The following IP blocks have been reported as banned in Russia at the ISP level. The IP ranges account for 1,835,008 IPs. 52.58.0.0/15 18.196.0.0/15 18.194.0.0/15 18.184.0.0/15 35.156.0.0/14 35.192.0.0/12 The move to ban these IP blocks is a response to Telegram moving some of its infrastructure to Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud servers over the weekend. https://twitter.com/CatVsHumanity/status/985914182959759360 https://twitter.com/EpicRive/status/985945211888128001 Russia Bans 1.8 Million Amazon and Google IPs in Attempt to Bloc..

Next step: ban the internet
Using a sledge hammer as a scalpel.
The Chinese way.
Not that surprising really, Roskomnadzor has been a pain in the arse and a constant comedy generator run by monkeys since day one.
Just to show how fucking insane they are, check the IP they tried to block over here: https://reestr.rublacklist.net/rec/128351/
This is hilarious. In the world where probably majority of web services rely on AWS and GCP - This is sure a way to go. I assume this means - everything running on AWP and GCP gets blocked right? They're not filtering for specific content type or any of that stuff?
Steam is on Akamai, it's safe for now
karimatrix: here's how it's actually the fault of the west
Petition Telegram immediately to also use Akamai :V
I assume this is something a VPN can get around, right? What about changing your DNS server?
A VPN would as long as it's you know, not a russian VPN. DNS server shouldn't matter here
Time to put FP on AWS. https://twitter.com/CatVsHumanity/status/985914182959759360
Yes, VPNs will work. DNS doesn't apply here, since they're blocking IPs and not names. The big issues are companies like cellular carriers and payment processors that can't provide services anymore due to using AWS for their hosting.
Welcome to the first lecture on the way to Chinas great firewall. Today's episode: Overblocking
Apparently they didn't even manage to block Telegram at the end of the day Imagine incompetence at this level, this is like knocking out power in a city because a dude is running a grow house in it.
How to fuck everything up in 1 day, just follow these simple steps: Step 1, get access to telegram accounts. If step 1 fail then move to the next one. Step 2, ban telegram and tell your country ISPs to do the same. Step 3, ban 16 million amazon, azure, google ips to block telegram. Step 4, ?????? Step 5, just sit down on your chair and drink some whiskey and watch all this shit.
It's like Russia wants to isolate itself from the western world and by doing do, they will blame the west for they're own shit. I swear, Russia needs a good 'ol revolution to get it back on track.
Vodka*
*vodka
Russia's track record with revolutions isn't too great. Maybe a peaceful, not 120% votes for Putin, democratic process would be a good thing to try first.
lmao
Right now its 16.35 million IPs Here's a live graph if anyone's ineterested in keeping track of the number
Site keeps timing out, what were you trying to show?
That's an easy one, StrawberryCock, puny west is to blame for for naming their ip's as confusing numbers and symbols, can't they write something more understandable like RODINA for Russian domains or EBLAN for your home PC route?
pffft this shit is even fucking with Rust, amazingly For everyone who can not connect to RU FP 1/2 [Для тех кто не мо.. time to direct all rust complaints to the Kremlin
The most powerful weapon that no one expected.
It's really depressing when you realize that entire Russian history was under malevolent rulers and oppression, and when that crushed with revolutions and coups, it all came back in circles.
What exactly does this mean? What is the entire scope of things that Russia has effectively shut down?
Are they hoping that Amazon/Google will kick Telegram of their servers for "being disruptive"?
