Any one who could not get on marks site now able to?
Still nothing for me
-
Couldn't get on last week, seems ok now.
-
i still can't get on from various computers got on once with iPhone but not again :'(
-
i'm back on ;D ;D ;D
-
nup - still cannot do! I hope he watches this forum ;D
-
Being the technology king of the Hunter Valley, I just don't get why it can be available to some and not to others when it's been available to all for so long.
I also don't know whether to blame the labor party, the boat people or maybe global warming.

-
Has any one who can get on told him the problems in NZ and Auz and asked him if it will be fixed?? Then post reply on forum.
Zane ,yeah probably global warming
-
It's weird, I get on every day with no problems.

bazza ... it's your newly elected prime minister censorship policy..... he has classified it as porn ;D
-
Download Hola and change your IP address to USA then it works for me. You can clean all your cookies might help as well. If you dont understand me google it 8)
-
I haven't been able to get on for 3 weeks, tried 3 different computers.
-
Perhaps its a conspiracy driven by our wives (or husband in Joans case).....
-
If you can't get on and need to go through a proxy server just google that type in the web address done I can't get it on my computers for some reason but I can through a proxy site.

So if you do an office job you can use a proxy site to get past the blocked sites like face book and porn if you feel the need to look at that at work saves you needing a usb stick. ;D
-
i changed Zero and for some reason i'm back on...this forum took a loooong time to load today which made me nervous

-
still cant get on, how's every one else fairing??
-
still no luck for me.
-
Only able to on my phone which makes no sense
-
Every time someone says they can't get onto Marks they remind me so I go and have a look.
Never had a problem.
Just checked it now and got straight on.
Timing maybe?
-
I have not been able to get on for a while either. He did say that the site got hacked & that often corrupts address books & links etc so maybe thats whats wrong :-\
-
I hadn't been having any issues until today - page wont load now. :P
-
just tried MARK'S , working as we "speak".
Kt.
-
Haven't been able to get on for a month now......and 3 different computers.
-
I found a while back it can be your server , I was using blink for the net and I couldn't get onto markswapmeet at all but when I switched to Telstra markswapmeet worked .
But I have been able to get onto markswapmeet lately .
-
Still can't get on either.
I'm guessing he upped his security which has blocked out a lot or ISP's
Has anyone told him?
He may be able to wind his security back a notch
-
Geoff I told him and he sent me site to tell me my ISP number
then sent him that-he's passing on to his server to allow it
-
I haven't been able to log on for at least a month. Thought it was just me, but maybe not ;D
Stan.
-
I can get on OK.
-
Hmm, logged on easy as today when out and about , now logging on via home is veeerrry slow, did load but took about a minute, the same for logging in ...about a minute but did work.
Kt.
-
Same here now. Just started in last day or two. My iPad won't connect to the Swapmeet website. A server not responding error message comes up. Guess the server upgrade has a few teething problems.
-
mark has blocked the pacific regon due to a virus threat thats why we cant get on , he said to me send him my isp number and he will allow me back on the site
-
If thats the case can someone supply his email so we can give our ISP numbers to get back on :)
-
>:( >:(
Gave him info still cant get on >:( >:( >:( >:(
Maybe if enough people contact him, he is help full
Mark = [email protected]
-
fugg me,3 pages,the sky is falling,the sky is falling, :D, :P
-
Look it is not hard to change your IP address which makes me wonder why he bothering to block some as any basic hackers does it anyway. Download Hola change your IP to USA for just his site and works NP.
-
I thought someone in Aust. must have pissed him off big time.
Doesn't OZVMX have a free trade agreement with Marks ;D
-
Not sure if you guys got this email but thought i would post it for you
An important message from VintageMX.com!

