The forum and website is blocked for Iran
Dear Friends, Hello
I have been a member in this forum since 2001 and I have regularly used it until 1-2 years ago. Then the website blocked me and I found all Iranian IP addresses are blocked. - Guys, I know our governments have problem with each other... but believe me it has nothing to do with 85 million Iranian (mostly educated, i.e. 15-20 million university graduates). - I have contributed to many open source projects and I am sorry to say that I am now blocked from access to projects I have contributed to. - Does it feel just? Specially that most larger websites did not block Iran. This website is a .org website and does not offer any software or product btw. I really wish the administrators do something about this. Many Iranian have contributed to open source projects including Linux and they deserve to enjoy access to them ... Regards, Mac |
Are you using a VPN?

Of course.
Half of the websites are filtered by Iranian government. The other half by the order of US government (is it)? The only way around is using VPN! |
Last time this came up, Jeremy said LQ's hosting provider was blocking Iran, not sure if that was resolved or not.

And after all that, you're obviously posting here....so what's the issue? Talk to YOUR government to have the filtering removed if it's a bother to you. |

The OP can do whatever they wish, and if they don't want things filtered on their side of things, that's not anything anyone else can control. It's up to the OP to make the changes where they live. Whether they can or not isn't an issue that can be dealt with on a forum. |

How they choose to do it is up to them. Quote:

The information contained in my previous post still applies. To be clear, LQ is not blocking any specific countries, but multiple large network providers have chosen to do so. At this time, a VPN is likely the easiest workaround.

Thanks everyone.
Even though I use a VPN service, most others may not be able to use it. Not many ISPs block Iran, it is more specifically cloudflare here (might possibly be solved with some setting). Google, MS, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and many other major companies do not block Iran. And FYI a $10/month VPN account is not cheap. A full time PhD lecturer gets $300-$400 and an engineer gets somewhere between $100-$300 (monthly). I agree with TB0ne. Not everything should be just and he is not responsible for other people's problems, it is their problem and they should deal with it themselves. I even agree with him on the Irony thing. The whole thing is an Irony (and perhaps even pleasantly laughable for him) and once again not his problem. |

The issue is in no way related to cloudflare. FWIW the last 3 DC's LQ was in seemed to block Iran, none with an escalation path to remove the block. Looking at the list you gave, multiple block Iran and Iran seems to block multiple others.

Try using TOR (using bridges) and if that doesn't work tunnel into i2p and then into tor.
