Hi Mike and thank you for your tutorial.
I run Win7Pro and just installed WME64…
It seems ok but it doen’t show me my internet url, simply it shows my local IP…

I already open windows firewall (for both private and public side) and I added the port forwarding rule on the router…

do you know wat else I can do?

thanks, have a nice day

You need to pay attention to this! Ive had someone steal my identity and I think it happened because a took an old pc to a council tip and someone a scanned the hard drive.

I am blocked too but my sites are not blocked by Sucuri SiteCheck nor McAfee SiteAdvisor.

How to unblock?

That’s great news David.

I did post your website briefly to my Facebook wall to test it and it worked last weekend but I was in a rush and forgot to let you know! Sorry about that. It was probably one of your unblock requests that did it.

Anyways, glad its all working for you now. Congrats.

Hi Mike,

Many thanks for letting me now that my site has been unblocked. At present everything is working normally for the first time since 2012. Was it one of the (several) Facebook unblock request links I tried that eventually worked or did you work a bit of magic on my behalf?

David.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the quick reply – guess I’ll just have to keep plugging away at Facebook. SiteAdvisor quickly admitted that they were registering a false positive and nothing else I’ve found, including Sucuri, which is effectively a ‘metascanner’ site, has flagged anything up. The last time I submitted an unblock request to Facebook (this evening) it said I could expect an email back from them but I’m not holding my breath!

The site is a plain old HTML site with nothing more offensive than a bit of harmless Javascript and a Twitter feed (which I realise is known not to be ideal but doesn’t trigger any warnings anywhere that I’ve found). Site URL is bell-tower.org.uk.

Many thanks,

David.

Hi David,

I feel you pain/annoyance.

I wasn’t that lucky in the end. After getting my domain unblocked, it was blocked again a few weeks later so I let that domain expire…

Its absolutely ridiculous there is no way to actually contact Facebook!

Ive read that a few people managed to get their domain off the blacklist by physically writing a letter to Facebook head office…

Wish I could say that I was as lucky with Facebook. Had exactly the same – caused by SiteAdvisor incorrectly blacklisting my bona fide local community website. Getting SiteAdvisor to list my site as clean only took a few days, and Sucuri lists it as completely clean – but it’s been over a year and despite repeated attempts Facebook still refuses to accept links to the domain. Any wisdom on this?
