Is Steemit In Dubay Temporary Disabled??

in news •  7 years ago 

Is Steemit disabled in Dubai? My friends from Dubai haven't been able to access Steemit page from any browser for the past 2 days. Does any one have any information about the site being blocked or anything similar recently?
Thanks for any information.

Not a good news. It surprises me. I hope the issues will be resolved soon!

ohh its really bad news if its disabled or banned in dubai but i think any site connection issue maybe but not disabled @oldtimer

I am lucky to live in a country that doesn't block websites :)

I hope that is not true :O

Hopefully, the dubai's people can acses steemit soon.

Thank for information @oldtimer

No but they could try downloading a TOR browser and see if that helps.

Seems more likely a local problem than Steemit doing anything.

If government find out that you using TOR it's a big, big fine.

Maybe by your government,
but here in the US, I've never heard anything about using a TOR browser being illegal.

I tried it once back when Pillar Tokens came out, I was trying to buy in during the PreSale which sold out in under 40 minutes, and it was suggested we needed to use the TOR browser because it uses a proxy server.

This is for sites from overseas where they are blocking the US people from accessing, it makes it so they don't know what country you are from, because of the proxy, and then you could buy the token.

My experience is the browser is GARBAGE. but mainly because it didn't help me buy the tokens, it wasted precious minutes and in the end I bought my tokens directly from my ether wallet, no TOR actually needed.

It was just a Suggestion,
personally I don't care what the Fed says I can use to browse the web with...

F-Them, I am a god damn disabled iraq veteran - a decorated metal recipient. And I don't give two rat shits what the corrupt fed says about anything. I am poor & disabled because our government is war mongering a piece of shit, otherwise we'd have real prosperity shared by all in our country which we do not.

PS, the Fed is going to let the economic crash happen in Sept/Oct time frame, so like i said, F-them - they don't care about you. In fact, you wouldn't like the plan they have for you if this collapse happens and people riot, you are nothing more than cannon fodder to them.

PEACE OUT.

It's no disabled. I live in Sharjah city (just a few minutes from Dubai). Steemit is working fine.

With Etisalat works but not with du. That's the last info I get.

i think it is impossible

Bad news ...

may be a technical error

that should not happen.

is it working now after 12 hours ??

that's not a good news hope it just for few hours.

Interesting - why would they?

Whatever the case - I would not suggest to log on to any network, regardless of location, without adequately encrypted VPN! If an ISP blocks - a server in a different jurisdiction will cure the problem.

I don't know the laws in Dubay, but they could be weird sometimes.

Very distrustful - the UAE, even though it is the most open of the Islamic states. Not my cuppa tea.
