Unable to open Myspace

Life Technology

I tried to open myspace today and it can’t be accessed.

If I type in the url it returns me to my homepage.

Are websites being blocked in Taiwan?

I had to open the site via a proxy, but unfortunately couldn’t use the music player.

It’s been happening for a month now…same thing in Japan. It goes directly to Google. Don’t know why.

3

probably doing y’all a favor.

4

I only use it to check out new releases of songs of bands I like that are streamed there first.

Otherwise it’s not used.

I can’t find anything on the web about this, so it makes me think google are blocking the search results for this problem.

I was able to open it fine in IE, not FF. Don’t know why.

6

I use FF.

But I have the same problem with IE.

7

Then I don’t know what to say: perhaps it’s being blocked by your AV software not your browser or anti-malware software…

8

your computer is protecting you.

9

I think it’s the ISP. At my place I have ADSL with CHT and it does the redirect back to google.com (my default homepage, coincidentally). However, at work where the ISP presumably is not CHT there are no redirects.

10

I unistalled all my AV and anti spyware/malware software and the same problem exists.

If it’s the ISP I will be looking at changing it.

Blocking Myspace - ridiculous

I use Hinet by the way.

11

usually peoples so passionate about MySpace would cut their wrists, hope you won’t be so daft

12

I was able to view My space in IE, not FF, but … I DO use hinet… And it’s showing up today in FF.

It’s likely somekind of configuration error … it seems resolved.

I’ve been having the same problem recently. Almost every time I try to go to MySpace, I get redirected to Google. I have tried the following browsers so far, and it happens on all of them:

Firefox
Internet Explorer
Opera
Google Chrome

Since it happens with all four browsers, I don’t think the problem is caused by the browser. And I don’t think the Taiwan government blocks any websites, at least I hope not. So I can’t figure out why it’s doing this.

The only way that I have found to access MySpace is to use a proxy server, but that’s a nuisance. (I tried using isurfproxy.com and it worked.)

By the way, my ISP is Hinet FTTB 10/2 Mbps.
