Virgin Media Site Blocker
2 Attachment(s)
Anybody got any idea what the "Site blocker" tab on "My Virgin Media" is for?
It links to the following site: https://my.virginmedia.com/site-blocked.html I could understand the error appearing if a site was blocked for legal reasons, but why is there a tab on My Virgin Media that points to it? Neither of the links on that page work. |

I don't know why this is flagged "100MB" because I get it too, and I'm only on 30Mbit.
It's going to be interesting to see what materializes there. I hope its a list of what sites they have been ordered to censor. |

i imagine it will be to do with sites the government has deamed super illegal and orders all isps to blacklist and probably search engines like google as well

I bet even using a different DNS server will get around it.
With CISPA in the states, the GCHQ wanting to read all of your emails and facebook posts and this sort of thing I can see the day when everything is encrypted or tunnelled. Which will hamper the security services far more than these misguided policies will ever help them. |
Re: Virgin Media Site Blocker
If CISPA/SOPA/SISPA/RISPA/RASPA/TROOPA/POOPA etc ever become as strict as planned, the internet is going to change massively for everyone, web browsing software is going to change, and as mentioned, encryption and tunnelling is going to increase tenfold

Re: Virgin Media Site Blocker
so whats the name of the site that was blocked?
I forsee a time where browsers may remove the facility to use proxies on order of the state, possibly VPNs been made illegal in consumer equipment as well. But the law makers are always behind so those kind of changes are probably a decade away. I also forsee a time where isps whitelist allowed traffic only such as port 80 and mainstream ip's only in that port. The internet is a nightmare for the global elite. |

Looks like Pirate bay will be one of the first to be hidden by this link : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17894176
