Anyone elses internet heavily restricted?
This is one of the few sites I have access to, what the hell is happening? Going to restart my router right now but this is scary, I can only access a very inconsistent list of websites and services.

Edit: im no longer allowed to post comments, im in belgium

Are you experiencing any weather?
I would look up your city's weather map but your profile doesn't seem to have that info.

If you're not having a weather issue then call your Internet Service Provider and ask them whats going on and fix it now.

no...what country do you live in? some countries heavily restrict access to some online contents.

many online services have homogenous hosting blocks, and simply attacking the provider monopoly undoes all of the benefit of having different independent companies.

If you can't be bothered to add info then I can tell you I could not care less... :steamfacepalm:

What ISP (Internet Service Provider) are you using?

If it's StarLink (Elon Musk), then it's currently "due to failure of key internal software services that operate the core network"... They later called it an upgrade issue.

Elon Musk also dropped all the Internet access for Ukraine due to them reclaiming back some of their stolen land from Russia.

StarLink is also insecure from Russian hackers:

To fix this exploit, I would suggest a new ISP.

Yea sites are just outright blocking the UK now, not worth the effort of dealing with them.

they threatened to do so a long time ago if the UK didn't learn to play nice, and it not only hasn't but has attempted to remove the means of getting rid of them.

maybe russia and uk can form a 'council of beligerents' or something.
