I would like to connect to linuxquestions.org without antifilter and ipchanger from Iran.
Isn't that already the case? I ask, because I thought that this website was accessible from Iran without using a VPN, for instance. So in this case does the limitation comes from Iran or from the USA?
On a similar topic at least most Slackware and derivatives repositories can be accessed from everywhere using one of the mirrors @ slackware.uk

Our beloved linuxquestions.org is banned from USA. the problem comes from the underlying layer of the website itself. I say this because I get no answer from ping. The IP can be determined. Iran blocks the filtered websites in many ways. One is DNS. But linuxquestions is available in DNS.
Fortunately, Slackware repositories are open from Iran. I wish never have problem to open them.
There are many websites to talk about linux. But linuxquestions.org is the best for me.

So if I understand well you think that LQ makes itself not accessible from Iran. I suggest that you bring this to Jeremy's attention posting in the LQ Suggestions & Feedback forum then.
PS I see now that you already did a while ago. Until you have a follow-up from this post I am afraid that you'll have to continue using an IP changer. I assume that you will have better chances of getting a follow-up requesting it quoting the aforementioned post.
Personally, I don't think such a blockade (if confirmed) be fair, nor smart (as it is easy to circumvent). But maybe that's an opinion that would better fit in General.

Thanks. Yeah, That is my post. As I know, the LQ itself doesn't block our IP. But the server or maybe the routers of server have blocked. Because when I ping LQ, I get timeout. I wanted to continue that post. But I don't know how to find a way to achieve my goal to open LQ without IP changer. I try to ask LQ masters from that post.
Thanks again.
