Re: perlmonks.org blocked in Iran

Several thoughts:

Please make sure it's not related to the recent outage
If the IP works, try configuring a name server outside Iran
Perlmonks has various domain names (www.)?perlmonks.(org|com|net) but also cryptic unofficial ones via pair.com
It would be better to have someone from Iran asking and testing here, your input is too much hearsay
Generally I doubt the word "monks" is blocked°, determining the definite reason would come before any investment into possible solutions

°) the regime is going nuts in many aspects, but as a matter of fact there are multiple religious minorities in Iran, like Zoroastrians, Jews and Christians. Those at least are "protected" under sharia laws (People of the Book). The latter can even sell alcohol and porc.

Difficult to say what happened. I asked them to try the alternate domain names, what seemed to be successful, as was the raw IP. Finally, I asked them to try again the .org domain, and they were finally able to access it! Maybe it came from the extreme set of VPN and proxies they have to use to access the “outside world”, plus the relative slowness of the network in Tehran that seems to be around 100 KB/sec. Thanks for helping anyway... 🌸	[reply]
