How to check if a site is blacklisted

    Hey

    Does anyone know how to check whether a site is blacklisted by any particular country. One of my sites has stopped receiving visitors from a few countries so I wanted to check to see if it has been blocked by these countries.

    Thanks for the link, but I'm not sure how it works. Would sites blocked by the Portuguese government show up?

    to be honest im not sure how many servers it checks. but if your not sure how it works, just enter your Server IP in the box and it will do a check of the most blacklisted servers i guess. hope it helps

    I doubt that you will be able to check that, sites can be blocked at ISP level or can be blocked by backbone providers of the ISPs

    Your best bet is to just ask someone from the suspected place, make note of their ISP also ask them to do a traceroute to your site so that you can confirm the place which is dropping
    your site

    the link provided above is just to check if a server is marked as spammy due to email abuse, and has nothing to do with the blocking about which you are talking about

    i dont think you will be able to check that from one place.

    your best bet is trace route as suggested by new.

    you can also use this link: traceroute . org to check quite a number of locations.

    Hope this helps
