I just realized that RT (dot com) is inaccessible when Mullvad is enabled, even with all content blockers turned off. It says the DNS lookup failed. I tried from various countries too.
This post is not about endorsing or condemning any particular site, I just want to know if anyone knows whether there could be a technical reason for this? Or are we just banning sites we don’t like now?
Edit: Solved. RT is blocking some Mullvad nodes, not the other way around. Works with a random Albania server and I assume some others.
Did you try a different VPN? Many websites block VPNs from viewing their website, this is more likely the issue.
Edit: I have mullvad, RT works if you connect via Albania, I tried a few others and it didn’t work but there are probably other countries which work too
Yep, Albania works (3 other random countries I tried didn’t). I guess this is a block on the RT side, not Mullvad. Thanks.
It could be each government’s regulation as well, perhaps they are blocking RT at the national level
You mean the VPN? Changing server doesn’t fix it?
