• Can’t contact a website

    Recently I have been trying to contact a website which constantly returns the message “This site can’t be reached”. The site in question is https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/. In addition to my desktop (running Windows 10) I have a laptop, also running windows, a desktop running Linux and an iPhone and iPad, all of which react the same way. At first, I assumed that there was something wrong with the website until I found that other people were able to connect with the same website at will. I also found that when I used next door’s Broadband, with their permission, I was able to reach the site without any problem.  So, is there a problem with my modem?  It is the latest Sky Modem (perhaps a year old) and works fine with every other website that I connect with.  I have never tweaked it and can see nothing in the admin section that would interfere with any site so why this one!

    Can anyone help me please, or at least point me in the right direction to solve it.  Many thanks

      Is next door also on Sky? If not it may be Sky blocking it. (I have the same issue on Sky)

      cheers, Paul

        Next door are not on Sky so that’s a possibility.  Thanks for your comments.

      I have no problem reaching the site.
      Try using VPN/TOR browser

      Do you have a router too? Can you manage the modem settings? Have you checked to see if the domain “.in” is blocked?

        Sorry, I should have said I have a SKY router/modem (all in one).
        I have gone into Admin” but can’t find any reference to blocked sites etc. I certainly haven’t blocked any. To be honest I’m a bit inexperienced in the ways of routers but I am able to follow instructions.
        Hope this helps and thanks

          Some routers call it “web content filtering”. Others are more straightforward calling it “blocking sites” or “blocking domains”. I’m not familiar with the Sky interface so I can’t be more specific. Sorry.

      Please post the rest of the message show below the “This site can’t be reached” error to help us figure out what may be causing your issue and how to fix it.

      For example…

        server IP address could not be found
        took too long to respond
        unexpectedly closed the connection
        ??

      All I get is the normal MS screen Hmmm… can’t reach tis page. Indianvisaonline.gov.in took too long to answer.
      No other clues.
      Thanks

      I have now solved the issue by installing a VPN. Many thanks everyone for their help. I shall now attempt to close this thread.
