Blogger blocked by some ISPs in India?

There are some unconfirmed reports that Blogspot.com/ geocities.com etc blocked by some ISPs in India.

It is learnt later that government has given directives to block some blogs hosted in blogspot.com but some ISPs blocked all off blogspot.com and Geocities.com.

If anyone is having more on this please post here.

I was not able to access blogspot.com for sometime. But now I can access thru' MTNL ISP.

 

Damn guys all my blogs blocked

Hope we can access them back ASAP.

 

I am able to login to blogger but not able to open any blogs.

Not the ones u gave too

 

here is work fine...... why they blog ohh i mean blocked the some good writers ohh damm it.. i means to say... ISPs....

 

I can log on to my account at blogspot.com. But can not access any of my bolgs at *.blogspot.com

It must be some stupid reason.
If you remember Indian Government had blocked entire yahoo groups instead of blocking particular group.

 

Yahoo groups have always worked fine for me.
also iam able to view my blogs after waiting for 5mins each.

The India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) passed an order to ISPs Friday to block several websites. Including Blogspot, Typepad and Geocities.

Many Indian Bloggers are planning to file a RTI!!

To access Blogspot blogs, use www.pkblogs.com

Cheers!

I blogged about it and wrote some workarounds too

This UPA government is totally stupid , useless and a burden to the nation.

 

I also checked my all bloger, but no one is opening. before 12 hours its working fine. I create 3 blog. But all gone. I think. Can we access our blog in future or not. It small or big problem? If blogger not opens Its too bad. because i m promoting my blog from a year. I have 25 Blogs.
I think their are lots of persons like me which got a shock with this news. Because they devote their attention to blogger

Hope this matter will solved soon

Anyone from USA, UK tell us "Blogger is opening or not"?

 

This was probably initiated by the Pakistan Telecom Authority some 3 months back and blogspot entire domain is blocked in the country,probably the same ting ahppened to india!!!
to access the blogs just visit http://www.pkblogs.com/ thats a gateway designed by some Pakistani students to allow users to access there blogs!

 

This is gonna kill some of my traffic for sure...

 

Im not sure if any one has seen this.
Apparently the Govt of India has sent Indian ISPs a list of urls to block.

India Blocks Blogs

 

They are working perfectly here.

EDIT: I see they would be blocked by monday, thats really sick.

 

china doesnt even blog typepad, they're blocking blogspot though

 

This is so shitty about indian govt. One of my best blog is running with typepad only.

 

That really sucks. I wonder how many blogs are going to be deleted or just left idling because of this. So what are Indian bloggers going to do with their blogs???

 

You can still use a proxy to access them, right?

 

will it be possible to make login in typepad using proxy

Google Should talk over this issue to our govt.

 

i had switched to WP when blogspot was banned in Pakistan!
