iHerb has confirmed they are blocked in Malaysia, at least from Unifi/TM
I wonder why nobody here even notices this? I think they were blocked since like weeks or maybe 1-2 months ago. Malaysians.....oh Malaysians..... This post has been edited by Hobbez: Mar 29 2021, 08:07 PM |

Been using alternative DNS and VPNs for years. Only can go to the US website. https://iherb.com The MY version seems blocked. And you will find it hard or maybe impossible to buy anything because you have to change your region to Malaysia, which will trigger the redirect again, and again will be blocked.

If you turn that on, you should be able to access the MY iHerb site. I just tried and the site loads properly, I can log in, reorder my past order, selected shipping, and reached the CC input page.

I usually order on laptop though, connected to home wifi (Unifi), VPN turned off (if not iHerb will email me saying someone accessed my account from whichever country my VPN exit node is based in) but my router is set to use Cloudflare DNS. Also, iHerb has an app (on iOS, not sure about Android), so maybe you can try that. Hope this helps. P.S - I wonder if there's some online list we can check to see all the websites MCMC/ISP/Telco have blocked? This post has been edited by G-17: Mar 30 2021, 03:22 AM BK-201 liked this post

I don't know what OS you're using on your laptop, or whether you want to set it for your laptop only or your whole house via the router. Best to search/ask in the Networks and Broadband section of the forums. Also, it's a good idea to clear your browser cache and cookies, since sometimes the browser retains the old iHerb cookies for the global site. Lastly if you're changing the DNS addresses manually on your router, make sure you're input both the ipv4 and ipv6 addresses.

They are the cheapest BY FAR for any health supplements. Really SMH at Malaysians..... I can order from Unifi because my home router is set to override TM's DNS settings with my personal choice. I use a special DNS assigned by my VPN provider as primary, and Cloudflare's DNS as secondary. Not sure what router you're using, but I believe recent TM-issued routers don't allow users to disable remote management and override DNS, so you'll have to do it in your lapop's OS settings if that's the case (or buy a better router) Yes, you might be the first person to notice this new block, but I believe a lot of Malaysians order from iHerb. They just use alternative DNS since the old days (Najib-era), I think, that's why they don't notice. Like I stated earlier, I've been ordering from iHerb for a few years already and never noticed it was blocked because I always use a VPN or alternative DNS.

No, no, simply changing dns works. I'm sure, because I tried it just now. Disabled my VPN and used Cloudflare's DNS settings only. You don't need a VPN for this. I use a VPN full-time for many reasons, but it's not necessary to simply get past MCMC block currently. If you're inexperienced, don't mess with your router. Just change the settings in Windows or macOS (or easier, install the app) and make sure to clear your browser cookies and cache before trying to access my.iherb again. I should work.

You know, the word "app" (short for application) is universal and has existed long before smartphones were invented, right? If you went to https://1.1.1.1/ like I asked you to earlier, you would have seen the clickable buttons (and install instructions below them) for macOS and Windows applications as well. Edit: If you are using Firefox as your browser on laptop, there's another easier method. In Preferences (hamburger button), under the General section, scroll down to Network Settings and click the Settings button, and in the window that appears scroll down and tick the "Enable DNS over HTTPS" option and then select Cloudflare as the provider and click OK.

QUOTE(Hobbez @ Mar 31 2021, 01:40 AM) Thanks for the guidance in resolving this. Well, that's what we get for living in a third-world country. If possible, you should never use TM-issued router or let TM staff use your computer (even if they claim to "help" you set up). Frankly, I didn't even know iHerb was blocked until I saw your post because I've been using a VPN for many years, and even before that I was using alternative DNS providers. After searching, it seems iHerb was also blocked in the past, around 2017 to early 2019. Then it was unblocked. Now blocked again. But I'm still pissed that TM and Celcom and even U-Mobile would appear to be blocking iHerb MY (in secret). Based on replies from some people at the Networks subforum.... As for Celcom and U-Mobile, you can always install the CloudFlare app (or also the NextDNS app) to use encrypted DNS on your smartphone if you want to order from iHerb on your phone one day. Tip: Maybe you already know this, but just in case you don't; Always use SkyNet as your delivery provider. DHL packages will almost always get inspected (because customs knows DHL customers pay more, so they'll suspect luxury goods), and then after that you'll get all sorts of headache due to the bottles not having the stupid KKM approval sticker. Also, try not to make single big orders. If you want to order a lot of products, try to split them up. Add just enough to each cart until you qualify for free SkyNet delivery, and then when that order has shipped, you confirm the next one. Better for your orders to come in multiple small boxes compared to one big box which customs may open up. My last order from iHerb was March 12 and delivered on March 22 according to my iHerb Account order history page. I don't know if March 12 was before or after this new block by TM. Keep us updated on your latest order. Let us know if there were any problems. Best of luck. |

Just received my parcel from iherb without any issue. As what one of the people in here said before.. Purchase under rm200 tend to be safe.. Yes my items below rm200..if u plan to purchase a lot do in stages perhaps... I found their price is quite competitive even reasonable compared to local products including shipping fees... Might be reason for its website blockage in Malaysia.. Lol
