  • What made you think it’s from your ISP? It’s written in English with grammatical mistakes and the name sounds Polish. Looking it up it seems like they are a VPS. If they are lying - not sure what would they be trying to get out of you, do not provide them with any personal information whatsoever. Also where did they even get your email? Is the IP they mention actually yours? Is your IP even static?

    As a general check up:

    • Update your router firmware; if your router is too old it genuinely may be susceptible to infections that then turn it into a botnet. If it’s your own router, you can also factory reset it and set it up from 0. This applies to all your repeaters, too. Ideally look into using OpenWRT if your hardware supports it and keeping it updated.
    • Update the phones, look through all your apps for anything that you didn’t install.

    Definitely do what this comment tells you to actually find out if the problem exists. Or if you are too unsure of how to navigate through all that - call your actual ISP and ask if they could help you. If it’s not your own router, they might be able to do it remotely.



  • The title is overly optimistic imo. This is more of a life support system for a comatose patient. The work done is great and keeps some people informed and provided with at least some international news and tools, but this is far from defeating the internet blackout.

    I’m also somewhat surprised iran isn’t shooting down the satellites. The article mentions previous full jamming practices were stopped in fear of sanctions, but not like that’s a concern anymore, especially considering iran is in russia’s little fascist club.

    To the people living in the rest of the world - start taking ID verification threat seriously before this is your reality where the only outside news you get is from a USB stick you buy on a shady open market for 30 bucks from a guy who has a satellite dish out in the mountains.













  • It’s not an issue that needs to be fixed by us. It’s not impossible to price digital goods differently in different countries, but companies would rather close up shop than let you buy a product cheaper than in your region. At the end of the day - the lowest they can price it is how much it realistically costs and the rest is extra fees for living in more developed countries, but they are greedy and don’t care about consumers one bit.

    Also the digital segregation you are describing is already rolling out anyway with ID verification, that won’t solve the problems you think it will however.
