Cannot connect to www.giuspen.com #1192

Sorry, this topic is not about cherrytree itself.

I cannot connect to www.giuspen.com at all. It always timeout. I tried to connect during almost 16 hours and only once successed. I also tried 4 browser and 1 downloader, but result was the same. But if I use Opera VPN, I can connect without any problem.

Does your server or Cloudflare reject access from Japan or am I the only one to have this issue ?

Currently I can download cherrytree only from www.giuspen.com. So, this is very annouying for me.

I've been having issues connecting to various websites lately. I believe that the mass media agencies are starting to flex their muscles to slow down connections to websites that they don't approve of.

First step is to try an online proxy that reaches out of country. Of course, your VPN can do the same thing, if your endpoint is out of country. If that works, the problem is definitely your local provider.

I had a similar problem, except that it wasn't a timeout error but a "no secure connection" error. I had it with firefox, chrome and brave. I'm using a vpn, connections to vpn servers in Hong Kong and Singapore failed, but I could reach www.guispen.com when connected to a vpn server in the Netherlands. So it's unlikely that the problem is with my local provider. Maybe the host of the website is blocking certain connections?

Actually, I checked because there really is no reason for your browser to BLOCK all websites that don't use an https secure connection. They just do that to try to keep you from tripping in to a script with a seurity leak in it. However, there's no reason to think a developer of software this old would be trying to trick anyone anyway. They should ASK if you really want to connect, not tell you that you can't. A few years ago, only banks used https. It's all marketing and sales.
