The usual VPN still works for both Twitter & now U Tube. Are they likely to block these monthly paid services?

Maybe.  Do you have a fixed IP (does your IP change every time you log on or is it the same) or is it dynamically allocated?

JF

I really don't know, I think it's dynamically allocated, but how do I tell?

Log in to your VPN and then visit Check My Ip, take a note of the IP address and next time you log in, go there again and see if it is the same.  If it is, then its likely you have a static IP address and if not, its dynamically allocated (different IP assigned each time you connect).

In simple terms, if they are logging VPN connections then static IP's will be easier to block.  However, they may just decide to block whole ranges of IP's in order to close down private VPNs.  Hopefully, it wont come to that - however they do have both the power and technology available so who knows...

Thank you JohnF I downloaded tunnel bear and it is working a treat. Time to cancel my subs to another VPN if it carries on.

I've just downloaded Zenmate and it seems to be working.

Both Tor and Zenmate working today.  Word is Facebook shortly to join the sh1tlist - personally i reckon that's a bonus to come out of this situation!

Why would they wait until now to take down FB?

Is it because they expect trouble after they fix the result win tomorrow and want to try and stop people organising. Like that's worked already.

They'd close down the whole fecking internet if they could get away with it.  Instead they simply stifle what they can, throw journalists in jail and take away (illegally) media outlets licences.

I suppose it just goes to show they are running scared - roll on tomorrow night.

I am eagerly awaiting the results in Istanbul and Ankara.

I expect you have already seen this
