Virgin UK is blocking DNS Resolution to kiwifarms dot net

[CWCissey]

I can see the Farms just fine without using vpn. IPVanish is pretty good if you need a low-cost vpn, though.

Why is Kiwi Farms getting blocked and not Twitter, where apparently ISIS (or whatever they're called today) yap and recruit freely? I guess laughing must be more of a crime here in Britbongistan.

Mincing bald paedo-terrorists don't screech and stomp their tiny feet at Twatter.

How could the same people who brought us John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, and so many others have brought us this unfathomable cuckoldry?

 

[Poiseon]

We should start an organization evacuating Kiwi refugees from the totalitarian dictatorship that is Britbongistan.

No, Brother. All Kiwis behind enemy lines are expected to wage Gorilla War against the oppressors. All our Kiwis should be experienced in Jihad, Gorilla Warfare, and Wilderness Survival Tactics. Our only choice is war.

The Farms shall be victorious. All Heil Null.

Gotta balance it out somehow. We've spawned some of the best. We also produce the scummiest of scum too.

Also it's pretty funny that Sky has blocked kiwifarms on the grounds of Weapons.

Had Sky broadband for about three years and never had issues getting on the farms when the hell did that happen?

No you haven't.

The block only happens if you leave the child safety on.

 

[Baby Pom]

The block only happens if you leave the child safety on.

Why would anyone in their right mind leave it on?

Depends, do you have a license to turn it off?

I don't know if Branson has anything to do with Virgin Media anymore he got rich by building up virgin companies and then selling them off to someone else while he made a new one.

Ah here we go: "

• Virgin Media (including Virgin Mobile UK): UK Cable TV, broadband internet and Fixed and Mobile telephony provider—bought by Liberty Global"

I believe Liberty also had a considerable share in Charter while John Malone was trying to speed up their merger with Time Warner Cable and Bright House.

 

[Ruin]

Remove fish & chips.

 

[CWCissey]

No you haven't.

More than Aussieland has. Courtney Barnett, Crocodile Dundee, a croc poker and the cast of Neighbours?

 

[Zebedee]

I value my freedom of speech too highly for this prick to shut me up. Sky tried it and failed, so will Branston pickle man.

Time for another gunpowder plot I say.

 

[CWCissey]

Just tested my phone on a Virgin connection. Seems fine, and considering I'm in a large urban conurbation (and near Virgin's HQ!) that's surprising.

I'm wondering if we've been rused...

 

[Dick Justice]

Google logs all DNS requests, use anything else.

I'm honestly shocked it even got recommended

Null did you forget some gremlin working for them tried to start shit with us last year?

 

[Goodbye Horses]

This is almost certainly a routing issue due to Virgin's technical incompetence rather than an attempt at censorship. Last year I had the exact same problem with users on Virgin being unable to connect to our corporate VPN and intranet due to a stale route which it took them about a month to clear. I'd still recommend moving to a different ISP, but mainly because Virgin's network is ancient shit held together with stickytape and chewing gum and administrated by fuckwits.

On Virgin. Working fine. Reporting in in case this data is somehow useful.

Agreed.

Linder was pissed that her Virgin Internet and telly gave out for Christmas Day. Right in the middle of The Grinch too!

Regardless of intention, it's a cautionary tale. The fact that nobody in this thread was surprised at the prospect of the UK implementing China-level firewalls is a warning that all UK kiwis should get a VPN going pronto.
