#3> When the ISPs discovered that the IP addresses belonged to Cloudflare, arms were thrown up in despair.
The level of desperation the ISP’s engineers have felt in front of such incompetence must have been through the roof. I am getting tired of our politics here in europe: tech literate people in governments are put to work on surveilance stuff, never for actual policymaking.
The shit show continues.

> [Austria's] Telekom Control Commission found a violation of Article 3 Paragraph 3 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120, because the IP access block poses the risk of ‘overblocking’ any website content.
Since the blocking was illegal per the European Union's regulations, presumably any other EU nation would have to enact similar decisions if this blocking was done elsewhere in the EU.

#5IP address blocking may have been banned, but DPI to block domains based on SNI is alive and kickin'.
I've seen people talk about encrypted SNI for a very long time now and it's still not working; someone must have dropped the ball pretty hard regarding that

If I was an engineer there I would block the addresses and call it a day. What do I care? After all it's customer service who will deal with the angry calls.

Yes, we do have that. It's at the state level.

ECH seems to have been rolled out in browsers as dev features so idk what the real blocker is anymore.
Edit: it looks like as of late May if you enable some dev flags in Firefox any site behind Cloudflare should use ECH.
