Iran Blocks VPN Ports

Posted by timothy on from the why-do-you-hate-freedom dept.

First time accepted submitter Parham90 writes "After the Iranian post-election events that led to massive riots and break-outs through the world, the Iranian government started blocking all social websites, including Facebook, Youtube, Orkut, MySpace and Twitter. The Iranians, however, started using VPN (virtual private network) connections to bypass censorship. Since Thursday, September 30, 2011, all VPN ports have however been blocked, in the first attempt to start what the Iranian government calls the 'National Internet.'"

    Yes. Invade.
    Take the side of the people who want freedom. The religious zealots, fascists and other authoritarian types be damned. It's time to liberate Iran.
