What is on Your Mind?

I do have a question about the great cyber wall of certain countries, like the UK for example. For years I just fetched once a week a public podcast that recently answered "notukerror", by chance I read just this weekend on slashdot about this topic. Does this mean the efforts enhanced by the EME and companies like Net..ix are the frontrunner to keep users out? In other words, is geoblocking going to get more sophisticated? Do I have to go underground? If somebody living outside the great wall of China has some similar occurencies, I would like to have a hint, not how to solve it, but if I am the only user looking at his screen, telling me, nope, your IP comes from abroad, you are not allowed to connect here.
Thanks in advance.

I don't get what all you are asking. But part of the answer is:
Big companies geoblock all the time.
Countries where the government does not like unreviewed content, the same occurs.
To my knowledge, Britain does not geoblock every IP from Brazil. Try this to test: Google

The other possibility is that the podcast company's version of antimalware is blocking a part of the IP range you are in.

Brazil is not blacklisted on the datasets we have. Your ISP may be. And you may be dealing in the UK with a company or its subsidiary that just got a new blacklist. And, your ISP is on it.

'Underground' has a negative side:
FWIW: A lot of security people are trying to learn how to deal with 'underground' or dark net services like tor.
Unless you are really security savvy, messing around in a lot of dark net sites may get your system irreversibly trashed. So say the security guys at my company.

Instead of doing something counterproductive, see if you can find a way to email the podcast site owner, in order to see if s/he can help some way.

@jim mcnamara I do not care about hidden services or the onion router (TOR) never used it. Three years ago I asked the team of the BBC if there is a change in their handling the radio podcasts. Being aware, they do sit side by side at the black-hat conference. What that means, everybody may interpret his own way. And for sure the brits are a bit cheeky to listen on the cable. But these podcasts are really good. :-))
Using hidden services, I would just use two or three machines connecting to half a dozen IP addresses, certain CA-authority and so on.......I really don't care about that amount of so called secrets.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking either so what I'm about to write may not be relevant but a way to circumvent the blocking is to configure your browser to use a proxy in the target country(e.g. the UK) which will make the web server think you are local.

Search the web for "free proxy list" and pick a suitable proxy. Check that you can ping it and then configure your browser to use it.

Hope that helps. (I'm a UK resident)

Thanks, that is what I am doing, circumvent such a fence with a list of anonymous proxies or even anonymous DNS. but cleaning the account or browser of all traces always takes some time.
