4chin gets fined £520,000 by the British authorities but refuses to pay. Next step will be ordering ISPs to block 4chan. As a bong, how can I keep accessing the site if 4chan doesn't allow posting via VPN
>>108406348Fuck off we're full
>>108406348auth third world censorship states like china, us, uk, brazil etc bring nothing of value to 4chin, its time to ban them and move on without the "people" from these countries
>>108406348Buy a pass for 30 USD it allows VPN posting.
Why would you deny yourself this opportunity to finally be free?
you can post via VPN if you have "trusted" cookies
>>108406364I've got a pass but it still won't let me post via VPN
>>108406348You use a non-shit ISP with DoH. IDnet, Andrews and Arnold etc If you’re with a major provider, you’re fucked.
>>108406377Huh I was told it would and I'm pretty sure it says it in the rules? Perhaps try a different server or email support.
>>108406384Dont know about the UK but in the US 99% of the country does not have a real competitor for ISP. They are all in kahoots and are careful not to offer more than one reasonable option for any given resident
>>108406356We’re really not. The boards are pretty slow now. The Captchas have worked too well.
>>108406348how did we manage to get to the point where actual 4chan.inc responses are only posted in illegible Twitter screencaps?£520,000 wasn't enough.
>>108406412We have multiple ISPs you can choose from. They’re all crooks, but it’s a much better situation than in America.
>>108406418>PoSTING frOM YOUR cUNT *IS TOTALLY BANNED* now GIVE US YUR eMAILhalf the world already thinks it banned anyway
>>108406377Maybe it's a free VPN? Or maybe even Mullvad (I know it's banned in a lot of places).
>>108406348Why dont Bong 4chan users just collectively pay the fine on behalf of 4chan
>>108406420You want an even bigger hamster?
>>108406451they know how TV loicensing workscough up just once and you'll drown in postal demands for more, or Bad Things Will Happen.
UK getting banned from 4chan would be a dream come true, one of the most annoying /ic/ + /g/ schizos is a britbong mobilefag.
>>108406348>how can I keep accessing the site if 4chan doesn't allow posting via VPNJust change your DNS provider to one of these: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/#recommended-providersMake sure to use DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS or DNS-over-QUIC so that your ISP/government cannot know your DNS queries.They already cannot know what IP addresses you are connecting to because 4chan is using Cloudflare.
>>108406514Who exactly?
I hope uk will shutdown 4chan and kiwifarms forever
>>108406384>muh DoHOh boy, those naive kids who didn't hear about DPI and blacklists (and now whitelists). Soon you'll learn about such things as VLESS, Xray, sing-box etc.

>>108406451It's not just a one-off fine. Ongoing fines of £800 per day until they comply
>>108406874let's call it a bajillion-squillion dollars, every phemtosecond for infinity, why the fuck not
>>108406546Changing DNS provider doesn't help with accessing pirate bay, sports streaming sites or other sites that bong ISPs are ordered to block
>>108406418Good. Higher posts per minute has always been directly correlated with low quality.Maybe people will actually start replying to multiple posts at once again.
>>108406694>Or, maybe, you could just stop sending Americans stupid letters and acknowledge the sovereignty of the United States.God I wish.
It will be interesting to see what will happen to the complying vs non-complying divide of websites and how their communities will develop.
>>108406885hmm
>>108406886Yes it does. Just use an unfiltered one with encryption, there are plenty.ISPs blocking access happens at the DNS level.With encrypted DNS queries, they only see that you connect to a DNS provider.If the site you are connecting to uses HTTPS and a cloud DDOS protection such as Cloudflare, Azure, AWS or Google cloud they can only see that you connect to that cloud network, they also have no idea on what content you are viewing or which IP addresses you are connecting to.
>>108406694based
>>108406566DPI takes time to implement. Western countries are years away from this.
>>108406566In the UK, the blocks are made the responsibility of the ISP, and the ISP just has to be able to claim they've done enough. There isn't really a strict definition of how they implement that block.Because the ISP have very little to gain by rigorously blocking things (all they want is legal compliance, and anything more is just annoying their users), they just block it via their DNS. You can just set a custom DNS to circumvent pretty much all blocks.Russia and China are different as they have a more top down control of the internet.
>>108406886It circumvents DNS blocks. Generally by default you're using your ISP's DNS, so if the ISP DNS blocks something when your network asks them what the address is for the blocked domain name, they respond "nothing, get lost" and the site is effectively "blocked".It's trivial to circumvent. Technically you don't even need to change DNS, you can open your hosts file on windows and manually enter any domain name there.It does not circumvent all blocking, but this is the most common type because realistically ISPs don't give a single fuck what you're browsing and only do the bare minimum for compliance
lads if my 4chan gets taken away from medon't forget me.......
>>108407067think of all the kids you're saving
>>108407028Eh, that's not quite true. The hostname gets sent in the clear during the TLS handshake with the server hosting the site. They can then decide to block connections to that IP. Most ISPs are too lazy for this, but it's technically possible.
>>108406348These mofos are on fucking drugs in the UK. Tell them to get stuffed.
But I'm not British.
>>108406694Absolutely love this lol. God fuck these stupid assholes already.>>108406768It is unprofessional and professional misconduct to knowingly send legal threats to foreign jurisdictions that your country has no authority in. Those people are on fucking drugs.

