My friend had posted a blog about a bicycle tour. I had kept the tab open, as I usually do.
Today, all of a sudden, it is blocked:
http://vivekv123.weebly.com/
I can bypass it, but I find it aggravating that random sites are blocked without cause or recourse. The weebly main site seems reachable so it looks like they are blocking sub-domains of weebly?
What steps can I take when I find a site that is blocked at whim like this?
This is on rise. It is being done without any checks, not sure if these can be contested or warning/notices are sent to website owners either.
Extremely arbitrary and senseless by the authorities, but no surprises there.
Weebly is a multi-site host, like WordPress. Users get name.weebly.com to point to their blog. This is akin to blocking all blogs on wordpress.org because of one user.
Edit: looks like it’s unblocked again on ACT.
Can confirm that I can open it on ACT in Delhi.
