Are specific internet sites blocked in some countries? [closed]

Last month I was travelling in Croatia.

I was unable to access the Aeroplan website (Canadian air miles plan), the only way to change a flight booked on points.

To be clear, all computers that I tried failed to even go to the log-in site; so it was not a problem with my account.

Some program called Incapsula (?) seemed to be involved.

Access to the site was available in other geographical areas.

Any idea what was going on, if it might happen elsewhere, and how to avoid/circumvent it?

Can a website be blocked in a country?

Most countries ban sites by forcing ISP's to block them from their DNS. In most cases, they'll even redirect to a message with more info about the ban. ISP's can as far as I know also block all requests to a certain IP. Best example for this in my country is the ban of ThePirateBay.

Why are some websites not available in my country?

Usually, the 'Content not available in your country' message shows up because the location where you are browsing from has been banned or denied access to the webpage or website you want to log into. Usually, this is done by blocking the location's IP address.
