Hi enterinx,

Unfortunately on our free hosting, we implement country restrictions as a way of limiting the large amount of abuse we receive on our free hosting. For further information, please see this thread.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Because you're in a restricted country and you haven't registered before the restriction was put in place, there is no fair way of obtaining a free hosting account. If you do try to get around it (not saying you would) and get figured out then your account could get suspended as soon as it is found in the wild for bypassing the restriction.

If your current ISP's IP 'country code' is not on x10hosting's "Whitelist" -:- or you are using a proxy -:- or you are using VPN -:- or you are using something like TOR --- you CAN NOT setup or open a x10hosting's free-hosting account -- this is a computer (system) setting and staff can not bypass (override) it

NOTE: This restriction is NOT about who or what YOU are - but is about the IP (Internet Protocol) address you are using - see --> [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address ]

It is possible to get around the restriction with a proxy (includes TOR) or a VPN which is set up in a whitelisted country BUT as I said in my previous post, it won't last for long. enterinx has said 'Indian users' which means that it is most likely that he is not using any of the above.

Probably the only way allowed is to be in that whitelisted country and to have that IP which is whitelisted.

You post is erroneous...
x10hosting test for you using a proxy or TOR or VPN or others - when your ISP's IP 'country code' is on the "Whitelist"

So they don't do checks by IP? If that server (Proxy or VPN) is hosted in that whitelisted then the client COULD end up being detected being in that country. I would really like to see what you mean here, as you do know a lot about X10.

This has gone far enough off the original subject that I'm intervening now; if you do end up bypassing the country restriction using tor, vpn, proxy, or the like, we will find it, and it's grounds for immediate and permanent suspension once we do, regardless of content hosted.

Revealing the methods of which we use to identify said proxies would reduce our ability to combat the abusers since they would know some of the methods we use to find them, ergo we are unable to reveal this information. With bdistler also not being staff I'm not sure he'd actually know the answers to how we identify the proxies and whatnot, but it shouldn't be revealed even if he does. With the original question well and truly answered, I am closing this down.
