I live in Iran.
The fact about the shut down is correct. I would also add that secure connection to servers inside Iran is possible. I've tried some, and they work. But trying to connect to services like Github and PivotalTracker, which we relay on in our starup, results in no response.
Also I will note that the ssh protocol is the same. I can ssh into my university machine (inside Iran) but I can't access my rackspace VPS with ssh for example.
One thing to add is that `Sara70` creator of this thread, mentions some non-related reason for this (The reason for this horrible shutdown is that the Iranian regime celebrates 1979 Islamic revolution tomorrow.) which is wrong.
Here nobody officially said anything about this. But as this shutdown is getting more attention in the media, I suspect this issue to get resolved soon.

- ya3r 15y agoI ask the same. How does she know this? I know this because, this trend (shutting down secure network protocols) started on and off, like 1 year ago.
- cjbprime 15y agoAs I understand it, that was slowing down (like 10x) of SSL, not disabling it completely. It could have simply been a live test of the mechanism they're using right now, and they could be deploying the mechanism right now because of the anniversary. (Or because of Kim Jong-Un's death ;-)
