Hacking Indonesia Porn Gambling Website Block
Yeah you are not alone!
I normally use Smart Telecom as my internet provider. I don't get any blocks at all till now, so I didn't really bother. But as I use WiGO currently as a trial user, I got really pissed. WiGo such a really fast internet provider which you can enjoy watch streaming movie without buffering. Coz of the blocking, I can't access them!
I used to block my office from any accesses to high bandwidth websites using proxy server. So I was thinking they doing it the same way. For me, this is the proper way to do it. It's hardly hacked. I started thinking (just thinking) to get a cheap but fast virtual server to build a proxy. But before I do that, I remembered one project called Nawala Project, which currently use by Blackberry Service in Indonesia to do this blocking. The blocking is done by dns server. It's a good technique for kids! I thought and hope that WiGO using the same kind blocking.
and what.. Well oh well.. Lucky me! Save my money! WiGO is using this type of blocking. I'm not sure with other ISP, dont have any accesses to them. Please let me know.
So how it works?
Computer is connecting using what it's called IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.1). Dns server is used to translate the address into IP (numbers) (e.g. google.com to 74.125.39.99). So when you type google.com to your browser, it goes into dns server asking what the ip address is, and then go to that ip address asking for the page.
This is the only reason we need dns server. Since the blocking is done by dns server, we just need to change the dns server, don't we? In one condition: WiGO is allowing it. WiGO can forward any dns connections to their dns server. English: we can't change the dns server. But what a lucky day! WiGO don't do that.
So, how it's done?
Simple! Basically, just change your dns server to any public dns server. One of them is google public dns. Please follow their instruction how to use their dns server here: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html

Franchised minimarket from open competition perspectives
Futhermore, from my experience, I can't propose a license if I don't have the actual shop. So in other word, I have to open the shop before applying the license. Again I strongly believe, since they are franchised minimarket which have so many branches around Indonesia, they know these licenses requirement better than anyone else in the business.
I am sure it's not about the licenses. In fact, similar businesses in the area of minimarket scare they will get broke. Well it's kinda true also. This issues have been propagated by someone for some reasons. Let's leave them for now.
Let's look at which will benefit more. Open competition always give lots benefit to end consumer. One good example is what happen in telecommunication market. Since Indonesia let others to compete with the only one company telkom, we have cheaper deal, good customer services and good quality of the products. More companies mean more jobs and more taxes. If we look at PLN, expensive, no customer services, quality? You bet! But now since Mr. Dahlan came in, it feels that they are on the right track. I'm one of his fans. Let's us pray and hope!
Radius affecting by the minimarket won't be so far since shopping in minimarket is not entertaining. In most cases, people know what they wanna buy before entering the shop and get out as soon as they find what they're looking for. So let's say 2 km radius. Outside this radius will find other minimarkets or shops to shop. So how many people do you thing will suffer? I don't think it will be many. May be 2 similar shops within this radius. How many people will get the benefit? Plenty!
People around will get the benefit from the cheaper price and other promotions, shows, etc. Government will get more taxes especially the 10% PPN, VAT or GST. Mostly similar shops don't pay this tax. And this tax should benefit more people somehow. Staff which normally local people get better training and opportunities to improve their career such as supervisor, store manager, area manager and so on.
So so so.. More advantages than the disadvantages right? Let's the market be free and open.. It will benefit more in the LONG RUN.. One more thing, please KICK that someone arse

Beware of phone scam sht in Indonesia
First attempt was when I wanted to sell my car. I put advertisements on some papers. I put on saturday and sunday. And then the next saturday sunday. I think in my second or third week of advertisements this guy texted me saying that he was from the newspaper company named Bali Post and a doctor from Jakarta interested in buying the car and asked me to call that doctor.
So I called the doctor. The doctor said he would be in Bali in the next 2 weeks and needed to settle some things as well as car. He did some negotiations with the price. Everything seemed so right until he said he was going to transfer me a 5 million deposit without even looked at the car. I started to wonder. But what the hack, I gave him my bank account number.
An hour later, he called me and told me that he transfered the deposit and asked me to check. I checked using internet banking.. nothing. He insisted me to go to ATM machine to made a complain together. He was worried about his money being lost. This time I knew that this was a fakn scam. A friend of mine was a victim of this ATM phone scam. He was told to press some numbers in the ATM which later he found out that his money gone being transfered to someone.
The second scam which just happened this morning. A guy called me yesterday to made an order of some plywoods. FYI: I am selling building materials. He asked to delivered the order tomorrow and he was ready to made some deposits. Same story repeated.
Some says when you go to ATM, you'll somehow follow his instruction. It's like being hypnotized. Really? I'd love to try some times. But I need to move my money to my wife account before that. Just in case I'm hypnotized. kakaka.
