A website I am trying to access is unreachable
Solution- Censorship
Many countries that practice Internet censorship are 'kind' enough to display a warning or a reason to the user when a banned website is being requested. In other circumstance your request may simply result in a 'Page Not Found' error, or the browser will keep spinning and eventually time out with another error message. There could be several reasons for this situation to consider, before claiming with certainty that the site is indeed censored.
- You made a mistake in the site's name (perhaps omitted or added 'www' when its not necessary)
- Your computer's network configuration is not working. Try opening other websites or http://74.125.224.72 (Google's search page by IP). If nothing works - check your computer's settings.
- Try to open the site from http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com If that works, then the site is functioning and is likely censored (not accessible) from your location/country.
Your first port of call should be the Herdict project from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. Here you can test the site's accessibility from different countries and whether other users have reported similar blockages. If that site is blocked, please see

- The website loads but is unrecognisable - it looks like another site
