I was in Japan and couldn't connect to I-boats. Kept coming back "no connection". Is this by design?

You're both kind of right. Best bet when you see this kind of message is to use a Proxy server. I used to have to do that in Australia, then we loosened up. I will say that Japan has not been a problem, but Asia has been, so there are some very large "blocks" of IP addy's in those areas . . . Sorry :(

On a forum that I help moderate, we practically have all of the Philippine Islands blocked.......

I had no problem when I was in Hong Kong recently.

We do have certain blocks on locations. I don't believe Japan is on the list. However we have had an increase of spammers recently and certain blocks were put in place, it may have affected certain areas of Japan.

Is there such a thing as an IP map? Kind of like a zip code map?