There's no chance of it happening, but I'd like to see some other country try to do the opposite and forbid these kinds of checks, with fines if they do implement them.
>>108407354This is bongland, they've been doing this kind of shit for the past 2 or 3 decades.
>>108407175>CorbynThat muppet would have us dismantle our nukes and all hold hands singing kumbaya whilst waiting to get blasted

>>108407062In that case would lmao pihole fix the issue? Doesn’t that act as a private DNS server?
>>108407405I think by default pihole acts as a forwarder, not a recursive dns server. Unfortunately resolving hostnames recursively requires unencrypted DNS, which your ISP can intercept and either redirect to their own DNS server or modify. Forwarding means that you're functionally using someone else's recursive server, but you can then use DoH or DoT to prevent your ISP from mucking with responses.
>>108407405It'd work but not because of pihole. pihole is just a layer in between you and the upstream DNS server. You still have to call up another service like google, cloudflare, cisco, openNIC etc. Simply changing the DNS server to one of those does the trick, pihole has no role to play
>>108407061It's not just about compliance. DPI both costs money and degrades latency/performance.
>>108407239Fucking based. I’m not a Stones fan and had completely forgotten about this song. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RcZn2-bGXqQ

>>108406348why british people such faggot homosexuals? why do they like man dick in their man poop holes?britishniggers i just don't understand
>>108407446I didn't know that. That's another element then, and one more reason for ISP's to do the bare minimum.Their methods are easy to circumvent, but they don't really have any reason to try and block that last single digit percent of people who will get around it.In principle things are bad, but in practice it really doesn't affect me.
>>108407175>hopefully itll also let me get into imgur againImgur blocked UK users on their own platform, it is not blocked by ISPs or by a judge ruling. You can't bypass this block unless your IP address is outside of the UK. To use Imgur you need a VPN or go to another country.
>>108407542Yeah, given that DNS based blocking probably gets 99.9% of users, that's probably good enough that the govt won't harass them about the last 0.1%.
>>108406694lmao
>this gay faggot posting ai slop is actually related to 4chanGod, the hack should have killed 4chan for real. Gone are the day of the site being run by a nerd(prior to meeting Jeff) and moderated by actual users like Snack.
>>108406874It's also completely retarded. OFCom has no jurisdiction as 4chan isn't a UK company nor does it do any business in the UK, which is why mocking their stupidity with a giant hamster, or indeed a marmot is not only apropros but also quite restrained. I would have sent them a picture of King George III's decapitated head with a bald eagle pissing on it.
>>108406348But why a hamster. Why not a bag of dicks.

>>108408094You have states passing shit like this. Texas laws requiring age verification for porn, California laws requiring the OS to provide ages. No leg to stand on. Bongland has never truly been European, and they are fully cucked. Continental Europe is the only western place that has a chance of avoiding this shit.
>>108407991how is wanting 4chan to verify the age of british users ONLY, restricting the free speech of americans?
I really hope this ends up being nothing, like it has been for the past half a year. I mean, so far it's only been threats. I imagine of Offcom went after a big company, that wasn't money hungry or privacy, Offcom would shut their shit up immediately.So far Offcom has never acted on these threats yet, only companies that have caved, so maybe they're just a paper tiger and can't do shit.Similar lawsuits and fines have been dropped because "jurisdiction doesn't apply between countries".
>>108407212i'm glad i use grapheneos, shit like this at least can be properly handled.https://grapheneos.org/features#duress
>>108408161ofcom is going after X, 4chan is just testing their water on how much pushback there is
>>108408130If blocking the country isn't considered enough, how do you verify only ages of those people without verifying who they are first?
>>108408129yeah because you faggots keep flooding every image board, every porn site full of degenerate loli shota pedo shit that's magically somehow not considered child pornography, and then utilize AI to make more of it.

