Many readers have reported that they have not been able to access The Oil Drum since we moved to upgraded servers on June 1. So far, we have determined that access is blocked from the European ISPs BlueWin and UPC. There are also sporadic reports of blocked readers in the United States.

Readers can circumvent this problem for the time being by using proxy servers such as Pawxy or Anonymouse.

Thanks to all of the users who responded our requests for routing information. We have passed it on to our upstream internet provider who is working to solve the problem.
