Many users of the Odnoklassniki social network complain that they cannot get to their page - supposedly it is blocked. But why? How to solve this problem? Let's try to figure out this not the easiest issue together.

Reasons for blocking

There may be several of them:

Firstly, you may not be able to access the site if you are at work - many employers ask administrators to prohibit access to various types of popular resources, including social networks.

Secondly, this could happen due to the fact that your account was opened by attackers with the aim of sending spam to your friends and others. In such cases, the administration of the social network almost instantly blocks the profile.

Thirdly, you are not on Odnoklassniki at all, but on another site that does not look different at all.

Fourthly, there is a virus on your computer that replaces the hosts file.

Now let's look at each point in more detail.

Odnoklassniki blocked at work

So, you came to work, sat down at your desk, turned on the computer and cannot get to a number of sites, including Odnoklassniki. Theoretically, they may not work (for example, maintenance work is carried out on them), but not all at once?! Therefore, we are 99% sure that this is the work of your admin, who, by decision of the manager, blocked access to popular projects.

However, the problem can be solved if you use an anonymizer. What it is and how to use it, we have already written in detail in the article. Another option is to use mirrors. But we strongly advise against resorting to this method. Why? You can find out this from our article.

Spam sending

In this case, as we wrote above, it’s all the fault of the attackers who send spam over the network on your behalf - with these actions you violate the rules of the project, so your account is immediately blocked.

First of all, I would like to say the following - to prevent this from happening in the future, be sure to link it to your mobile phone number. Even if your profile is hacked by scammers, you can immediately restore it - a new password will be sent to your phone as an SMS message.

However, if you have not done this, you will have to contact the Odnoklassniki support service. To do this, open the website, select “Regulations” at the bottom of the screen.

Then you will see a license agreement in front of you. You can read it, although it is large and may take a lot of time. Therefore, go to the very bottom of the page and click on the “Contact support” link.

This window appears in front of you:

Enter all the necessary information, and select “Profile blocked or deleted” as the subject for your message. You describe the situation, send a message and wait for a response. IMPORTANT! The response will be sent to the email address you provided, so make sure you have access to it.

As a rule, such requests are resolved positively for the page owner.

Other site

For some reason, many people forget that the social network has only one official page and it is located at http://odnoklassniki.ru. However, on the RuNet you can find a huge number of fraudulent sites that only superficially look like Odnoklassniki.

Why were they created? There are two main reasons. The first is for hacking accounts. Imagine you went to such a resource and entered your username and password. At the same time, you will not be able to get anywhere while attackers receive your data. Well, then they will use them to send spam.

The second reason is much more interesting. You try to get into your profile, but the system says that it is blocked and to unlock it you need to send a “free” SMS message. As you might have already guessed, after this a tidy sum will be debited from your personal account. The most interesting thing is that some people send several messages at once, but the page will not be unblocked... But if they looked carefully at the site address, they would probably immediately understand that they were trying to deceive them - the addresses, as a rule, look like odnoklassn1k1.ru or odnoklaccnik1.ru. Yes, it’s not easy to notice deception, but always pay attention to such little things. By the way, such sites are called phishing sites.

Replacing the hosts file

This type of blocking is essentially the same as what we described above - you go to the site, and it requires you to send an SMS message. There is just one interesting difference - if you look in the address bar, you will see the website address http://odnoklassniki.ru (now also http://ok.ru), that is, there seems to be no deception.

But in fact, everything here is very tricky. There is a virus on your computer that replaces the data in the hosts file with what it needs. Thus, you will also not be able to access any other social network - you will be automatically redirected to a phishing site, although the address will be real (that is, http://vk.com or http://odnoklassniki.ru).

You need to change the hosts file yourself, and then scan your computer for malicious files. We have already told you how to do this.

And finally, I would like to note that every situation has its own way out. The main thing here is not to panic.