>>108406715Since most Spanish ISPs banned the pirate bay, I've been using a UK based proxy to access it ヽ(´ー` )
I don't even understand how the UK can "fine" some random company that doesn't even exist in the UK. How could this even work? It's clearly just posturing of some sort.
>>108408236literally nigerian prince tier scam
>>108408236>that doesn't even exist in the UK.Their logic is "if you can access it from the UK then you fall under British jurisdiction" thus why every porn site even those located in America, Israel or whatever country is age restricted or blocked.>How could this even work? That's the thing, it doesn't. They only force this shit without going to court, because if they want to US coult, it would immediately be dismissed.

Offcom have yet to take action on websites that have ignored their fines or completely ignored them.

>>108408491>someone in iran imported one of your products>you're now subject to iranian lawthis has never been how the real world works, take your meds
>>108408236A country can try to fine whatever it wants, it could even be for activities that don't occur or involve any person in that country. Collecting that depends on what it's about and how much it can influence another country or company to do it.
>>108408525>operate business inside germany>make money from ads viewed by germans>you're now subject to german lawsyes, that's literally how it works. That's why so many US sites geoblocked all of europe as soon as gdpr was put in place.
>>108406348People seem to think that Ofcom is dumb and didn't know how this would turn out. They never had any intention of collecting any money from 4chan, they know they can't. This is about escalating things back home. Soon they will have enough evidence to simply turn off 4chan in the UK.
>>108408525>>someone in iran imported one of your productsThen the importer is the person facing the repercussions. However, if you sold to the Iranian in rial (or more likely USD), imported it (or let someone import it for you) and offer it to other Iranian customers you indeed are actively partaking in the Iranian market. 4chan could easily prove it had no special interest in the UK by not ever serving ads in the UK, collecting the data from any user with an UK locale set or IP and not accepting GBP for their passes. >this has never been how the real world worksIf that were true you could just easily sell anything from one country where the product is legal to any other country where the product isn't legally sold or acquired in general. This isn't the case. If it was the case, tariffs would be impossible to justify. Additionally you'd just have a country that bribes loads of accepted countries to be accepted as well and then have that newly accepted country have no laws restricting weapons, drugs or other goods other countries might deem illegal and import said goods into those other countries.
>>108408437Which is sad, bc the lawyer's letter is funny af. Oh well. I'll just keep posting content. Be the change you want to see and all that.
>>108408525This actually is how the world works for physical items lol. Basically as >>108408581 states. Things do not move between countries without people names attached to them. You know, customs forms and such. And btw, if US company is involved sending to Iran, there's actually 2 issues. 1) selling to a blocked regime gets you in trouble with US 2) those imports are also subject to whatever tariffs, regulations, laws etc. for Iran. This is ancient case law going back 100's of years, now being (mis)applied to the internet. a

Honestly wouldn't mind if they brought 4channel back. I pretty much never touch the NSFW boards anyway these days.
>>108408658>SamefaggingTry again, maybe next time tell me how tariffs can exist.
>>108408560That's not how that works at all. There might be an argument against the advertising network, or even the brands campaigning their ads with them, but the actual website has no liability here unless they operate infrastructure within Germany.Most of that geoblocking was done by the DNS servers within those respective countries. The ones that did it themselves were legally obtuse and just didn't want to be bothered by all of this.>>108408581> If that were true you could just easily sell anything from one country where the product is legal to any other country where the product isn't legally sold or acquired in general.This happens all the time. When it gets caught in customs, the person importing the product gets the boot, not the vendor. Loli hentai and sex dolls are a prime example of this in countries like Canada and Australia.
>>108406694grown ass man btw
>>108408685>the person importing the product gets the boot,Correct because that's easier than fining a company that's in a foreign country. However, you will not be sued unless the product in itself can not be legally acquired (like drugs). >First example he thinks of is child sex dollsMy first thought went to knock offs...

>>108408838>pedo calling anyone else crazy
>>108408737Yes. The main obstacle in getting people to sign up and create accounts on pornographic websites is the fact that nobody wants to hand over their data. People who hand over their data tend to also spend money with those sites. So if you can get a law passed that forces everyone to create an account, you're going to sell a lot more premium content and make a lot more money. Furthermore, people aren't going to want to do this for every site, so once they've signed up and verified their age for one of the big sites, they're basically locked in and are unlikely to visit any others.

