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
