Problem for Aussie gamers accessing ENworld

[humble minion]

The page saying 'banned', at least for me, is generated from enworld. It's not a timeout, page generated by some other body, or anything else.

Could be two different issues if other people are getting timeouts instead of an error page.

I'm only ever getting timeouts.

In that case, it's clear. Enworld was blocking the IP of one of Internode's transparent proxies. As this was only used in Adelaide Hong didn't have a problem. Since enworld is fine for me now, it must have been unblocked.

Sorry about everyone else though, must be an optus issue.

Ok Xilo, Try this one. It is working at the moment since I'm using it to post this message.

Address: 64.92.212.232 Port: 80

It is from this site.

Xilo, the proxy listed above no longer works either now. It looks like you have to keep updating the proxy that you use. If you go to the site that I linked to you should be able to find one that works though. Hopefully they sort this issue out soon.

A week later and the proxy address is still working. Unfortunately I still can't reach EN World without using a proxy server though. At least this is better than not being able to reach the site at all I guess.

Olaf, have you mentioned this to the Optusnet admins? We hang off Optus at work and there doesn't seem to be a problem connecting to ENW.

I e-mailed Optus about it about a month ago. Their reply was that something on EN World's end was blocking their servers. I can post the e-mail up here if anyone is interested.

It has only taken what has seemed like forever but it looks like the problem has finally been fixed!

At the moment, for the first time in months I am posting from home without the use of a proxy server. Yay!

Let's hope it stays like this.

Is it still working for you, Olaf? I tried it when I got home last night, and it was more of the same old time-out...

I haven't tried it again since Saturday night (I'm posting from work at the moment). Hopefully it still is. I'll let you know the next time I give it a try from home.
