It also connects to discord, supposed to be blocked since more than a week. No other device or browser I have connects to YouTube, they all get ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED, and only a fresh Vivaldi profile on the same pc also connects to Discord, everything else get ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.

I’ve tried disabling all extensions, it still connects. Checked its IP address and DNS server and they’re the same as other devices/browsers. Any idea what could be going on?

Cross posted from https://lemm.ee/post/45606568 to reach as many people before they unblock it and the chance to investigate is gone

24m edit: Discord just started working on some other chromium browsers including on another device.

80m edit: Another chromium browser just also connected. After deleting browser data it stopped

edit 3: found that if I add this to the servers section of a Network Persistent State file associated with a chromium browser profile (while the browser is closed), it can connect to youtube. Can’t explain why. (anonymization says https://www.youtube.com in base64):
{"alternative_service":[{"advertised_alpns":["h3"],"expiration":"13376788973168704","port":443,"protocol_str":"quic"}],"anonymization":["GAAAABMAAABodHRwczovL3lvdXR1YmUuY29tAA==",false],"server":"https://www.youtube.com","supports_spdy":true}

Edit 4: The block is over

    There’s an unusual report spike on downdetector.web.tr pretty recently on multiple sites.

    I am also affected by this, BTK shows no actions taken on their end according to these sites. My guess is that either a throttling is being done by the government silently; or it’s a genuine issue from a cloud server provider.

    If you want to access these sites, would reccomend ProtonVPN until this issue gets resolved.

      As this kind of thing happens after every public crisis and it stopped working on different networks at different times (vodafone was fine for a while in the beginning), I think it’s safe to say it’s intentional.

      And as I explained, the weird part is that my browser’s fine despite not using a vpn. No slowdown (on youtube at least) at all
