Yea, if you go to this server's ip address,
http://50.97.177.66 or it's actual hostname,
http://42.b1.6132.ip4.static.sl-reverse.com
you'd see this unconfigured webspace:
Just out of curiosity...
go here: https://zend2.com/
in that webpage type or copy/paste
http://www.wrestlingforum.com
click surf, see if the forum loads.
Note: Do not log in from there! only see if it loads the forum
that's bouncing you off a proxy, from another ip then back to the forum. I'm curious if it loads.
By the way, are you in US? or what country? and if so what provider? Of course
you don't have to answer. I'm just curious.
if none of this server's Virtual Hosts websites load then it's not just this website it's entire box, you can't reach.
if the server admin can traceroute your ip address from the command prompt on this server or and then see if he can ping your current ip address of course some home routers have icmp echo disabled, but you should be "traceroutable".
If the admin can't ping your ip from this server's console, then the admin does a traceroute to your ip from this server's console, and then you do a traceroute from your computer to this site.
then compare the 2 traces and see where it's stopping. If you notice you both stop getting replies from the same router, then something is wrong on that router, and contact it's owner, if admin can traceroute all the way to you, but you can't back, where does it stop? as that means this server sees you, you cant see it, etc. It helps paint a better picture when you trace from 2 directions toward each other and see where ya meet in middle if something drops out, helps troubleshoot.
or I know this forum does block some anonymous proxies like hideme and such, it's possible there is a firewall of a entire netblock that your provider is getting caught in.
if you would like to traceroute and see where it stops if you are in Windows.
open command prompt just as if you were pinging
and do this but give it to the admin or mod helping you, as the first few hops will identify your provider if you don't want it known.

I'm kinda surprised I'm only technically 6 hops after i leave my isp to this server, of course looks like the server is in Dallas, Texas, based on the router in front of it.
by the way notice the IP address right before you hit this server in my traceroute. That's the router sitting in front of this server, you won't be able to ping it as it has icmp echo requests turned off apparently. And i don't want to go through teaching you how to udp/syn ping unless you know how. But if you traceroute and you do see that IP listed below or in my
#9 spot. Then that tells me you can at least reach the router directly in front of the server.

Also for "shits and giggles" let's try some other website this company owns that are on other IP's.
Go here:
http://www.verticalscope.com/
at top of page see link that says "Our Verticals"
all the sports forums are on this same box as wrestlingforum.com
but it looks like each "Genre" is all hosted on 1 box.
Try Automotive forums, so Verticalscope then "Our Verticals" then "automotive" then pick one. For example I just tried:
http://www.cadillacforums.com/
it's on IP address: 108.168.211.86
The good thing is it's hosted by the same company "Softlayer". So see if you can hit any of those forums on Vertical Scope's list.
Each genre's tons of forums are on it's own shared IP.
