Browser-widget geoblocking and IP - livecode

When using the browser-widget of Livecode I have the following problems:
as target URL I use "www.tagesschau.de" and when I select the live stream I get the following message:
"Running this clip needs Flash-Plug-in up from Version 10.2"
The other error mess is:
"this video cannot be shown, due to Geoblocking it can accessed only from germany"
This means that browser shows up in the URL with a different IP than mine in the router. On my host-system everything works well. How can this happen without VPN?
Perhaps the properties of browser can be changed somewhere in the livecode-system. Where to put in the Flash-plugin and where to correct the IP?
Who can help? I need this functionality!
Thanks

ngrok does not load NodeJS app from outside (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT)

ngrok is a program with which you can make a local tunnel, it generates a temporary domain for you so you can redirect people to your local content, and also use https via localhost.
https://ngrok.com/
localtunnel is just another alternative.
So I have set up either ngrok and a localtunnel but both show a white page with only the HTML loading and not css or js when loaded outside of my network (with data plan for example)
The problem is nothing gives an error, the only thing I can see is ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT when using a hotspot.
Everything works within my own network.
I have tried turning off the firewall already but it seems to make no difference, also tried looking with the chrome remote debugger but it just disconnects when I load the url.
Thing is when I go to https:// on the ngrok url I get a bunch of mixed content errors, but not when I go to http. Seem illogical to me that it would default to http when using a https link... all of my script/style tags are relative paths.
Anyway so far this is only thing that I can figure out, any ideas on what might cause this?
So it's either
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
or
Blocked loading mixed active content
or both?
So I go it working now by changing the base href.
<base href="http://yoururl.ngrok.io">
And also changing some paths in my config to either /app/ or ../ respectively, but most of these were already set correctly and all I did was revert them after changing the base url.
As far I understand now the problems only really start to occur when connecting to the url through a data plan and not wifi.
Some random image paths in css/js will not load, and it also appears to behave differently on Firefox and Chrome for some reason.
Problem is I cannot keep testing this indefinitely as data will obviously run out some time and I have no reliable way of debugging the console errors on mobile...
In conclusion it works on a "normal" connection now (ie Wifi/Cable) but not on data.

How to use domain name instead of local host IP with PHP

I'm experimenting some PHP code with a local IP address http://192.168.33.10.
When I was using the address in a form of number (192.168.33.10) it was working fine (see image 1), but when I try to use a domain name "dev.dotinstall.com", it reaches an error page (see image 2).
I learned that you can use a name like "dev.dotinstall.com" instead of IP address by editing hosts file, so I edited it adding a line "192.168.33.10 dev.dotinstall.com" at the end of the hosts file (see image 3).
The error page says "The fact that you are seeing this page indicates that the website you just visited is either experiencing problems or is undergoing routine maintenance.", but I don't know what the problem is.
Any idea why this is happening?
You are correct that you need to add the URL into the hosts file. Make sure you have saved it correctly (with administrator rights) and the port is correct.
This is not enough though, you will need to set up a virtual host for Apache as well and then restart Apache. If you only set the URL in the hosts file, then Apache will not know what to do with it. There are plenty of materials on setting up a virtual host for Apache on Windows if you search for that.

403 Forbidden - ONLY from my computer

Problem: when I visit particular url the site goes white and the title of the tab says "403 Forbidden" and nothing else happens.
I wanted to ask the forumees here about this weird problem when I, and I solely, cannot access one particular website, until I've run right into very same problem with yet another site just now.
Apparently the problem lies with my computer, and my computer only.
The site IS accessible by everyone except of me.
I cleaned the cache, removed all sh!t files, restarted the modem and the computer couple of times already, to no avail.
I can access those sites via my phone, I can access them from anywhere else but! my computer.
Has anyone stumbled upon such a problem?
There could be a variety of reasons behind this. Your browser, a browser extension, IP address shitlisted for some reason (usually spamming), some sort of virus that gets detected by remote antiviruses and block your connections, some adware or spyware that rewrites your requests...
It's also possible that if you only have problems with those two websites and especially if you did something you were not supposed to, maybe they just blocked you out.
So try using a proxy server or a VPN like strongvpn. If it works then at least you know it's got something to do with your IP address.

After moving server and IP, stylesheets and other resources not found (404 errors in fiddler)

I have moved an Orchard CMS site from one host and server to another host and server. The IP address is obviously different.
All the files have been correctly copied and the correct html is rendered.
However, all the styles sheets produce a 404 error. I repeat that the files are where they should be.
Indeed, any other resource, such as images or stylesheets produce the same problem. Again, the files are all in place.
Can anyone think what could be causing this. Nothing has changed other than the server and IP.
I have another orchard site on the same IP and server that is working fine. However, it was not moved from a different server.
I ping for the site and it comes up with the correct IP address for the new server
EDIT:
Not sure that this is Orchard specific, although something related to Orchard's themes and how they work could be to blame... But I really can't see what.
It sounds much more like an IIS issue.
Can you get the CSS files, by entering their URLs into the browser address-bar directly?
Try "Copy image location" or from the Image Properties, of one of the failed images. Again, can you get this if you enter it direct into the browser?
Check the URL of failed resources, against the URL of working HTML resources or dynamic pages. make sure there are no differences in webapp path or context..
You'll also need to try Ctrl-R reloading.
There could also possibly be some caching in the way.. that might be holding the "404" or "not found" results, even after the content has moved. Try & shutdown/ or force refresh all server & proxy caches.
The server people got back to me. They changed the "website to 4.0 Integrated Pipeline mode." and all now works. Go figure.
I am sure I had checked that it was in Integrated Pipeline mode, but hey ho.

why servername:port does not work why localhost:port in node.js works?

I am node newbie. I have a windows server, where I am running node.js with webserver.js. Start the node with webserver.js. Fireup the IE and when I tried localhost:port/index.html, the page shows properly in the IE. Now if I change the localhost to servername:port/index.html, IE is unable to display the page ('IE cannot display the webpage with you can try diagnose connection problem). Is there anything I need to enable in node so it is available outside localhost? I have jenkins runs on the same server, I did not do anything and it shows up properly with the server name. Just curious.
Thanks
my problem was that, I used the code from the link, in the link it was use IP address, I changed it to server name, now I am able to hit the link using both server and proper url. Hope this might help others. I did not change to use netstat though.
