This week, the Spokn website was blocked in UAE as soon as we got featured on a few popular blogs. Our Windows Desktop and Android dialers were unable to login.
Thankfully, we were able to spot the issue quickly and roll out new versions with fixes for the same.
The Windows dialer now allows you to access the Spokn website directly by clicking a link in the dialer. This opens a local window with the Spokn website over a secure connection – you can effectively use the entire Spokn website and this has been tested working in the UAE. So now even if you cannot access the website from your web browser, you can always do so using the Spokn dialer.
You can directly download the latest version of the Windows dialer by clicking this link.
The new version of the Android dialer is available in the Android App Market.
Remember, the Spokn website is reachable from the UAE and other Middle-East countries at https://www.spokn.com. Note the https in the URL instead of http.
The website can also be reached on http://www.spokn.org and http://www.spokn.im.
Sorry for the trouble you’ve had with this blockage. We’ve tweaked our dialers to be able to circumvent such blocks easily from now on.
