Can’t access Ako Webmail from home?
If your home IP address is blocked by Ako Webmail, the following steps might help:
1. Open a terminal window (command prompt) and type “dig”. Hit Enter twice.
The output should look like this:

;; QUESTION SECTION: ;fabianbautista@gmail.com. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION:

gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com. 300 IN A 74.125.225.93
3. Copy the IP address (in this case, 74.125.225.93) and paste it into your browser’s address bar instead of fabianbautista@gmail.com. Hit Enter
4. If you see the following page:
