Also for quite some time the DroidScript wiki has been hosted on their server.
This has appeared to work reasonably well except that a few users in Eastern Europe and Asia complained of difficulty in accessing the wiki.
I have been advising those users to access the wiki via a proxy.
Then I got a report that one user in North America (specifically Mexico) was also getting problems accessing the wiki directly and could also not access it via the proxy.
When I attempted to access the wiki via the proxy, I found that I am no longer able to reach it that way either.
So I raised a support ticket and, as expected, received a prompt reply.
It read:
Our servers to not permit connection from/via proxy servers. Also, for security reasons many 'high risk' IP ranges are blocked by default.As usual, they were as helpful as they could be, they went on to say
We may be able to unblock the odd IP from the high risk range, if you can assure us that the IP is static and in use by a trusted user/business.But unfortunately, I am unable to give such assurances.
So it seems my host no longer fits my needs.
Don't get me wrong, I completely understand that a service offering shared hosting wants to make sure that security is as tight as possible.
I shall probably be begging the developers of DroidScript to host the wiki before long as the only real-world alternatives that are cheap enough and offer whole-world access include advertisements.
