IP UNBLOCKSeveral prominent Indian Bloggers including Neha, Amit, Dina, Mridula and DesiPundit are reporting that blogspot.com blogs hosted on Blogger.com have been blocked by some ISPs in India. The situation is serious considering the fact that blogspot.com is the most popular blogging platform in India and a few hundred thousand Indian blogs are hosted on Blogspot. Which Indian ISPs are blocking Blogspot blogs ? Looking at the server referral logs, I can see recent traffic from BSNL, Satyam Sify, Airtel Broadband, TouchTel India, VSNL Sancharnet, AsiaNet and Bharti Cellular. However, there are no current referrals from Reliance Infocom, MTNL, Star Hathway and Tata Internet Services which may signal that they are indeed blocking access to blogspot sites. Update: Almost all Indian ISPs have blocked access to sites hosted on blogspot.com and geocities.com Who is to blame ? Indian Government or Local ISP ? While a Bangalore ISP Spectranet agent claims that they received a letter from Ministry of Communications to block blogspot sites in India, I am not very convinced since in that case, state owned ISPs VSNL and BSNL would have been at the forefront in implementing the notice. But as they are neither blocking Blogger.com or Blogspot.com, I feel the access has been restricted only by a couple of Private ISPs. The government may have issued a notification to block some blogs on *.blogspot.com and the intelligent ISPs went a step further and blocked the entire blogspot.com domain. Update: Confirmed that the Government of India [Ministry of Telecommunications] did issue a directive to block a few blogspot.com blogs in India. Whoever may be responsible, India has clearly joined the Internet Filtering Club of China, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Euthopia. If the access to restricted websites is not restored in a day or two, this issue is sure to gather active momentum in the Western blogosphere. How do I know if my ISP blocked access to Blogs ? ? Using DOS Ping Tool. Type the following commands in the MS DOS window (Start->Run->Cmd->Enter): Luckily, there are a ton of alternatives to access restricted websites. Here are some of the most popular workarounds: ? Via RSS Readers Fire up Newsgator, Bloglines, Google Reader or any other web based newsreader and subscribe to the blogspot blog rss by typing xxx.blogspot.com/rss.xml or xxx.blogspot.com/atom.xml in the URL field. ? Via RSS2Email Services Head over to Feedblitz, Bloglet or FeedBurner, type the blog address and you will automatically receive the entire blog posts in your inbox as soon as the blogger posts a story.

Read new tricks to access restricted websites I am a Blogger. How can I ensure my readers see my blogspot.com blogs ? Here are a couple of things that may help your blog fans in India, China or Pakistan read your blog even when the Government has blocked access to the sites: 1. Use Feedburner for syndicating Blog Content [tutorial] - even if the blogspot.com site is blocked, feeds hosted on feedburner will still be accessible. 2. The good news is that while blogspot.com site is blocked, blogger.com is still accessible which means bloggers can create/edit/delete posts or reader comments from the blog control panel. However if the blogger.com site is also blocked, here's what bloggers can do to administrate their blogs: ? Convert the Blogger.com Hostname to a Numeric IP address (http://66.102.15.100) - Most ISPs block site by name but not by IP address so this should work. ? If the ISP is smart and even blocks the numeric ip address, convert the IP address (66.102.15.100) to a decimal number (1113984868) - Now access the blogger start page by typing http://1113984868 The situation is serious considering the fact that blogspot.com is the most popular blogging platform in India and a few hundred thousand Indian blogs are hosted on Blogspot.
