A number of websites and online services, which were previously operational, have stopped working in Pakistan since 1st Feb (verified on PTCL and Cybernet, in Karachi). The sites appear broken and their services, if any, are not working as intended. This could be a temporary glitch, or it could be a side-effect of the Pakistani government/PTA banning websites and IP addresses.
Following are the sites/services I have come across that are not working entirely or partially from Karachi, Pakistan (if you come across any others, tweet them to @sawant):
- The Guardian (url 2)
- Website: Not loading/Appears blocked - it starts working sometimes
- Foursquare
- Website: Loading partially/Appears broken
- Services: ?
- Github
- Website: Loading partially/Appears broken
- Services: ?
- Wikia
- Website: Not loading/Appears blocked
- Disqus
- Website: Loading partially/Appears broken
- Services: Not working
- AddThis
- Website: Loading partially/Appears broken
- Services: Not working
I have narrowed the issue down to a CDN service that all of these websites seem to be using. That CDN service has apparently been blocked.
If any of these websites services are working for you, in Pakistan, please mention the website, your ISP, and your location in the comments below or tweet.
