Facebook not opening in Airtel?

[theserpent]

Hey guys is facebook blocked by airtel its not opening
Its giving an dns error

 

[clmlbx]

no, it is working in Airtel, but I just heard news that some ISP in India blocked facebook because of politics, came here find a article or discussion about it

where are you from? may it is blocked in your region,

one thing I forgot what might be the reason it's working over here, I am not using airtel DNS, I am using google DNS

 

[theserpent]

But its working in my cell(with airtel network)

 

[clmlbx]

yes, Airtel has blocked facebook, I switched to airtel DNS and it is not working..but good news is It is working with Google DNS, Just switch to google DNS and f*** airtel.. for censorship.

If you have turbo "on" in Opera then it will work with Airtel DNS too ...checked.

 

[theserpent]

Please Tell How to do it..

 

[clmlbx]

lol that was my 1500th post, Any more ISP Known about this issue? Well if Airtel has done all other ISP must have already done or will follow

 

[theserpent]

Hahah,I Tweeted them "You blocked facebook" How about we boycot yo

1. open the window where you enter your IP Address.
2. see last input boxes one below other with Label "prefered DNS server" and "alternate DNS server".

3. change prefered DNS server to 8.8.8.8
4. change alternate DNS server to 8.8.4.4

I am still not able to find some article on reliable site about it, Only thing I remembered is rumour which surface couple of months back regarding facebook shutdown on 15 March 2012...

 

[theserpent]

Found it

 

[clmlbx]

Hahah,I Tweeted them "You blocked facebook" How about we boycot yo

+1, any censorship should not be tolerated "+" I would like to add be reasonable with your tariff or soon I will boycott you, soon I find better or at least reliable like them

 

[theserpent]

I am going to blast at them

lol...yeah...looks like Facebook is blocked here by BSNL.

And they are dumb. when I type facebook.com it's not opening, but if I type Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More it opens

Well, that's cached URL of Pool Live Tour

But then if I try to view any picture or something the URL changes to facebook.com/something and alas...it's blocked.

What's going on man..!! Can't believe.

Oh,i remember theres a trial on facebook and google today in india,So theres chances of google to......

BSNL isnt blocking not for me atleast. directly went on via facebook.com

Change DNS to 4.2.2.1 or Google DNS 8.8.8.8


In mobile I prefer surfing via Opera Mini. No blocks will work through that
