Colleagues, Early last week, Small Media released the second iteration of its "Iranian Internet Infrastructure and Policy Report," which seems particularly relevant at this point, especially the comment:
*Where the Supreme Council of Cyberspace promotes new policies on the registration of VPNs, we can expect that unregistered VPN connection will be blocked and throttled. As VPNs have been one of the most popular anti-filtering mechanisms, this rhetoric also highlights the necessity of educating users on the new and differing types of anti-filtering technologies freely avail- able. * http://smallmedia.org.uk/content/78 For the sake of congruence between past works, I would also point out the isolation of the VPN registration site in Iran's private domestic network. vpn.ir. 3342 IN A 10.201.22.74 In the few days since the report was released, a lot has changed, and there has been progress in identifying the mechanism for Tor blocking. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8443 I suspect that Tor is not the only service that is subject to these new SSL DPI rules and service filtering, however, the extent is not fully clear yet.
