Re: Zoneedit now forcing ad popups
Yeah, if they just host your DNS records, they just hand out a number, no opportunity for a popup (unless they somehow start proxying all the web sites that they have DNS records for, routing the traffic through proxy servers, which could prove to be rather expensive in terms of bandwidth).

Give ya an example, show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. |

| Oh, I remember now. Its because my ISP blocks some ports, so I had to use cloaking to send requests to a specific non-standard port. Unfortunately, the pop-up is the least of my problems, ever since they made some change at zoneedit just this weekend, I can't get to my website at all even though zoneedit has the correct dynamic IP, that IP is not propagating. If I ping my address, I do NOT get the correct IP.
I'm not entirely sure if this problem of the IP not propagating has anything to do with cloaking or the new pop-up ad changes they have made at zoneedit (?) It has been more than 24 hours since the IP change... |

Perhaps your ISP is now blocking Dynamic DNS traffic? |

| Well, the problem I was having, is fixed now, but I'm not sure what I did (if anything) to fix it. I just think zoneedit was having serious problems (which is unusual, I've never had any problems with them in the past).
I also bought a "zone credit", but I am currently still seeing popups, so I'm not sure how that is supposed to work. Perhaps the IP address propagating only happened after I bought the zone credit? Again, not sure... |
