I don't think it's helpful to consider this ban a non-issue because it's easy to bypass. It's easy to bypass this time, next time it may be a bit harder, depending on what the government orders ISP's. And there probably will be "next time", depending on the effects of all this. Also, someone else here asked about legality of bypassing the ban, that is a good question I'd like to see answered, even though I think we a…
This slippery slope is exactly what happened in China. - First, they block a few websites: no big deal, I'll just use a VPN. - Then they block OpenVPN default port: no big deal, I'll just use another port or IPSec. - Then international connections slow down to a crawl: no big deal, maybe they're not throttling but just having capacity issues, let's wait a bit see if it gets better. Then one day your realize that what…
Yes, but we are powerless to change anything. It is not like that we can vote or have any voice in the governing of ourselves.
And even China doesn't block GitHub. It tried once, but backed down soon for unknown reasons.

Done! https://twitter.com/cryptbin/status/550455122091077632
As far as I can tell, the ban has not yet been enforced. I can access both https://cryptbin.com/ and https://snipt.net/ , though my ISP is limited only to Bangalore area. Edit: Well, it looks like pastebin & dailymotion are banned, but cryptbin and snipt aren't

#255Come on, stop acting that shitty. I'm a proud Indian, and this is the second time I'm condemning the state of the Internet in India in the same month[Earlier, due to Airtel's proposal to violate net neutrality].
If you believe you're doing so as these websites contain "anti-India" stuff, well, then screw yourself. Code that is used to run apps worldwide, API's, and what not have been cut off access to due to your little problem. On one hand, the guys promote the IT industry but on the other hand, they purposefully demote the industry. Get your goals right, people.
Moreover, I don't think the telecommunications department even knows how to cut off access to a website. I'm from Delhi, and here, both Github and Pastebin are accessible.

#257I'm on Airtel Broadband, and all the 32 websites are working fine (atlease for now). May be because I'm using Google Public DNS.
It seems airtel hasn't yet enforced the block. I am using Google DNS and yet most of the websites mentioned are blocked

#258Arvind Gupta, the head of IT Cell, BJP Tweeted: "The websites that have been blocked were based on an advisory by Anti Terrorism Squad, and were carrying Anti India content from ISIS. The sites that have removed objectionable content and/or cooperated with the on going investigations, are being unblocked." This is bad. archive.org by default should have all sorts of offensive things on it. Pastebin and github should…
I m not sure if github is blocked, i m pulling repos right now from Bangalore.

I run https://snipt.net , one of the sites listed as being blocked, and I've never received any communication from anyone with the Indian government or ISPs. So they're not proactively doing anything to unblock these sites, as far as I can tell.
As the owner of https://cryptbin.com , also on the list, I've never received any such communication either.
I can access cryptbin from mumbai so I dont think the ban has been enforced.

#260The sites are blocked only at the DNS level. If you switch your DNS from your ISP to either OPenDNS or Google DNS, then all these sites should work.
I am using google dns, but still many of the websites such as vimeo are returning a page with contents "HTTP Error 404 - File or Directory not found"
(Not an actual HTTP Protocol 404 reply)
