I fucking hate that ISPs just decide to block certain websites!

Sky for example blocks a bunch of things related to Tor. You can't go to the website, and can't even install stuff like tor browser from AUR, because it has tor in the download url. The connections simply time out.

Yes, I can use a VPN to install Tor, I'll probably have to do that. But fuck!!! Many VPN providers' websites are also blocked.

This seems to be common practive. In my previous flat we had Virgin. They blocked the website of all VPN providers they could find, and even kept me from establishing a connection to some of those providers. In that case I could donwload Tor (surprisingly) and then tried a bunch of clients until one of them worked.

It's fucking pretentious, and I don't think I'll find anything about blocking perfectly legal resources in any of their T&Cs.

    @Artemix it's supposed to be on my profile:) And yea this practice keeps getting worse.

    I guess surveillance would be less noticeable if they just let you access things. Blocking stuff like VPN is like trying to make you feel guilty for wanting reasonable privacy.

    setting up an ssh tunnel to a vps usually remedies this kind of bullshit reasonably well.
