BrettGC Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Hi Guys, Haven't struck it yet but does the Philippines block access to certain aspects of the web? If so, is this managed by the ISPs or the government? What sort of sites are blocked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Haven't known anything to be blocked yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve & Myrlita Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 So far, I have not experienced PLDT blocking anything. The US however will! Thank God for VPNs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbago Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 There are things that you can't do online from the PI, like book a flight with Korean Air or shop on some sites that will not deliver to PI. It probably is not the PI doing the blocking but likely the other sites denying access due to past problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike S Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I have run into sites that won't let you connect because as they say "webmaster will not allow viewing in your country" ..... I think it has more to do with all the pirating being done here in the Phils and I'm told some so called live chat sites can't be shown here .... but other than that it is wide open .... :cheersty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I have had a number of messages recently that my IP address was banned because it's site policy to ban addresses from China. I think it's more to do with them than the Philippines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 China does block some sites. If you cant download any films, just type in piratebay proxy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China does block some sites. some sites appear to be blocked due the "region". This is set by the "web site" or the owner of the material. NOT by the PI government,. at least not yet. example some of the AOL.com news(video) articles are not accessable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time I was in the Phils and I went to yahoo seven Australia site to watch TV but no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettGC Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Was linking some sites to SAO but no go, nothing too out of the ordinary - Said something about unsuitable content or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
