I'm getting redirected to another webpage

Sometimes when I go to a site (whether google, Wilders, or whatever), I get redirected to some weird Chinese page. Bare in mind that I am currently living in China. Is this the Chinese internet censors' means to tracking users' surfing habits? If so, how can I circumvent this annoyance and infringement on my privacy?

Please advise.

 

maybe you could try running Pingplotter the free download is at the bottom of the page. put the address of the redirected page into it and see where pingplotter shows you are taken. i think that should work. although, maybe you are infected with something have you tried a malware scan?

you can use JAP to hide where you go, it's an anonymous proxy.

 

For starter's Pericles....

JAP, TOR, Socks Proxy, Tunneling and Stunnel - Setting up JAP and Proxomitron - Setting up Proxo, Privoxy and Tor?

Also of interest .... Setting up Tor/Proxomitron+SocksCap (How to).

The Great Firewall of China.

 

Would adding the redirected address to a HOSTS file serve my purposes?

 

This is the address btw:

221.208.174.157

I tried using that pingplotter prog, but it didn't make any sense to me.

 

I'm not familiar with how the Chinese gov't interact's with interior ISP's, but here's the information on that addy. Having had difficulty working with PingPlotter, perhap's an understanding of Netstat and DNS are what's in order.

Eric's site may also be of service to you Pericles.

"Act according to the laws from the country one is living in ...."

Good point to bear in mind Paul. I'll view that as what it is, local jurisdiction TRUMPS!

yes it's best not to break the law if you don't fully understand what you are doing, or perhaps best not to break the law at all.

however, i think this might be a legal way around if you can still do it. do your searches with google backwards that way they can't filter your requests. lol you just have to use a mirror to read everything.

Hello, I'm a Chinese living in Harbin.
My English is very poor. I hope you can know what I say.

-*-
I got the page ,too.
The page said "Merry Christmas"(before Dec 26th)
Now the new page make some advertising for CNC.

I phoned CNC (ChinaNetCom ,my ISP) to cancel this action, but they reply :"It's a new Ads Service powered by us . It's absolutely impossible to cancel . Sue anywhere ! "

Anywhere means not any place, I think.

I have no choise .There is only CNC lines to Internet in my quarter .

-*-

I think the Gateway forward my DSL Modem redirect that page.
(like this http://221.208.174.157/redir.php?gid=2&l=1136296007&c=9&n=1136335670&ref=http://www.google.com/)


HOSTS file can't block this ads. it's IP, not domain name.

I try to use IPSec rules to block this IP. But it's not work well : "IE cannot link the page" instead the ads.


I search "221.208.174.157" in google , but not helpful. Only link to this forum.
