ISP di malaysia dah mula sekat akses ke www?

Sebenarnya perkara ni dah dikesan aku sejak beberapa bulan lepas, cuma sekarang baru sempat nak aku masukkan ke dalam blog.

Pokok ceritanya adalah mudah - adakah ISP di malaysia mulai sekat akses ke laman web, so far aku perasan adalah (to be exact) - website dewasa, benarkah? mulanya aku sendiri tak sedar, sampailah beberapa kawan aku bertanyakan aku mengapa secara tiba-tiba mereka tak dapat mengakses pada beberapa website dewasa.

Bila ditanya apakah error yang diorang dapat (yes, browser cannot display the website bla bla bla) so suspect utama aku adalah DNS.

First nslookup aku untuk domain website dewasa popular menggunakan sambungan internet streamyx (yang menggunakan default DNS tm.net.my)

dan beberapa website dewasa lain dicuba pun semua DNS tak dapat resolve domain. Kebetulan masalah teknikal pada DNS server? Mari lihat nslookup satu domain menggunakan Digi broadband (sorry no printscreen, aku just ask favor from a friend via chat to paste the output for my blog, since he's using digi broadband, and yes again, i intentionally hide the domain name for his sake :P)

>nslookup  xxxxx.com




nslookup  xxxxx.com
Server:         210.48.195.133
Address:        210.48.195.133#53


Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   xxxxx.com
Address: 127.0.0.1                


Interesting huh? Misconfigured DNS? or someone intentionally redirects to loopback IP (Kepada mereka yang bukan computer literate, output di atas menunjukkan website di atas tak mungkin dapat diakses)

So aku pernah cuba the same domain for adult website on both TM and digi broadband DNS. semua result sama, either unable to resolve or pegi ke loopback IP 127.0.0.1

Kebetulan? Masalah teknikal? Jika ya mengapa ia hanya berlaku pada website dewasa sahaja? Random test pada beberapa domain lain semuanya menunjukkan DNS dapat resolve kepada respective IP tanpa masalah. Adakah ISP di Malaysia mulai membuat sekatan di aras DNS (ingat malaysia-today.com dulu juga disekat secara terang-terangan di aras DNS?)

So apakah point aku menulis topik ini di blog entry kalini? Jikalau benarpun ISP ni cuba sekat akses ke laman web dewasa (and mungkin ia satu benda yang untuk kebaikan bersama), tapi sebagai seorang professional dalam bidang komputer dan internet, aku amat tidak bersetuju dengan langkah sekatan ini (sekiranya ia betul-betul satu sekatan). Pertama sekali, aku percaya sudah termaktub dalam undang-undang bahawa kerajaan tidak akan sesekali menyekat akses ke mana-mana laman web di internet.

Dan sekiranya ini adalah inisiatif ISP itu sendiri pun, aku tetap berpendapat bahawa tindakan ini adalah tidak wajar kerana dalam undang-undang negara masih tiada klausa menyatakan bahawa sekatan akses internet adalah sah (again, sekiranya ia adalah sekatan)

Anyway, masalah ini aku dapat selesaikan dengan menukar DNS IP kepada google public DNS. Keputusannya kesemua website dewasa kembali dapat resolve/diakses semula secara biasa di komputer yang sama.

Jika anda menghadapi masalah akses ke sesuatu website seperti yang aku sebutkan di atas, anda dinasihatkan supaya set komputer/router anda ke google public DNS, iaitu 8.8.8.8 atau 8.8.4.4. Sekiranya anda tidak tahu bagaimana, link di bawah menjelaskan semuanya secara detail langkah demi langkah:

hey you little creature

hey you little creature
remember the time you spoke to me for the first time?
i keep telling myself "is this is real?"
yes it is
what are the odds stumbling upon you again in the boundless world

hey you little creature
remember the time you spoke to me for the first time?
i was actually trying to say hi to you first
wonder why a simple hi seemed to be so difficult
but i'm glad you did
and that is my confession

then how funny a small thing like you changes everything
butterfly effect
i usually hate bugs, but you seemed to be a nice one
so i let you in harmless
and you choose to lay your nest right to my heart
and everything just doesn't stop there

you were so delicate my tears fell thru my yours cheek;
you taught me how to sing the beautiful melody of the heart;
you hold and guide me thru the path in a garden where birds chirping
and flowers blooming everything is so peaceful, quiet and mesmerizing;
you make me wants to become a better person
every morning i woke up when you whisper the three sacred words;
hey you my little creature, you've waken up the best part of me

then i wish i could return you my little creature a favor;
to let you know i am not a mute alien
that you should be afraid of;
but you are so gentle it hurts you in many times i tried
how could i ever have the heart to hurt you
my sweet little creature, i knew i don't
but it seemed like i always did every time i tried
and it hurts me too, you have no idea how i punished myself

but then again my little creature,
you wipe away all my fears of guilt and sorrow by a simple hush
and took my hands again to catch me from falling off the path
you are such a wonderful thing i don't want to let you go
and i will die trying before i do yes this i promise you

hey you little creature
you have no idea how thankful i am
to have you around and to dance along together
forever for the rest of our ages, whatever left of it
you are the best thing in my life i wish i would never forget

hey you little creature
i used to wonder why me
a spoilt brat with no fancy life nor beautiful story from the past
then you told me that you don't have the answer
you just did, without any reason
and then i guess i have no reason either, to be happy
to smile and laugh and cry on every moments
we spent together; and every time
when you whisper the three sacred words
yes i do, me too
i love you... so much
my little creature
