Is VPN a workaround for this?

[–] Argyle13@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Yes, many people have to use VPN to use Internet without problems when there is a football match. It is sickening.

How do these blocks work on a technical level? Are these DNS blocks? Are there any DNS providers who do not take part in this?

[–] ryper@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 days ago

It's by IP:

The maths is brutal. On a match day, blocking just 4 to 20 IP addresses knocked out more than 400,000 unrelated domains. The outage lasted as long as the game.

None of this is new in kind, only in scale. Courts across Europe have long ordered providers to block pirate sites. Spain runs one of the continent’s most aggressive regimes. What has changed is the plumbing. The web now runs on shared infrastructure, so a crude IP block is a shotgun, not a scalpel.

They basically block off Cloudflare while there is a game going on.

Basically internet providers are blocking a range of IPs, so DNS does not matter.

[–] pewpew@feddit.it 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The same thing happens here in Italy with the Piracy Shield (TM) which blocks a ton of websites even some legit ones. It's so easy to bypass, just change the DNS.

[–] Argyle13@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Here the block depends mainly on who is your Internet provider. If you are with Movistar, O2 or Digi, you are fucked and can,t see many webs while there is a football match (during winter nearly every day and all weekend). I have Orange, no problem at all. I suppose that Yoigo users also are safer (same group as Orange). With Vodafone, no idea. This, apart from La Liga fuckery, has algo something about provider incompetence. All providers are obliged to this block, but some of them don,t discriminate, while some others do.
