Ok, so if OMZ is Russian, do know this:
Russia currently is 'blocking' several websites. I.e. blocking at a DNS level, so this might be half witted attempt on keeping the censorship..
And as @swiley noted: some people only use the easier to remember 8.8.8.8 (I do that for instance)
- ryanlol 11y agoUnlikely. Especially since that's not really how Roskomnadzors blocking works.
- joantune 11y agoYes, you're right, I thought it was like here, in Portugal, but they actually block IP addresses and/or use deep packet inspection to do it, as far as I researched now. I know it's not as sophisticated as the blocking in China, and a comment on reddit on a thread that I read yesterday (https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/41s7z8/the_first_nonpiracy_website_was_blocked_in/ https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/41s7z8/the_first_no...), made me think that it used DNS only. Nevermind
- ycmbntrthrwaway 11y agoRoskomnadzor "works" by publishing a list of IP addresses and domain names for ISPs to download. A copy of it is leaked to http://reestr.rublacklist.net/ http://reestr.rublacklist.net/ in real time. Each ISP implements blocking in its own way: DNS blocking, transparent Squid proxy, firewalls or nothing at all sometimes. Nobody really cares if something is actually blocked. BGP hijacking for the purpose of blocking websites is really unlikely at this point.
