6 years ago Thanks for the notification! We are aware of that but in the short-term there doesn't seem to be much wen can do. This appears to be related to the Telegram block.

6 years ago Yes, it's consequences of attempts by the censor to block telegram. Even VPS which is used as a proxy server are blocked. It's a shame for the country...

6 years ago @roman90sv Can you check again? We got some reports that AMO isn't being blocked in Russia currently.

6 years ago @jvillalobos It's no use, they keep on blocking/unblocking stuff randomly.

6 years ago @roman90sv we asked people in Russia to try connecting to AMO and they didn't report any problems. I'm asking to try to figure out if this is a regional problem, a temporary one, or something else.

6 years ago @jvillalobos The website is available now (for me). But it's not sure that the website will be available tomorrow. Some users complained about the problems with synchronization.
This is a regional problem (varies between ISPs)+temporary problem (blocking/unblocking IPs randomly everyday)+something else. :)

6 years ago It seems that the set of IP addresses for addons.mozilla.org changes regularly, therefore the problem can appear and disappear again.
Yesterday addons.mozilla.org was resolving into 34.209.9.196, 35.166.74.225, 35.167.92.222; all those addresses were blocked in Russia (34.192.0.0/10 and 35.160.0.0/13 network ranges are blocked), therefore https://addons.mozilla.org/ was completely unreachable.
Today addons.mozilla.org resolves into 35.166.74.225, 35.167.92.222, 52.89.239.72. Two of these addresses (35.166.74.225 and 35.167.92.222) are still blocked in Russia, but the 52.89.239.72 address is reachable, therefore https://addons.mozilla.org/ is available, but with long delays caused by timeouts for unreachable addresses (my ISP just drops packets to blocked addresses).

5 years ago Might IPFS lend itself to issues such as this in the future?

2 months ago Apparently Mozilla now (had to?) comply and remove some extensions that could be used to circumvent censorship in Russia…

2 months ago Also FYI https://isitblockedinrussia.com/?host=addons.mozilla.org may help.
"Roskomnadzor" (Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media) is now blocking a wide range of IP addresses, including addresses that belong to mozilla: 34.192.0.0/10 34.192.0.0/10 54.64.0.0/13 So, the website is not always available to users in Russia.
UPD: +accounts.firefox.com by 35.160.0.0/13 & 54.144.0.0/12
I know how to solve this problem - VPN. But I wanted to notify mozilla team about what happened.
