The one thing I've not seen mentioned yet in the Sci-Hub discussions is that the national level academic ISPs seem to have put a very effective domain and IP address block on SciHub. I've tested this both from UK and Scandinavian university networks I have access to, and none of the SciHub domains nor the direct IPs are accessible.
Can anyone in the US or rest of Europe with university access test this?
It's certainly ironic when you need an ssh tunnel from your university to your home to be able to read academic papers at work.
Edit: I have not tried eduroam, just uni ethernets. All Norwegian universities have the block both on DNS and on IPs. Imperial College only has the block on DNS, not on the IP.
- thrownaway1984 10y agoIs this block eduroam wide or *.ac.uk wide?
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoI haven't tried eduroam, only cabled uni networks. I just tried several Norwegian ones, traceroute indicates they are blocked by the national level academic ISP in Oslo. The one in the UK is stopped by a university "badware" firewall.

- aub3bhat 10y agoAvailable at Cornell through Eduroam.
- Loic 10y agoDTU (Chemical Engineering) has not blocked the access to http://sci-hub.cc http://sci-hub.cc. Maybe you can check if you can resolve the domain with an open DNS server like 8.8.8.8 from Google and then access it from your university network.

- semi-extrinsic 10y agoThis is from Cambridge? Eduroam or uni ethernet?
- kchoudhu 10y ago3 Mobile, UK here -- it's accessible. It's shocking to me that your university administrator has put a block in place on a website that isn't obviously malicious. VPNs are cheap. In this case, I think it's worth it to invest in one.
- justincormack 10y agoVirgin media is blocking some addresses but not that one so I presume they are on the UK blacklist.
