could you please test if my esr repository is accessible from your country ?

[GeorgeOfTheJungle]

@kripton2035 you don't need a VPN to do that, there's a browser called TorBrowser with which you can tunnel the http requests to any country you want, here's a how to:

DNS is fine. Something else is blocking any connection even through using the static IP.

My test included connecting to my Russia VPN, and pinging the domain. I got through.

I disconnected, used the IP given to connect to the website over my US connection, failed.

I pinged on my US connection, failed.

Not working from Ontario Canada.  I can't even get a tracert to the first hop, which is kinda strange.

Code: [Select]

$ traceroute kripton2035.free.fr
traceroute to kripton2035.free.fr (212.27.63.153), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

It does resolve, so it's not a DNS issue.  I can also get to free.fr itself.

works fine from Slovakia - ISP is Orange.
might look like the ISP which is hosting that freehosting server is not advertiising the prefix to everywhere.. like advertising it to cheap uplinks only... 
it's common to have several uplinks and you engineer the traffic by adjusting metrics for outbound and as path prepending for inbound, but not advertising at all to "expensive" uplinks is literally breaking up the internet.
but this case is rather strange... it's part of 212.27.32.0/19 behind AS12322 and if their peering info uploaded to whois database is correct then they don't receive the full BGP table from anyone (no accept ALL for any of the AS listed) and all peers are listed as "and not 0/0" so they don't accept default route from anyone either... that would mean they have path only to direct peers and AS-es announced by those direct peers, therefore explaining why it's reachable only from a handful of places in Europe and not from US.

I forgot to test my web server, and it works from there!  It's located in Quebec, Canada.  Was able to use lynx to view the site too.

Maybe the server only wants to speak French?  

[GeorgeOfTheJungle]

From Spain with Tor using an exit node in the UK (51.15.53.83) it works fine.

[borjam]

I've tried two Spanish ISPs.

One of them reaches it correctly via AMS-IX (the European peering exchange in Amsterdam).

The other one doesn't seem to have a valid route. Which is odd, as this ISP is a customer of Cogent, and accoding to Hurricane Electric (bgp.he.net) free.fr is a customer of Cogent as well.

I would contact free.fr and ask them wether they have any issues with Cogent.

I've just made a clone at : http://kripton2035clone.free.fr/esr-repository.html
if you can please test if it works ?
thanks.

[hendorog]

From NZ: Both clones work, both of the originals don't.

Edit: however for the clones the images are not loading with a 404 error

yes it's still uploading the datas... it should be ok in an hour.

[CJay]

Yes, I can see it and thank you for the resource, it looks most useful.

UK, BT Broadband, UK EE Broadband and UK, O2 mobile Broadband, will test again from Plusnet tomorrow but I have a feeling it'll be fine

[Vgkid]

The cloned site is working.

[brucehoult]

Doesn't work in Russia. I can't ping kripton2035.free.fr aka perso153-g5.free.fr (212.27.63.153) and the traceroute goes dead after:

[PedroDaGr8]

WOrks fine for me in the USA at work. Which is through my employers directly line in the Bay Area, Cali. I will test at home too.

this is the original site that is known to have problems from certain countries. that is why I made a clone.
could you please test the clone, http://kripton2035clone.free.fr  ?
thanks.

Both fine from Sydney, Australia

I did. Those work.

Works from Plusnet UK

Original version is not working.
Clone version is working but very slow
Location: Belgium

[madires]

The traceroute and ping results don't mean anything because a lot of ISPs are filtering those ICMP types. From a DSL internet access I can only get the clone page. From a server in a datacenter I get both web pages. Checking the looking glass of my DSL provider for the BGP route I see 212.27.32.0/19 which includes both web servers. Based on that I'd check for any routing issues (outgoing) at 212.27.63.153. Or could there be any firewall filters blocking known dial-in pools (often used for MTAs) or something like that?

One link works in Mexico, the other times out.
