Looks like the banhammer is in place again....

Anyone having problem can try this step by RAMChYLD:
QUOTE
I figured out a bypass, but it is confirmed that it's a routing block. All signs point to a linux iptables-style blockage. Also, since these blockages are likely logged (I am quite well versed with the way IPTables worked), it is possible that the log will be scruntinized and the workaround be fixed soon.

Here's how to do it. No point keeping it a secret since it's logged on their effing server. You'll need to be already on GoogleDNS first:
1. Open a tab and point it to a nonexistant page on Megaupload's site to get a 404 (ie. www.megaupload.com/\)
2. Open another tab and load Megaupload again. It will work.
3. After a while the connection will fail again. Go back to the tab with the 404 and refresh.
4. You'll earn yourself another few minutes
5. Rinse and repeat.

This is definitely a no-go for large files when using a free account or having no account at all, since you cannot resume.


Only other option to bypass the block is through VPN.

Looks like the banned file hosting sites has been lifted. tongue.gif

Although I stand corrected that around 2-3pm of 29th June 2011 GMT+8, the said websites is inaccessible even using Google DNS/OpenDNS.

--------------------------------------------

Original post:

I'm mostly a casual user for YES and use it to supplement my Streamyx connection although I do use it when I'm on the move if there is reception around the area.

Since I haven't login lately with YES, I noticed they have blocked the banned file hosting by our beloved MCMC for good. Even using Google DNS or OpenDNS is not working.

I use Fileserve to upload my work in progress reel for my clients, I do not want to jump to another file hosting site due to this hard block (we can bypass the block for Streamyx using Google DNS/OpenDNS).

So it is me or do other YES users are not affected by this hard block? sad.gif

Look's like they block Open DNS, & only allow their own DNS....
Only VPN can bypass....
So sadly...
Hope TM don't block others then their DNS...

I tempted to get VPN just to bypass it.

Sigh the cost to surf the net peacefully in 1Msia is really costly.

If let say the user is relying on Yes 4G only, he/she need to purchase alternative file hosting sites (which might get banned in the future) or purchasing VPN that add to the cost of the internet bill. =3=

I have YES 4G also i take RM 1199 with Huddle, but 1 month they charge me RM250 due to I download....
YES 4G is fast, but if I use VPN, kind of OMG due to it's fast draining my credit inside my account.

Exactly my thoughts. This is not only boneheaded, but also an invasion of privacy.

Oh My God, soon no Internet Freedom.
The One Malaysia, That is One Malaysian with no Freedom.
We not talking about their politic, we just want that we can access internet freely.
Maybe they block our internet to make sure they win their politic...
But who care they win or lose, we just need our internet freedom back...

It's intermittent for me also. Close browser and directly go to mega upload, got connection reset.

Telnet manual through port 80 and issue GET / able to reset the content.

Using IP also ok..

I suggest filing a complaint to mcmc (see below) then dump Yes to show them you mean business.

I have no problem with Streamyx blocking P2P, but blocking file hosting sites is too much.

Pretty soon they're going to block VPNs too.

Hurts my head to think tho- If they block VPN, how people going to work off-site? The company I work for also requires me to regularly go on road trips, and when on road trips the only way to troubleshoot server problems back at HQ is using VPN.

For odd reason the banned sites have been lifted and is now accessible through YES. Will update the title of the thread now. sweat.gif

Also I'm not trying to create false information. Around the time I've created the thread, the said banned file hosting sites by MCMC is inaccessible and sites such as FileSonic and Hotfile is accessible.

Sorry for all the confusion especially to YES users (though I stand corrected around the afternoon (2-3pm) of 29th June 2011, the list of banned websites is inaccessible).

I can attest it happened. Around that time, I tried to access MU using my huddle. I was on Ubuntu 11.04 with GoogleDNS configured. Keep getting Connection Reset. Sure it's their work because MU works when I access it using VPN.
