Hi. Not sure if this is the right place to try this.
I have a webforum for schools that I have build to help them with their use of school software. I have a problem that some users can not access it. It shouls like "page can not be found". After much back and forward in forums it seems to not be a server issue but some providers blocking for the IP where my Server is. That is the best explenation so far.
I want to find an alternative way for them to connect. Via a proxy Server.
I want to avoid the user to change pc settings every time they want to enter the forum. On the forum start page that is on another server, that all can access i want to make a re-direct link for them that can not access directly. is that possible
I want them who can not access forum via www.dmm-support.dk
to click on a link with a proxy redirection like :
http:/proxy server //ww.dmm-support.dk
I am not sure if you can do this and if yes, not sure how to write it in the address bar to work.

Does anyone have a good idea how to get this to work

Thanks for your time reading this

Regards

If your server's ip address is being blocked, it's either because someone else on your server is doing something really bad that got everyone else banned, or there's something on your forum that's so offensive to schoolers that they're blocking it and telling other people to. Looking at your forum, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I'd move to a different server, which could mean dumping your host. You can take your domain name with you so to the outside world, it looks like nothing has changed.

People can get by an ip block with a proxy server, but that means making changes at the client. They need to tell their computer to get to your web site through some other server.

To shorten your request, what you need is Proxy Hotlinking.

So, I can provide you hotlinking option for a price.

Or, if you need me to teach, I can help you to do it yourself for a small thing in return. No cost involved.

Do a Google search for proxy hotlinking, and you may find your answer near the top of that search, for free. I have not investigated any of the methods provided in that search.
