PPRUNE blocked in the UAE
Dear posters ,
For a few weeks now , I am unable to access PPRUNE from my home in the UAE.
The access to the website is blocked by the UAE.
The only way for me to get access to it is to be on a layover outside of the UAE.
Am I the only one to face that problem ?

It took a few days for everyone to get blocked. Maybe it will take some time before all services and providers have unblocked it? still working good on the 15th.
Hopefully we see some more discussions from now. It's been a bit quiet since the blockade.

You might need to get out a bit more black pud. Oh wait. You can't.

Free to travel wherever I want, whenever I want, and when I say want, Dubai and the other blockading places is not a places I want to visit.

Still restricted. What are they hoping to accomplish by blocking my access?
I'll just read and post on layovers like I'm doing now and warn anyone and everyone not to come to Dubai. This is the treatment a new joiner can expect.

Or you can use a VPN, or Tor browser, or several other available ways to work around it. Tor is probably the easiest for non-tech inclined types.15 minutes of googling should have you on your way.

At the very most, it has proved to be nothing more than a minor inconvenience for those who can only access this website whilst out of the country but for many with the means to access this website in the UAE, nothing has really changed.
Discussion about EK continues unabated despite the draconian attempts by management to silence us, which have proved to be so ineffectual, it has resulted in those behind this initiative, now looking rather witless.

The Du response was a kind of s shrug and a statement that they follow TRA guidance.
I never established whether the routing of all traffic back via the home operator is normal carrier behaviour though. They certainly need to route the data usage back to Du but I'd contend there is no reason to route the actual traffic - but they certainly do.

Can you imagine any of this nonsense happening in the western world or any other major airline?
