People,
Stop ranting and download Cloudflare Warp which acts like a VPN, and unblocks everything.
https://1.1.1.1/beta/
That paticular link is for desktop and it's free.
Max pings 100ms from Pakistan.
CF Warp seems to have made extensive upgrades to their core systems. It is now giving the SAME speeds as using the internet without the VPN. So, if you have a 50MB connection, expect to receive the EXACT speed as you were getting, when you weren't using a VPN.

Works fine on PTCL broadband and Optix is a reseller of PTCL (it uses their infrastructure to sell stuff).

The firewall (like the great firewall of China) just stands between the user and the internet. The state (just like in China) wants to know exactly what their citizens are up to. Keep tabs on everything.
Except Dawn, no one is talking about it. Even the digital rights organizations have been...
Just got a phone call off someone who knows someone high up in PTA. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) have installed a firewall that checks URLs before they are served. This causes frequent breakages in the system for people who are using CF and Google DNS, as it tries to circumvent...
Internet is broken for PTCL since the last two weeks. Hope people have complained about this. I have but we need more people to do that so that PTCL data center staff can get off their lazy behinds and fix it.
Problems with breaking of the internet in Karachi since the past 7 to 8 days.
Rumors are that there is a new Chinese firewall that has been put in place within the PTCL data centers, which is breaking websites "randomly."
