deno.land is not accessible in US sanctioned countries #27

Open ehsan2003 opened 2 years ago

deno.land website is not accessible in Iran and thus we can't install modules in deno.land directly ( we must use a vpn ) and this applies for other under-sanction countries like north Korea and Syria I think it's probably an issue with hosting services.

i should add even with VPN website is unavailable. Hosting service not only banned sanctioned countries like Iran, but also known VPN IP pools.

The website not being accessible a country has nothing to do with sanctions. It is the country’s government that does not let it.

I explicitly said even with remote VPN IPs, website is unavailable. Hosting service not only banned nations' IP addresses, but also known VPN IP pools used by people in such countries.

We use large commercial vendors for our infrastructure, mainly AWS, Cloudflare and Google. Deno Land Inc., through commercial company formed to support Deno is a US based company.

While we haven't taken active steps to exclude countries that are sanctioned by the US, our vendors have.

We are looking at replatforming the module hosting in the near future and will consider the impact of trying to make 3rd party modules hosted on deno.land as widely available as possible given what is possible with our hosting providers and the legal framework we have to operate under.

@kitsonk Just to mention, these sanctions not only applies on deno.land website, but applies for all the websites hosted by Deno Deploy. all the sites hosted by Deno Deploy are not accessible in Iran. (other competitors don't have this problem. e.g. Vercel is fully available in Iran)
