What is Bitcoin Forum IP address?

[jiyu_shi]

I can't connect our forum by old /etc/host file:
45.55.191.107   ip.bitcointalk.org
54.235.199.197   bitcointalk.org

So, what's the new IP?

[1715646965]

1715646965

[1715646965]

1715646965

I see the IP from the command prompt in Windows functions. This is the IP address: 107.21.115.227

To get past a certain state-owned firewall, you can update your hosts file by using a ip resolver site like http://ip-lookup.net/domain.php . 
Do make sure it's the correct IP though as it's extremely easy to do a phishing attack should you use an outdated/malicious ip address.

Thank you. I almost ignored it.
Of course, jerowacik is a good man.

When I tried it earlier...

Code:

ping bitcointalk.org

Pinging bitcointalk.org [107.21.115.227] with 32 bytes of data:

Checks out, that's bitcointalk alright!

It's normal to Bitcoin Forum  

Code:

~$ ping -s 1 -c 1 bitcointalk.org
PING bitcointalk.org (107.21.115.227) 1(29) bytes of data.

--- bitcointalk.org ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms

My trouble is:

Code:

~$ nslookup bitcointalk.org
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, trying next server
Server:		xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Address:	xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	bitcointalk.org
Address: 8.7.198.45

What is 8.7.198.45? Is it Bitcoin Forum's IDC?

If you're behind GFW that should be one of their fake addresses. GFW employs a DNS poisoning attack to hijack the location of blacklisted sites. That IP is a pretty common fake/misdirection IP that they use. You'll have to rely on external services to get the actual IP address for blocked sites.
