Strangely enough, I did miss it. I even scheduled time to do it before I remembered I couldn’t.

Technical difficulties involving my websites’ host made me miss two days of posts. For reasons I don’t understand, neither of my websites are visible in Japan but both can be visited and enjoyed/scoffed at outside of Japan.

(Note: I do not know what I wrote that would get both sites banned, especially since the oldest hasn’t been updated in years.)

(Note Two: This does not mean I didn’t write something that got me banned.) 

However, this morning whilst enjoying a break at work, I got the idea of trying out a virtual private network. I researched a few free ones and then sent myself the addresses. I’m still surprised I was able to access a VPN related site (as well as the TOR browser) when I can’t even access Ebay or any auction site from the network at the school where I work.

After I got home after work I installed one of the free VPNs and then, this writing being such a priority, I promptly put it aside, so to speak and played a game.

However, once I tried it, I was able to access both sites rather easily. However, I still can’t access my sites “from Japan”.

In fact, as I write this, I can’t access this page from my phone or via wi-fi.

I’m not sure what’s going on. Only one of the sites is on WordPress, so it’s not a word press issue. I’m guessing my host updated things in order to “improve” them and broke something. I may have to call them if they don’t designate a person to deal directly with me via email rather than chasing them around through auto responses.

Or, my websites have been banned in Japan.

That may become part of my marketing: “Banned” in Japan
