I just finished chatting with bodis support and i was told the china ban on their ip servers has been on since mid-january 2018.
I told them about my recent china traffics and they seem not to understand why exactly i m getting that
This might have already been mentioned, but not all Chinese traffic is affected by these bans. Notably, Hong Kong isn't affected, but there are other ways to get around it, too. It's pretty easy to verify whether a given IP address or domain is blocked; if Bodis says it's blocked, it's almost certainly blocked. Also, just because some of Bodis' ads are blocked doesn't mean all are blocked.
As a test, I did
a reverse check for domain names with NS records of ns1.bodis.com
. I picked a domain that appeared to be displaying Bodis ads:
000102.com
. I confirmed that the site was loading ads from Google AdSense. The script it loaded was
http://www.google.com/adsense/domains/caf.js
. I
confirmed that it's blocked in China. Several other Bodis-parked domains I tested, including
hal.biz
, appeared to be using the same script, which is undoubtedly blocked in China. Bodis certainly has other providers, but that's just an example.
I just rechecked IP of the domains where Autoredirect is enabled - it is absolutely the same IP (the same parking server) as for the domains in standard mode.
So I don't understand anything.
Most webpages load resources from multiple IP addresses, not just the IP address of the domain itself. Just because the domain and IP address of the website are accessible doesn't mean that all scripts and ads will be.
tracking.bodis.com
, which is probably used to track views, doesn't appear to be blocked. Though I can't guarantee this is the case, it's theoretically possible that page views are being logged even when ads are blocked. I haven't tested this. While in some circumstances it's possible to detect whether ads are blocked and take that into account when logging page views, it's dependent on the scripts and how things are blocked, so it may be out of Bodis' control.
