How to Fix Lanzous Cloud Not Opening in Germany

2022年1月1日 English Articles

Solution 1: Change the ‘s’ in the domain to ‘x’ or ‘i’.

This issue was first reported in March 2020, but became more severe in May 2021 when the domain http://lanzous.com was placed under clientHold by its registrar, preventing DNS resolution:

There are two types of holds: serverHold (registry-level restriction) and clientHold (registrar-level restriction). Legal or administrative restrictions usually result in serverHold.

The registrar for this domain is Alibaba Cloud, and the reason for the lock is unknown.

In the same month, http://newsmth.net was also restricted:

The registrar is Xin Net (now owned by Tencent).

Advice for website owners: avoid registrars that frequently violate ICANN rules.

Solution 2:

Cause: DNS resolution issues.

Three methods:

1. Remove ‘www.’ from the URL.

2. Remove the ‘s’ after ‘lanzous’ and follow the steps. (The latest Lanzou links seem to use lanzoui.com, so you can also change ‘s’ to ‘i’.)

3. Change ‘www’ to ‘pan’ (or any other letters/numbers; I personally use http://1.lanous.com).
