Hello,

You have been redirected to this page because the regulatory authority in your country views the part of this website you were trying to access as advertising, and advertising of prescription medications is prohibited.

Forums are not viewed as advertising, so to preserve your access to the support available on this forum, from patients and experts around the world, we have to block your access to certain pages.

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

Dr. Freeman, you are not obsolete! This just seems appropriate, given how you are being treated.

Can I still post here ???
Generic treatment Australia.

I work as an IT problem manager. When a problem is identified (TGA is going to block access to Australian IP addresses) there is a process to deal with it.
Find the root cause (TGA is being screwed over by big pharma and has come to like it)
Identify known errors, workarounds and permanent fixes.
1 known error, 2 workarounds, 1 permanent fix.
Known error - from 15 June Australian users can't access the fixhepc site
Workaround 1 - Australian users get VPN
Workaround 2 - Australian users still have access to forum as it does not breach TGA regulations
Permanent fix - TGA gets real and cuts the crap. Thus may never happen but as there are effective workarounds that's ok

Hi Beaches,
I've only just set up "Private Internet Access" (VPN) on my computer.
Will this give me access if the TGA pulls the plug on Australian users ?

Hi Michael-Henry,
I am no tech guru but as I understand it if the VPN has a non Australian IP address you will have the same access after 15 June as you do today.
If the forum is still accessible I'm not sure that I'll go down the. VPN path.
Hope this helps.
Please refer to service desk ticket 654-3789

If anyone is thinking of trying a VPN my son has found a free one called ghostvpn. The limitation with the free version is that you get kicked off after 3 hours but then you can log back in.
I have not tried it yet. but will.

Thanks heaps for sharing your geek stuff Beaches
Tick Tock get organised Aussies I think we are able to "blog" but just won't see part of the access medicine part because of TGA
That's good oil Beaches Ty again

IT WORKS!!!!!
But the product is called Cyberghost, not ghostvpn
Very easy to install.

I'm in Australia & it's Thursday 16th June 2016 & I seem to be able to access this site.
Can someone tell me which parts I'm missing out on ?

Hi Michael
I'm unable to get into Redemption section under main menu James has popped a message up telling us we are "re-directed"
I am still able to get into GP2U and the info on how to contact them.
All else seems accessible too
Cheers from Ariel
GAJ have I missed anything?

Australian IP addresses are blocked from the areas that are listed at the start of the link below:

fixhepc.com/forum/geopolitics/1065-geobl...0-is-active-now.html

The way to get around that is: Every traffic from your computer routes through the VPN network, so your true IP address assigned by your ISP is hidden. Aside from hiding your IP address, using VPN allows you to access any network even though your network may be geo-restricted.

So just set up a VPN network and then you can access the restricted parts of the website.

I've been trialling a free version of a VPN product and now they are offering a 50% discount for a 1 year subscription.
It's called Cyberghost VPN but do your own research before committing to one product.

Hi guys,
I still seem to be able to access all areas of this site from Australia, without turning my VPN on.
Forum, Redemption, Fixhepc,

PS >> I've just turned on my VPN which now gives me a New York IP address & yes i can now see the difference.
