Hi Oonitarians,<br>
<br>
Today OONI, in collaboration with Access Now, published a research
report on our findings on <b>recent censorship events in Egypt</b>.<br>
<br>
You can find the report here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://ooni.torproject.org/post/egypt-censors/">https://ooni.torproject.org/post/egypt-censors/</a><br>
<br>
The key findings of our study include:<br>
<ul>
<li>We were able to confirm the <b>blocking of 10 news websites</b>,
including madamasr.com and aljazeera.net. It remains unclear to
us though if all of these sites were blocked under the Egyptian
government's recent censorship orders. </li>
<li><b>Link Egypt appears to be blocking access to the Tor
network.</b> On a positive note, the Tor network appears to be
accessible from the Vodafone Egypt and TE networks.</li>
<li>Link Egypt and Vodafone Egypt are <b>blocking access to
torproject.org, bridges.torproject.org....and even
ooni.torproject.org</b> (our own site).</li>
</ul>
Through the collection and analysis of network measurement data, we
were able to determine that Egyptian ISPs are using Deep Packet
Inspection (DPI) technology to RESET connections.<br>
<br>
You can find the network measurement data collected from Egypt
through the following links:<br>
