Apparently Snafzg ran into a bit of a SNAFU (har har) with his blog, thegreenskin.com, in the sense that alot of Asian readers have trouble accessing his blog. So if you can’t get to The Greenskin website or know anyone who can’t, please use/pass these instructions below.
- Find out your IP address (http://whatismyip.com)
- Perform a tracert on the domain from your command prompt (”tracert thegreenskin.com”) and you’ll eventually notice it only outputs * symbols from a certain point onward
- Write down the country you can’t access the site from
Once you have all this information, please send it in an email to snafzg@gmail.com and I will share it with my Web host. This information isn’t overly sensitive, but I assure you that I will share it with no other person(s).
And if you’re not a very technical person, below are some detailed instructions for step #2 on Windows machines:
- press the start button
- select Run…
- type in “cmd” without the quotes
- a black shell window should open - type “tracert greenskin.com” in there, again without the quotes
- let it run; once the traceroute ends, right click somewhere inside the window and select mark
- highlight all the output text
- hit your enter key to copy the text (note that ctrl+c might not work)
- paste the output in a place of your choice
- send it to the email address above
- ???
- profit!

Thanks for the information. :)