Recently a vulnerability was discovered in computers running Unix/Linux
operating systems. The decision was made to immediately shut down
inbound traffic from out of the country. This may have prevented you
from getting to the Swapmeet. Now that the vulnerability has been
patched, we are carefully opening up only those networks that are
necessary.
If you are having any problems seeing www.vintagemx.us we want to get
you back onto our site immediately.
Please go to www.whatsmyip.org and send us the numbers you see at the
top of the page. We'll work quickly to open up those IPs.
My apologies for the problem and as always, thanks for using Mark's
Vintage Swapmeet.

Had an email yesterday from Mark asking for my ip address to allow access as it was basically overseas addresses that were blocked, hopefully every overseas member got the same & it's sorted out quickly
-
I got the same email from Mark. Haven't tried to get on yet though.
-
How do you find ones IP address?
-
Please go to www.whatsmyip.org and send us the numbers you see at the
top of the page. We'll work quickly to open up those IPs.

Wow! Thanks :-)
-
I received the e-mail too but still can't get on as yet but I appreciate him trying.
But, a world wide web that only America can see? well, only in America ;D
Letting everyone on individually seems like a slow and painful way to fix it and it only lets on those that are currently registered, newcomers won't know the site exists because it won't load for them.
-
So if you have a dynamic IP address - this system is useless... unless you do it every time you reboot your system.... >:(
-
Got the email from Mark as well but haven't had any of the issue some of you have. Always been able to log on to the swap meet. Must be lucky.

google first, then a page will come up, then click on it and it will open
-
I have reverted to the IP address lookup and email request, through absolute frustration.
As someone who works in the IT industry I have to call bullshit on Marks (or who ever owns the site) website hosting provider.
They are either inbreds who are ultra... Conservative or something very dodgy is going on with their business model or technical imfrastructure and they are making up bull shit for limiting traffic to his site.
A so called Linux vulnerability, while incredibly rare (unless Bill gates has brought them) and unlikely should be ok if they have a basic firewall and DMZ in place. Something that your average Australian small business has folks.
Again If mark is reading this then I sincerely suggest you quickly change host and open the site back up to the rest of the world.... Before the whole thing falls over and before you go crazy with email requests...
-
Well I see my e-mail with my IP address that I sent to Mark has bounced back as...
5.4.7 - Delivery expired (message too old) '[Errno 61] Connection refused'
Trying to view the site gets the same old story...
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
-
Yep, my email bounced back today too, with the same error. Looks like AUS is off-line for Marks now. :-\
-
Just checked out all the items for sale for 17/11/2014 no problem from here in Perth. Im not logged into their site.. just viewing as a visitor. Perhaps if you stay logged out and clear your cookies etc.. you can have a good peek at whats for sale, then phone if you really need something.

Yep - still no luck getting on - and have just reformatted and reloaded my OS as well because it was needed (in case there were any nasties there anyway). Bit pissed as I was one of the guys that contributed to the new server setup and now can't get on!!
-
Just type into google "free proxy server "-
then select a site- and then type in the web address www.vintagemx.us/ into the area in the proxy server site, and you will then be able to get on to marks site website men.
Rosco its all those lady boy websites you frequent causing you to be blocked !!!
Ps I dont like you either ;D
-
Craig - what's a lady boy - isn't that simply doubling your chances of a date!
PS - glad you realise ;D
-
thanks Craigy - works well

It's not a matter of logging in or out, the page just won't load to be able to look at anything.
Can't be forked going through proxy servers or whatever, it's a web page, you type in the address and then look at it.
I suspect that those that can get the site maybe have an ISP that has US connections
-
I did the poxy server thingamajig today and it worked, don't know if I have to go through it everytime, I emailed Mark last week and nothing come of it. The US economy will go bankrupt within 6 months without the Australasian billionaire VMXers not buying.....they will be jumping out of buildings in Wall St like the 1920's all over again.

Well there goes that theory, I'm with iprimus too!
-
I went through the proxy server as Craigy advised - then saved as a shortcut - so now it is no different than how I got there previously - don't know the difference and don't worry about the proxy server thingy Geoff.
-
You're welcome men :D
-
Gave him my IPS # and few days later no problem again
;D ;D
