Google Earth Blocked

It seems like Google Earth has been blocked in Dubai.

Paranoia......or what?

Any comments?

Not sure it is good to put the 'work arounds' on here. Never know who is reading the pages and it may end up blocked as well!

not a good idea to post vpns names on public forums but for the record HS is rubbish. Being free it is full of ads so while you are listening to some nice music, there goes an ad. Get yourself a paid vpn. Not expensive,reliable, faster and no ennoying pop up ads.

I support FJCruiser! I got a paid VPN, and my connection tunnels through US, and now I got all those banned sites available.

Google Earth works for me on VPN, nothing using the Eta Slappa line.
