Forum URL: Soxprospects.comFor several weeks now some of the links in the forums do not work for me. I tried doing that with a completely different internet provider with the same result. When it doesn't work, it's always a link to comsync.lijit.com/A guess on my part is that comsync isn't set up for the Philippines which is when I live. Please fix, thanks The forum I use is Soxprospects.com Ray

Thanks for the help. Regarding using an incognito window, that doesn't work either.
I don't think it's proboards, I've had access to SoxProspects for a long time now. It's only when I click a link that is comsync. Lately, that includes some of the the tabs at SoxProspects.
Super thanks to Dominic you are obviously much more computer savvy than me. LOL, I just want to use the forum I've been a member of for about 15 years.

I tried again from an incognito widow. It goes in and I can also log in but when I click a different tab, I get the same error.
This site can’t be reached Check if there is a typo in comsync.lijit.com.
If spelling is correct, try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

There's a possibility that there is some automatic malware protection in the mix here especially since lijit.com has been targeted in the past by hijackers. It could be your local device protection software or upstream (your ISP) What is Lijit.com?Lijit.com is part of an advertising service that website publishers can use to generate revenue on their sites. Unfortunately, there are malicious programs that are redirecting users to these Lijit.com ads without the permission of the publisher in order to generate revenue. When Lijit.com redirects a browser to an advertisement, the ads are typically for unwanted browser extensions, surveys, adult sites, online web games, fake software updates, and unwanted programs ...[ read more]

IPOPHL’s Voluntary Site Blocking Rules Take Effect 14 January 2024First voluntary site blocking mechanism in Asia-Pacific; second in the world The Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (“IPOPHL”) Rules on Voluntary Administrative Site Blocking (“Site Blocking Rules”) or Memorandum Circular No. 2023-025 dated 20 September 2023, which allows the blocking of pirate websites by internet service providers (“ISP/s”) became effective on 14 January 2024 after its publication last 14 November 2023. ...
Upon a finding of piracy, the Supervising Director or the Deputy Director General of the IPOPHL shall issue a Request to the ISP/s to take one or more of the following steps to disable access to the pirate website: - Domain Name System (“DNS”) blocking with respect to all Domain Names where the infringing online location operates;
- IP address blocking or re-routing with respect to static IP addresses for infringing online locations;
- Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) blocking of the target online location and their domain names; or
- Any other alternative technical means for disabling access.
The Site Blocking Rules also contain a mechanism to prevent a pirate website from circumventing any Request by changing its Domain Name or IP Address. To implement the Site Blocking Rules, IPOPHL has signed: (1) a Memorandum of Understanding with ISPs, namely Globe Telecom, Inc., Smart Communications, Inc., PLDT, Inc., Sky Cable Corp. and DITO Telecommunity Corp., wherein the ISPs have committed to willingly block pirate websites upon IPOPHL’s request; and (2) a Memorandum of Agreement with the National Telecommunications Commission, which has regulatory supervision over ISPs.
IPOPHL will also serve the request to the administrator of the website complained of, but in case the contact details of the administrator cannot be found, the request will be posted on IPOPHL’s website, and this will act as the due notice to such administrator. The website owner, administrator or their authorized representative has five calendar days from receipt of the request or publication thereof to oppose the issuance of the request. For the ISPs’ part, they have 48 hours from the receipt of the request to implement an efficient and effective site blocking mechanism to block their subscribers’ access to the website complained of. Afterwards, the ISPs have a duty to submit a report to the IPOPHL on the action taken to implement the request. Nonetheless, the ISPs may object or request for the modification of the request within the same period. If the ISPs do not act on the request, the IPOPHL will report it to the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) within three days from the lapse of the 48-hour window for NTC’s appropriate action. ISPs are protected under the safe harbor provision of the Site Blocking Rules. The ISPs, in complying with the Site Blocking Rules in good faith, are protected from any administrative, criminal or civil proceedings, if the following conditions are present: - The ISP does not have actual knowledge, or is not aware of the facts or circumstances from which it is apparent, that the making, publication, dissemination, or distribution of such material is unlawful or infringes any rights subsisting in or in relation to such material;
- The ISP does not knowingly receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the unlawful or infringing activity; and
- The ISP does not directly commit any infringement or other unlawful act and does not induce or cause another person or entity to commit any infringement or other unlawful act and/or does not benefit financially from the infringing activity or unlawful act of another person or party.³
“Telcos are hereby ordered to block or deactivate domains or Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), TinyURLs, Smart Links and/or QR Codes emanating from malicious sites based on existing database culled from government agencies such as the NTC, National Privacy Commission, Department of Trade and Industry, law enforcement agencies, subscriber reports and those generated from machine learning or artificial intelligence,” the regulator said. The NTC also directed telcos to submit a written report of compliance to the agency on or before September 16, 2022. Globe Telecom said the NTC’s directive will institutionalize the fight against spam and text fraud. “Globe has long been blocking spam and scam text messages we detect, including those containing malicious URLs or links. This is part of our ongoing effort to filter out dangerous SMS to protect our customers,” the Ayala-led telco said. “We will coordinate closely with the NTC to come up with new solutions to further protect customers against online fraud,” it added. Globe reiterated its call on all stakeholders to heighten vigilance and take proactive steps to support industry efforts against escalating threats. Adel Tamano, DITO Telecommunity Chief Administrative Officer, said his company is supporting the initiative of NTC to protect the public from phishing, smishing, “quishing,” and other forms of illegal activities. “We will comply with the NTC’S directive,” Tamano said. In a fresh memorandum of understanding, signed by the Government's Intellectual Property Office, Internet providers agree to voluntarily block sites that are deemed to be copyright infringing; no court order needed.
Hollywood’s ‘Watching’The new administrative site-blocking scheme is a Philippine endeavor, but the efforts were closely watched by Hollywood’s Motion Picture Association, which is mentioned as a partner. Earlier this year, there were reports that the MPA signed an agreement with IPOPHL to develop a “rolling site-blocking regime” with the primary focus to disrupt access to pirate sites. That sounds similar to the agreement just announced. All in all, the Philippines is making steady progress in its anti-piracy battle, joining more than forty other countries around the world with its blocking program. Interestingly, site blocking is not a viable option yet in the United States, Hollywood’s home turf.

It's only the links that are an issue. That legislation is designed for sites like PirateBay.com and SoxProspects has no remotely similar issues.

Similar: links in post don't work (also based in the Philippines) I still contend that all ISPs wishing to do business within the Philippines will have to comply to reduce liability to themselves, given the way the law is worded (I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice). I will assume you are using a Chrome browser or Chromium variant. Go to Settings> Privacy and Security, then the Safe Browsing category. Scroll until you find the Secure DNS option and make sure to enable it (choose Cloudflare as the provider for now). This should encrypt your DNS requests so the ISPs cannot snoop on where you are going and hopefully circumvent any blockage. Proboards Admin are employees of Proboards Edit
"Managed by organization" indicates the organization that owns the device may have disabled changes to this setting or an installed security application has restricted changes to this setting via an Operating System policy. ( DoH Group Policy)

LOL, I'm not overly technical, it took me a while to find where Chrome moved their settings.
