I can't access one web site

Factual Questions
1

I know for certain that the site is up. I have not been able to access it for about 10 days. It’s a pron site though, NSFW!

Here it is:

I am having no other problems with Internet access. Just this one page.

3

Is this supposed to be porn spam? If you’re serious, there are a lot of other free porn sites you can go to if you need to get off.

4

this is iafd, which is the imdb of porn. there is no other site like it. im not distributing spam. It’s actually a serious site.

  1. I was able to access the site.

  2. I broke the link because the ads on the site are NSFW.

ok thanks Gfactor, I wasn’t sure about the protocol of posting NSFW links. I labeled the it NSFW so as to not get anybody in trouble. Now could anyone tell me why I would not be able to access that one site?

Custom Hosts file? Adblocker software?

This site is your friend.

Try the old standby of clearing you cache and cookies.
If you have Spybot Search & Destroy installed the Immunize function or downloaded hosts file may be blocking it if there are known to be embedded trojans/spyware or viruses on the site.
You may have some other hosts file blocking the site.

Have you tried accessing it using another browser?

11

I just never cease to be amazed at teh internets. Starred.

12

that was the first site i went to when the problem started. And it says it’s just me.

13

did all of that. nothing comes up.,

14

yes, and it stil doesn’t work

15

What exactly happens when you try to access the site?

What changes have occurred in your system between when you last successfully visited the site and first had the problem?

Have you tried from a different PC? From a different location?

What about other well-known porn sites, such as redtube or abbywinters? If they also don’t work, you have a filter problem somewhere, maybe your ISP.

I don’t mean to sound judgmental (or stupid for that matter):

  1. Are you behind a firewall?
  2. Are you doing this from work?
  3. Which browser plug-ins or add-ons do you have installed?
  4. What anti-virus or anti-malware programs do you use?

Have you tried to reach it via the IP address of the site rather than the domain name? Could be a outdated DNS server.
