Pain in the ass - Swisscom just confirmed that they are blocking www.calendrier-piste.fr which i use to plan my summer racing…they cannot even confirm why they are blocking it. My questions: does anyone have a list of sites that swisscom block? how can we get the site unblocked if it is a legit and legal site?

great. Could you then please close the thread and mark it as solved? Thx

another question - is it even legal to block internet traffic as long as the site does not break any local laws??? I know China blocks sites on a regular basis…but Switzerland?

Just tested (I certainly hope there’s no silent blocking), and I am reaching the site.

the site mentioned is not blocked, it’s working. AFAIK Swisscom won’t block sites

According to your first post. Who confirmed to you that Swisscom is blocking this site? It is reachable from my account without any problem. A public list of sites which are blocked does not exist. However, if a site is blocked by Swisscom you would normally get a site which explains why the site is blocked. To your second post. Sites are blocked for the following reasons. - Phishing / Malware - Court decision (See http://www.inside-it.ch/articles/15215) ) - Child pornography (See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zensur_im_Internet#Schweiz) ) The links are all german but google does translate 🙂

site is back up now - it was blocked for “spamming”.

I can’t seem to surf/shop the website www.rei.com - it is a sporting goods store in the USA. I can access this site through other internet providers in Switzerland. To be more specific, I can access the site itself, but when I try to search for specific items, I get a blanked-out page where the items should be. Any advice on this? Is Swisscom blocking American retail sites? I am able to get others with no problem such as www.llbean.com. Thanks

Also search is possible. I’m using FIrefox browser delete all temporary files at your actual browser or try another one. good luck, POGO 1104

Sounds a bit like what I encountered a few months ago. A site I used was not available through home connection, but worked over VPN. Their content was offered through a major CDN, and they had recently had to rearrange servers to cope with a huge DoS attack. In the end, the source of the problem was the ADSL router’s DNS: in my LAN I had assigned it as the DNS server, and for whatever reason it (or whatever it was mirroring) was not being refreshed with the changed CDN server addresses. (This is easy to test by switching to e.g. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for DNS.) Updating the router firmware or maybe simply rebooting, can’t remember, resolved the router’s outdated data. (My router uptime is usually months, didn’t occur to check that first.)

Thanks atamar (contributor), that sounds like what is happening (although what you are describing is slightly beyond my technical ken). I believe it is something to do with the router, since the problem affects all devices in the home and multiple browsers. I found a short-term fix, which was to delete all browsing data each time I load the web page. This is very repetitive and tiresome and doesn’t fix the overall problem. The question becomes how to “fix” the router. Is there an easy way to update the firmware, as you suggested? I have tried rebooting the router, to no avail. Many thanks!

Thanks for your response. The problem exists on all devices and repeats when I launch other browsers. I believe it is some sort of glitch with the wifi router. Thanks!

Dear uappolinario

This page was blocked due to suspicion of phishing. The hoster of the website is already informed.

Kind regards

Why does Swisscom deny such blocking on their customer hotline?

This is unprofessional and intransparent.

I will cancel my contract summarily.