>>108408873You can just not pay them and then the products get held by customs. You can just not pay fines and get your website blocked in those countries. It's the same. They can't do shit.

>>108408863I'm more bothered by the websites that are outright blocked. Face or ID scanning which is being used to track you and train an AI on facial recognition is one thing, being outright blocked is another.
>>1084063481) ByeDPI or a similar DPI spoofing tool. Assuming they are blocking the 4chan domain and not IPs (very likely).2) Get a pass3) The extent of 4chan VPN block is that they check your IP against a list of VPN and datacenter IPs that they get from somewhere. If your IP is not on this list (which is possible though not certain with smaller hosting companies), you can post no problem.

>>108409692>Shouldn't we call politicians and companies that want children data pedos? They are the ones that want to harvest this data badly...That's obvious. Politicians are already pedos. All this is data collection is so minors can get a fast track to their private islands.
>>108409692Well you see anon, they put a man on TV with the subtitle "expert" below him, and he said "This is good and necessary because muh children" so now no one will ever criticize them and all normies instantly accepted it wholeheartedly and will call you a weirdo creep who has something to hide if he's against this.It sucks to be Cassandra, doesn't it?
Remember to vote Restore lads
>>108407108Exactly. There's nothing inappropriate about the response.
>>108406430>they’re all crooksVirgin, BT, TalkTalk and Sky are not the only ISPs
>>108409567ECH will not be needed as HTTP/3 gets used more. it will be mostly beneficial to protocols perma-stuck with TCP.but this is all moot as already discussed. ISPs do a DNS block and call it a day. there is zero reason for them to cost themselves money when they don't have to.
>>108406348in officiality here in turkey 4chan has been banned for nearly 15 years but only thing you can do is a dns and you can access it >>108406886i used to torrent it with just a dns back in the day(2017)
>>108406614Disprove it then.
>>108407067Fucking pirate fuck off.
>>108409836Can you recommend a good one then? I'm currently with an unknown meme ISP called Onestream, and they double the prices every six months just like the big ones, so fuck them. I'm out of contract so I can change whenever.
>>108409590that's why i said moot could never...
>>108406348>Next step will be ordering ISPs to block 4chanExactly. 4chan called their bluff. They won't do shit.
>>108406348Wrong think is an arrestable offence bong
>>108406377Just ssh into someone's house through their non-free smart tv.
>>108406412It used to be that way but now cellular is fast, you have starlink, and a bunch of the administrative moat was broken down.
>>108407398It will never be past it date, there is nothing that comes close to 4chan, the day that Iran bombs the 4chan server in Israel is then it will end.
>>108406872Google delisted the 8 place - totally, at the direction of the famous mossad jewish group the adl. (the 8 place is still on the filters, I think - but it's a defunct site as of several years)
just trawled through their disclosed resolutions, and either the other party paid the fine, blocked UK access or went under altogether. I don't think ofcom have actually banned any website domestically yet, that could be another 24 momths to work through the courts
>>108408437animeavatar fags will never stop seething about twitter lol
>>108410950>I don't think ofcom have actually banned any website domestically yetThere were a lot of small forums which panicked and closed down without any fuss as soon as the Online Safety Act came in. That was a pile of shit.
>>108410981Couldn't they just... uh... move the servers elsewhere?
>>108410981Nigel J. Whiskerford must be avenged
>>108411107If it's run by someone living there that's not enough.
>>108410981ham bros...
>>108408491LMAO
>>108408718the problem with allowing vpn/tor is that it makes ban evasion trivial
>>1084109814chan's big hamster was revenge this whole time?! Based!
>>108411191You already get a harder captcha if your account (cookie) is unknown. For tor/vpn make it even harder and allow posting with your cookie. You're already browsing and posting with it before you say you don't like it.
>>108411219i suppose allowing vpn/proxies if you have an existing 4chan cookie might work as if you get it banned you'd need a legit ip again, there's probably not a lot of applications for this since you'd need some way to post without one first
>>108406614as far as i'm concerned, a website being accessible over the internet doesn't mean it needs to adhere to every law in every country.to me it's like if i flew to the US, entered a shop, and complained they were selling something illegal in /my/ country. why would they care? i came to them, their shop isn't in my country.
>>108411219>>108411233also just making tor/vpn user captchas super hard and annoying might work as well. like make them really earn that trusted cookie so they won't want to lose it with a ban
>>108411263Another country can certainly make that a crime too, but in almost every situation it's completely impossible to enforce and the consequences of doing so would be worse.
>>108408667>chrome>phonepostingbecause you're being tracked by every app and website you visit. install brave.
>>108411364if that became generally enforceable it would kill the internet dead. practically that'd mean 4chan would be restricted to only serving US ip's, which isn't very "inter-"
>>108411384If actually enforced by countries agreeing to do whatever some other one wants no matter how stupid it would. There's no reason at all it that an ip restriction like that has to be considered enough either. It's just as possible to make a bad law saying being accessible in any way, even through vpn or other method still applies, or that a citizen outside the country has to be checked the same way.
>>108411405if a country doesn't want it's citizens to view a particular website, they can block it themselves. many already do this. if they don't want them to access it anyway like through a vpn, they can block vpn's too.they'd probably rather not because this is what china does and nobody wants to be compared with china
>>108406348where does Ofcom get off trying to fine companies in other countries that don't have a subsidiary in bongland? just ban 4chan and be done with it, you don't see Russia and China throw tantrums like this, quite a few countries just ban websites they don't like instead of acting like blustering buffoons. really why don't bongs just rangeban themselves off the internet entirely? it'd be an improvement.
>>108406377You need a 2015 pass or older>>108407203This is Hiro in disguise lying to sell more passes
>>108406362>third world>usThe second and third world are *defined* by not being the US. Although I suppose you could argue WW2/the cold war killed the US and so in a sense we are actually third world and there's no first world anymore.Damn.
>>108411424I don't think anywhere outside China does more than voluntary ISP DNS blocking. If you have 1.1.1.1 in /etc/hosts you wouldn't even notice it was blocked. No need for a VPN.
>>108406922You say that, but generals out there are barely hanging on. No one gives a shit about tradition or board culture anymore. It's all disingenuous posting and shilling the whole way down.
>>108406362cope
>>108411424They need legal reasons for that, they can't just block websites. The only way to do it is by judges order.
The same Ofcom that's not doing enough about GBeebies and turning a blind eye to Reform UK's TV channel.
>>108411996They're just doing it because it's funny.
Ironically 4chan complied to their stupid law before labour added the ID verification amendments to the OSAWe have the necessary reporting tools, and active moderation (say what you like about them, but they do nuke anything actually *illegal*)Plus the ID verification stuff happened after the UK prime minister was introduced to Peter Thiel at a private meeting when he visited the US, just sayin'
>>108409317true but it implies that even Cloudflare knows
>>108411172>aged 20 years in a 3 years time-windowsthat means its working
>>108406362Ban the country hosting the site to save the site. Genius!
>>108406451A Molotov cocktail to their office would be cheaper.>>108406872Are Brits really that retarded? Must be all that inbreeding.

