I've been trying to connect to their website for the past two days but it seems that it's not working...I just wanted to check the new toy camera edition, anyone having the same problem?

It's coming up for me at the moment, but I always have to remind myself that it's www.squaremag.org and not .com.

Yes, I always fall into the .com trap! I have checked it this morning and it seems to be fine from here.

I'm also going straight from their link on FB but still nothing, the address is correct. This is really strange... I wanted to check the toycamera camera issue and see if one of my pics were published

Works from here in Canada too.

I discovered tahat when a site fails to work in one location, using the onion router usually makes it work since it forces the computer to use a different routing system.

The toy issue isn't up yet. It says March, but, not when. There's nothing on their Facebook page either.

Really weird I can't log on on the page from here...
Thanks Phil!

Thanks Francois... I'll give Thor a try.

Got in touch with the guys thrugh FB and they sais everything is fine with their website, it's funny because i've seen the magazine before a thousand times!

I've been having similar problems with the FPP podcasts and the Podbean server. I complained to them and things are still the same. Their site keeps sending me a 404 error when I try and get the MP3. But using TOR, I manage to get it.

I've downloaded Thor but still not working Francois. Is there an especific setting I have to do?

Nothing special to do. Just click on the app and wait.
It's a portable version of Firefox with a special proxy that uses different routes to get to your computer... usually, it just works off the bat. No config needed.

Maybe you can get their RSS feed...
Here's the feedburner link

Or, you can use the Google cache

Just managed seeing the page via Tor Francois... but man! how slow it gets?

Francois · « **Reply #12 on:** March 04, 2013, 09:03:34 PM »

Tor can get to be pretty slow. It takes your traffic, sends it through random proxy servers around the world and then to the server and back again.

Just to give you an idea, your request that originates in Brazil might go through the UK before it makes it to the US. Very secure but also very slow.

Makes sense and I shouldn't complain... what a service! I can probably watch the Match of the day from here now

There are also other tricks...

UNBLOCK Hulu, Pandora, Netflix, CBS, Fox, BBC iPlayer TV, and iTV from any country!

Thank you so much for that Francois! I was looking for something like that and you've recommended just what the doctor ordered! Now... somehow Tor is not opening anything since yesterday so I might have to rely on you guys to see if my images were selected

Mauricio, I sent a bunch in as well, so I'll be keeping an eye on the site!
