But it has been blocked at the request of the Turkish government. So it has been blocked in Turkey (a large portion of people in Turkey cannot access it -- given how popular it is), and also blocked by Turkey (since it was government ordered).
I'm not sure what your requirement is to say that something is blocked in a country, but far more than 30% of users not being able to access a site due to a government order sounds an awful lot like a "block" to me.

The post comes from protonmail.com, so it's already clear that it's from a representative of the company. I don't know what additional steps you feel should've been taken.
- bogomipz 9y ago>"But it has been blocked at the request of the Turkish government." Where is the proof of this? Where is the layer 3 evidence of showing that users in this AS can not route to Protonmail? These are things that are quite easy to demonstrate. What did Proton Mail's ISPs say?
- protonmail 9y agoDid you read the article? The details and how it was confirmed is in there.
- bogomipz 9y agoYeah I did. It's a bit hand-wavey on technical details and actual time frames. It mostly reads more like a press release and I believe that's the point of it. There's another very real possibility which is that Vodaphone's NOC will get back to you within 24 hours and help you resolve the problem. Such a time frame is quite common with large ISPs. The reality is that you are a small potato to them. But I'm guessing that considering this possibility would stand in the way or using this as an opportunity to generate publicity.