>>108410943The [Number] kun apparently got blocked over that shooting and it got whacked because it was too small to resist. Apparently the place was full of schizos anyway. Shame about the altchan that hijacked the domain, though.
>>108406348I know how but I'm not gonna tell you because if you can't figure it out you don't belong on /g/.
>>108410981>>108411143Brits are genuinely so cucked they will just shut down a forum about literal hamsters because of bullshit law.No wonder their country degraded so badly it's incapable of digging holes to gather water.

How long is Queer Stormer going to remain in office? Can he actually hold on until '27?
>>108412859Until the Iran thing he was very much on his way out, but standing his ground against trump won him some points.
just a quick test, hello from "latvia"
>>108409567does 4chan support ECH?
>>108413093no, from experience, barely any sites do.here is a test one that does:https://defo.ie/ech-check.php
Step 1. Grab gunStep 2. Grab freedomYou should be aware of this, see 1776.
I have a couple of servers I rent hosted in other countries, what's stopping me from browsing here on those through a remote X11 session?
>>108413142for one, there's no need to actually run a browser on the server itself, you can use a vpn or socks proxy. 4chan can't detect those directly, only http proxies can be.i used to be able to do this with my vps, but not anymore, i think they added datacentre ips to the list as well to prevent this (i was only using it to post while overseas in a country that 4chan didn't accept posts from, not for ban-evasion, not that it'd be all that helpful for ban-evasion since it's just one extra static ip).
>>108406348Ohh no, another strongly worded letter by aome terrorists
