In some countries (for example in my country) ISPs are legally required to block domains that are on government's "block list" in their resolvers. These domains are resolved to an IP address of a website with generic "this domain has been blocked" message. In my country this governmental block list contains domains of gambling-related services that don't have local license to operate in Poland (if you are interested, here is the list itself: https://hazard.mf.gov.pl/ - it contains 1107 domains at the time of this writing). If you want to see the "blocked" message, try http://145.237.235.240/ (it seems not to work over HTTPS?) - this is the IP address the "blocked" domains are resolved to when using the ISP's resolver (but not when using open resolvers like quad-8 or one's own recursive resolver). People may want to use open resolvers to get around this block (not that I would endorse this, because "illegal" gambling is subject to large fines, but as we all know there are always people who want to break the rules). -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
