New Wave of Inaccessible/Blocked websites and services

A number of websites and online services, which were previously operational, have stopped working in Pakistan since 1st Feb (verified on PTCL, Cybernet and Multinet, 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 (report any other sites/services in the comments or tweet them to @sawant):

List of Inaccessible / Blocked Websites

• The Guardian (url 2)
• The Verge
• Foursquare
• LifeHacker
• Gawker
• Gizmodo
• Hollywood Reporter
• Kotaku
• Jalopnik
• Deadspin
• Jezebil
• iO9
• Wikia
• Disqus (Services: Not working)
• Github (Services: ?)
• AddThis (Services: Not working)

I have narrowed the issue down to a CDN service, which appears unresponsive/blocked, that all of these websites seem to be using.

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 them.

facing the same issue. The whole company is stuck due to this!

This is preposterous! When will PTA learn?

Yep access to github is intermittent. Lots of sites are affected by this because they're blocking CDNs.

I am in Karachi and using worldcall.

If anybody wants guaranteed access it is very easy. Just buy a cheap vps and setup openvpn. Or even easier - create a socks proxy using openssh: http://abdussamad.com/archives/747-Simple-SSH-Web-Proxy.html
