AULRO forbidden in Kuala Lumpor?

[mtb_gary]

On the way home from Europe our change over flight was in KL. I tried getting on to the AULRO site using the free airport wifi but get the following message..

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /afvb/p38a-range-rover/ on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache Server at www.aulro.com Port 80

Is it because the AULRO site contains "dirty" pictures? :angel:

i run a script that will shut down an address block if the system detects multiple breakin attempts within a short period of time.

it may have been that.

i was running some geo blocks a while back as well but surely that would affect it these days i wouldnt have thought..

huh, that's odd.
Fairly certain I accessed Aulro using airports all throughout Asia without any issue.

I go to KL and Malaysia a couple of times a year and have never had issues accessing any websites anywhere in Malaysia, Maybe the airports free network is limited

Me too. Even in the slightly more grim parts of China I had no issue with access, and I was working there when even the BBC News website was blocked. :o

That's because Inc. only lets subscribers access the section full of revolutionary plans by us dirty capitalists :D

I was quite surprised they didn't take offence at the "how much to pay for a corrupt government official" thread. :D

In all seriousness, they do monitor web traffic still for posts about events in a certain Square beginning with T (and I won't spell it out!), and block websites with it mentioned.

However, Malaysia is quite a bit more progressive. Must just have been Comrade Inc blocking access.

Funny, I thought it would be the "Best methods for using capitalism to undermine the efforts of Glorious Democratically Elected Communist Peoples Party" thread that got me into trouble :angel:

Yep, they also don't allow anything with a visible American flag on it from what I understand.

.would it be possible to move a button?

being male my thumbs are neither dainty nor sensitive..when i go to use the site on my mobile the "new posts and "log out" are next to each other...and my thumb dwarfs them both..reulting in log out requests...there is a space below the "log out "button...can it be moved down a peg....?

thanks....

I used my phone to access AULRO while in Mongolia recently.......................................... .... $1270.00 later ........... .......................:eek:


and that was after I spent a couple of hours on the phone to Telstra organising data packages, etc, to ensure I wouldn't get slugged. We are now looking for another provider. Apologies for the hijack.

I used the airport wifi in KL towards the end of last year to access AULRO without problems - even sent a couple of messages to Tombie as it turned out that I was travelling with someone who he worked with at the time.

I was in the Malaysian Airlines lounge - don't know if they're on a different wifi link to the rest of the airport or not.

Also had no problems accessing AULRO from China (Shanghai) during same trip.

I had more problems getting on from Germany a couple of months ago - but all the sites that I was going on were pretty slow from where I was at the time.

If you travel regularly it pays to have a VPN installed on your laptop for this reason, living out here in Dubai where the internet is censored they are a must, whenever I run into a blocked site I just fire up the VPN & direct my connection through a country such as the UK or similar.

It is also a good way to access sites which are country specific such as some of the sporting vid clips etc, when I want to watch some Ozzy sport from here I set the VPN up for OZ & can access a lot of things which are block for not OZ based users. The BBC Iplayer also works well this way as well.

I've just come back from Europe, no problems with internet in Germany Czech Republic, Austria (That's the one without the kangaroos :D) and Netherlands....just KL International Airport.

Now that's commitment to the site :D (money is no object with our members ;))
Damn, that's gotta hurt :eek:

I am in China now and I have been coming for many years and this is the first trip I have been able to to get on to AULRO, something has definitely changed.
