Davefevs Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 One of our forum members is in Turkey and get access OTIB. I won’t name him, but when he gets sorted he can come clean. What does he need to access OTIB in Turkey? Does he need a VPN or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of cold turkey from OTIB at the moment would probably do him good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarksRobin Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 It’s blocked by the Turkish government. Should work with a VPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Welch Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 It doesn't work in the UAE either. No idea why when all other football forums do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Is that the issue? single countries blocking football forums? its been off in South East Asia for best part of 2 years. I cannot believe these places block little ole' OTIB. I think it was Tom who previously mentioned it was something to do with their host and that they would sort it... never was. Now I am on Nord VPN typing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Clik as a company has a turnover of approx £2.5m, our entire business is supplying services to the UK service industry, to the tune of some 4 millions jobs going to field engineers each week. We have no need to open our servers up to anywhere beyond necessary nor put our data and subsequently 50 odd employees livelihood at risk from the consequences of a data breach or a server being compromised. Were not a hosting company, OTIB is just a forum we’ve traditionally hosted over the years. We subsidise it’s running costs at over 2/3rds these days. It’s kept alive purely because we’ve run it for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I am sure we all appreciate Tom, would this be a good time for @Dollymarieor one of the other Mods to remind everyone of the benefits of paying their £5 subs?

OTIB surely shouldn't be struggling for funding with so many regular posters? A piddly £5 - why would any regular visitor to OTIB not become an OTIB Supporter?
