Had this conversation with a provider of wifi-hotspots in Austin. I had initially sent an email complaining that http://freenetproject.org/ was blocked in a coffee shop I frequent.
Ian. Forwarded conversation Subject: DNS block ------------------------ From: *techsupport* <techsupp...@deepcoolclear.com> Date: Thu, Dec 27, 2012 at 3:57 PM To: i...@freenetproject.org Hi Ian your web site is blocked by millions of sites in the USA and other places outside of the countries you mentioned, by a service called OpenDns that we subscribe to. I think the greater message is that you should be in touch with them directly, to have your site removed from the list of Proxy/Anonymizer which are blocked because we have an obligation to avoid porn and related content from these networks to the best of our ability. Since a Proxy bypasses the DNS service, you can see why this is so. The only good news today, is that you are now aware of how many places are blocking your web page. Best Regards DeepCoolClear ---------- From: *Ian Clarke* <i...@freenetproject.org> Date: Thu, Dec 27, 2012 at 4:33 PM To: techsupport <techsupp...@deepcoolclear.com> Don't worry, I'm well aware that billions of people in China are prevented from visiting our web page due to their authoritarian government. I'm just disappointed that it's also occurring in the US. OpenDns is correct to classify our website is an anonymizer, that's what it is. I suspect that most of your customer's customers value their online anonymity, it's unfortunate that you are denying that to them. I note that your customers include a few companies where I have contacts in their senior management. In particular, the CEO of Whole Foods is a noted libertarian. I'll discuss it with them.
