CAF blocked in Singapore IP?

Hi Admin,
---------------------------------------------------------
Refer to the attached screenshot, I tried accessing
createaforum.com in Singapore, but it returns an error with a
Block Reason: "GEO-IP Filter Alert", Connection Initiated from
Country: Singapore.
I want to access a forum: thaiamuletforum.createaforum.com and
it also does not load up successfully.
Could you kindly help to check what might have happened?
Regard,
Johnny

Yup, we have been getting this error since yesterday too. I have
escalated to the Support Team, awaiting for their revert. I
suspect their SSL cipher suites were not negotiated successfully
for use on browser, and they somehow had Singapore's IP
addresses being on their Geo-IP block too.

So, I am trying to wrap my head around this. :-\
Are forums that were created by people who live in the countries
listed above, now all inaccessible to the admins and their forum
members within those countries?

Yes if they don't have a vpn.

I will let China, Hong Kong and Signapore back on and see how it
goes next couple of days but if they overload the services I
will be forced to block again...
