Bahrain internet

It appears that Bahrain have started blocking access to proxy related websites like the UAE. They've also introduced a splash page with contact numbers which is new!

411A: Congratulations!, That's the stupidst reply for the day :ok:

Sites blocked are political and proxy but 'porn' is still accessaible. Therefore, I don't think any of the lads would care as the blocked sites are all in Arabic :}

411A, virtually all adult related websites are freely accessible and are unblocked.

Doesn't it make sense asking first why a given website has been blocked?!!

May be the nature of the content is highly offensive...don't really know for sure, and I don't want to speculate that either, but there must have been good reasons I guess! :hmm:

Update: They've changed the information on the 'access denied' page. They've removed references to the Information Ministry and they've removed the phone numbers.

It now reads as follows:
