Comment (by mwolfe): The UAE has at least two ISPs. I see ads for Virgin, but I'm not sure if it's another ISP, or just a tool for one or both of the two I know. The two are du, which was used for your tests, and the other is Etisalat, eim.ae or etisalat.ae (that's the one I use). All the info about blocks was related to du, but the blocks would be the same for both (both du and Etisalat must run everything through the Telecommunications Regulatory Agency, or TRA). When du started, about 15 years ago, it was only in Free Zones, and so didn't have any blocks, but then pressure to have two nationwide ISPs got du to offer Internet and phone services all over, and it got the same blocks Etisalat has always had. I'm glad someone was able to run the tests safely from a .ca account. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25966#comment:5> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
