In my country Sri Lanka, the Social Media sites have been blocked in order to stop the spread of misinformation about asuicide bomb attack. My question is What kind of block are they employing here? Is there anyway I can find it? I’ve tried communicating to my ISP and our country’s TRC but no use.
Blocked sites screenshots ( most sites showing ERR_CONNECTION_RESET and some showing ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED )
This is not a DNS block because I’ve tried changing the DNS.I was able to ping all the blocked sites successfully.
I was able to pass the restriction by using VPN. I don’t think this is DPI block, because our country is pretty weak both economically and technically and employing that kind of infrastructure in just a few hours seems to be pretty impossible.
Are there any other suitable blocking options available? If you want any other information please ask quickly as this block will be in place for a few days only.
