So yesterday the biggest Telco (Telstra) blocked access to various websites. The second major competitor (Optus) copied today.
The websites include:
- Voat
- Zerohedge
- 8chan
- 4chan
I am only posting here because I am using Opera with its built-in VPN.
Gab is still accessible (for now)
Zerohedge is back up.
The other interesting thing is that, of the VPN providers, anonymize.com is blocked. This is the VPN that is recommended by Gab host provider Epik (Rob Monster).
NordVPN is accessible in Australia - no problem. My suggestion is to avoid Nord.
The interesting thing about censoring Voat is that it has NO hosting capacity for video - nothing. And this is the premise that the Telcos have blocked it. So there is something VERY fishy about the block of Voat.
My guess - someone on Voat is REALLY, REALLY, over the target.
Love from Aus

Thanks anon for the update. Have been wondering what is going on there at ground level. Yes, it seems that Australia and New Zealand is preparing to block news that will be coming out in America that implicates the their intelligence agencies (part of the five eyes) in the effort to try to stop President Trump. Thanks to your efforts and people like you, it will not succeed .
