#geoblock — Public Fediverse posts

My university uses #Geoblocking of known evil countries.

#Geoblocking is a very sensible and appropriate security measure, as it ensures that

only those with evil and hostile intentions get to your sites -
because for those, geoblocking is easy to circumvent -

while all normal naive believers in global connectivity - such as scientists, academics, students - are left out.

I commend the use of #geoblock

Very happy to be working with my friends and colleagues in #Nepal again.
Our oldest memories go back nearly 20 years, when we deployed #wifi in the #himalaya - two old pictures included.

#mastodon presence in #Nepal still small (i guess) (pls shout if you are in Nepal!)

and anyway this post would be invisible to them, as my university has a #geoblock against all of Nepal ... duh :(

"AvroTros: Geoblock op de serie Hila Noorzai, Taliban konden de docu niet zien"

Ik geloof dat #AvroTros nog nooit van #VPN heeft gehoord.

In a couple of weeks #BBC will #geoblock access to its #BBCSounds app outside the UK. Fair enough I guess. The wife and I use it a lot. I already use get_iplayer and RSS feeds to download programmes and Podcasts I want. But my wife wants to continue listening-back to earlier shows on her iPhone in the car.
Suggestions for free or paid solutions?

Es ist faszinierend zu beobachten, wie durch PORT-Scanning versucht wird, potenzielle Sicherheitslücken aufzudecken. #GEOBlock #Firewall #OPNSense

SMH. Ad blocking in reverse.

I was poking around to see what the scuttlebutt was regarding the odds on the Stanley Cup game 7.

The site is in Edomonton, Canada, I am in US.

In the link below, there was an embedded ad.

What I saw was the ad was GEO-blocked for me.

Anyway, I am picking the Oilers because the pressure is on the Panthers to not choke after having a 3-0 lead in the Best of 7 series.

@ednl @petervalkema ach ja voorheen waren _alle_ 🇮🇹 koersen uitsluitend op @Eurosport te zien. Maar dit was (voor mij tenminste) voor het eerst een #geoblock op tv.

@crossgolf_rebel #GeoBlock|ed in der Schweiz. :(

Had my first run in with a #geoblock on #Netflix today. Five season into a series after some months of watching, today it was suddenly gone from my list and not possible to find with search.

Excuse me, but, how can this be considered acceptable in any way, shape or form? Now, I whipped out my VPN and got the content right back to me, but most people do not have the knowledge (or will to learn) to do this.

#Paywalled/Adwalled links are surprisingly common in the #Fediverse.

Content that's not accessible without conditions is not part of the open web.

How should we deal with this? A bot that replies with an unblocked link? cw?
