Seems a lot of filehosts sites were blocked today.

 

[Sushubh]

Kick release ho gayee kya?

 

[Jack Tripper]

That's releasing on the 25th, no reason why they should block sites now. Also they were told that they could not block entire websites like that.

 

[Sushubh]

yup. but then no one gives a shit. aljazeera.com is blocked on reliance broadband for a while now without any reason at all.

 

[Manish24]

LOL Why aljazeera is blocked on reliance?

 

[Sushubh]

Here is what I have been told...
Reliance Broadband is incompatible with certain websites. One of them is Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera is blocked by Reliance Broadband for technical reasons.
There are some technical issues that prevents us from allowing access to aljazeera.com.

 

[Manish24]

you can still visit using proxy svr right?

 

[Sushubh]

the block is implemented through the reliance dns which is needed to access their login page.
