The Department of Telecom in India, recently ordered the blocking of several large web sites, such as The Pirate Bay, and even Vimeo.
Large Internet providers in India are thus instructed to block these web sites and display the following message instead:
“This site has been blocked as per instructions from Department of Telecom (DOT) .”
Domainer Jay Mahal from DesigningTips sent us the following screenshot, showing that BuyDomains.com is being blocked in India as well!
We were able to independently confirm that the blocking of BuyDomains in India is real, by using the proxy IP 203.193.131.85 (port 80) located in India.
Meanwhile, as many as 600 million people are left without power for the better part of the day today in India, due to failure of the power grid to sustain its efficiency.
