Hi,

 

I am located in the Netherlands and using the Chrome web browser, www.renntech.org will not load (ie. it times out).

 

Using the Opera web browser's built in VPN feature, and connecting through their US server, the site loads fine.

 

Is this by design?

Loren can respond but guessing it's a one-off thing related to the routing -- have you noticed this one time or over a longer period?

 

RennTech has many, many international members including from the Netherlands.  No one is excluded by design.

Did a traceroute to www.renntech.org using different ISP's and they all timeout with a hop at provider DATACATE in Chicago, IL..

 

No issues on VPN as stated before. Very strange..

I also struggle with Renntech not being accessible from Europe.

For as long as I can remember (at least 5-6 years) I can only access Renntech.org though an USA proxy.

 

I have tried on different computers, different browsers, different locations (home, school, work, 4G mobile, at friends) but from nowhere in the Netherlands I can get to Renntech.org.

If I use a proxy, i can only use a non-European proxy. with a European proxy the results are the same: unable to load the address.

 

Today I managed to register an account though using multiple proxy's. I have tried before but failed because the confirmation url send by email could not be opened with the proxy I used before.

 

Anybody has an idea what is going on?

 

I was not sure to reply on this topic since its already 3 years old, or start a new topic.

Strange it's apparently only an issue from the Netherlands.  I have traveled to Germany and Italy somewhat frequently and never had a problem accessing from there (usually from an iPhone).
