3 weeks ago, so how come? Immediately I tried to access the content via FTP but it keeps prompting incorrect password...... This sure doesn't look good.

The time was 12.30am when I sent the e-mail to the hosting company. Then I just wait for luck,after all what can I expect during midnight?

I guess good luck hasn't forgotten me as I received prompt reply from the support personal within 5 minutes! With his kind assistance, I gained full access to my website again :) Just wanna say thanks to the great support offered. It makes me feel I wanna serve in similar way as well (not to say stay till midnight no sleep......). Just hope with such kind service, clients should be grateful & acquire our service more.
