Which country is that? Here in Spain it works fine.


Brazil.


Same thing here. I can get it with Tor as most of the exit nodes as far from Brazil (for good reason).

Perhaps we should mirror the entire site (it seems to be plain good old HTML) and archive it on IPFS or so to get rid of these dumb geoblocks.


Not working from Thailand


Thanks! I wonder why. In the EU we see a lot of American sites blocking us because they don't want to bother with the GDPR, cookie permissions and such. For example https://www.homedepot.com/ . But I don't think Thailand has such restrictions?


On the About page (https://www.rfcafe.com/business/about-rf-cafe-disclaimer.htm) there's a map showing some high level visitor distribution, and there's a couple of dots in Thailand.

There's also the following copy on the same page:

"Repeated, crippling DDoS attacks from the following countries has caused me to block their access. Apologies to the innocent.

Brazil, Singapore, Angola, Seychelles, UAE."

My guess is that the geolocation Gods placed GP in Singapore.


Weirdly that works for me in the UK, despite us having the same laws.
