opps Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 My friend in London UK has Starlink. Why does it block access to certain sites? I cannot access the Wayback machine unless I use a VPN. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicochetStarlink Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Many countries around the world limit access to certain Web sites for one reason or another. Lokewise, some web sites do not respond to traffic from some countries. either way, the restrictions are generally based upon your IP address. It is possible that the Wayback Machine is not available in England. Though I can’t say for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In no way is the Wayback Machine restricted in the UK (either by the site owner or ISPs ((starlink aside)) ). I have never had issues accessing it with other UK based ISPs. For some strange reason, when I try to access the site, Chrome gives an ERR_CONNECTION_RESET message.

RicochetStarlink Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 You’re well beyond my technical expertise here and I’m not quite sure the point you are making. If you’re having trouble accessing web sites that should not be restricted, your best bet is to reach out to Starlink Support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince85 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Hello, I live in France and I have been using Starlink for 2 weeks : but problem, I can not connect to a lot of sites including Microsoft outlook, my email website. The message ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE is displayed. I tried everything but nothing works. I can access all Google sites (youtube, gmail, etc.). The problem is the same on all laptops or Androids. I'm waiting for feedback from support. Did anyone have the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicochetStarlink Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 The only thing that comes to mind the possibility of geographic restrictions. However, I can’t imagine Microsoft sites being geo-restricted. Have you reached out to Starlink Support? Your questions hints that you might have already done that. That might be your best bet. It might also be worth contacting Microsoft Support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
