Polish users cut off from TalkChess

Sam you are not the solution. If there would be a solution to the problem you would not be informed.

The following idea occurred to me:

Wouldn't it be possible to set up a 'relay server' at a non-blocked IP address, which does nothing other than forward the URL request to TalkChess, fetch the data, and then forward that to the original requester? People could use that as if it was the original TalkChess website. (Although it would be a little slower.) I suppose that for every page it relays it would have to substitute any occurrence of the string 'talkchess.com' to its own domain name, so that people who follow the links would again go through the relay server.

Good idea HGM

The technology is finally there. Amazing what things are possible in 2021.

Hardly get access since yesterday, the notorious Forbidden You don't have permission to access /forum3/search.php on this server once again. Since today no access at all. Need to use a VPN connection.

Is Quentin Turner blocking IP's again?

What is the sense of an „International“ forum if the forum is not accessible for the international public ?!


We should better shut down the shit and open it somewhere where No IP adresses are blocked.

As it seems USA is not a senseful host anymore.

Try to use an US proxy server:

I used 51.81.186.206 port 8080 to write this message. You can setup a proxy in your OS network settings or browser settings.

This is only a list.

What do I need to do to use this us server?

Please explain step by step.

That was a list of http-proxies in the US. If you use one of those in your browser settings, all your web-traffic will be routed through that proxy.

You should enable that proxy for visiting Talkchess only, and after visit disable again. Talkchess.com is not https encrypted, so there is no further security concern by using a proxy. There are several add-ons for several browsers to manage proxies in an more comfortable manner, I am not into these.
