5 | Is Global Voices blocked in Iran? | Voabahana Ao Iran Ve Ny Global Voices ? |
6 | Well, yes. | Sady Eny NoTsia. |
7 | And no. Someone inside Iran recently told us that she couldn't repost a Global Voices article link on her organisation's website. | Olona avy ao anatin'i Iran no niteny taminay, tsy ela akory izay, fa tsy afaka namindra rohy avy aminà lahatsoratra iray tao amin'ny Global Voices izy ho an'ny tranokalan'ny fikambanany. |
8 | Her audience wouldn't be able to access the post, she said, because our site was blocked in the country. | Tsy afaka mahita ilay lahatsoratra ireo mpanaraka azy, hoy izy, satria voabahana ao amin'io firenena io ny tranonkalanay. |
9 | This was news to us. | Vaovao taminay izany. |
10 | The last time we had checked globalvoicesonline.org's status in Iran was October 2014. | Tamin'ny Oktobra 2014 no nijery farany ny satan'ny globalvoicesonline.org tao Iran izahay. |
11 | It was not blocked inside Iran. | Tsy voabahana izy tamin'izay. |
12 | We checked again this week, and indeed the redirect page came up. | Niverina nijery indray izahay tamin'ity herinandro ity, ary tena marina fa pejy fibahanana no miakatra avy any. |
13 | Strange turn of events, but after consultation with security researcher Frederic Jacobs, it turns out that you can outsmart these particular Iranian filters and access our site by adding “https://” to the beginning of the URL. | Hafahafa ny fandehan-javatra, saingy taorian'ny fifanatonana tamin'i Frederic Jacobs, mpikaroka momba ny fiarovana, dia hita fa azonao atao ny mandingana ireny fanivanana kely ireny ka miditra amin'ny tranonkalanay amin'ny fanampiana ny hoe “https://” ery alohan'ilay rohy. |
14 | Below you can see two screenshots of requests made on a proxy inside of Iran. | Eto ambany ianao afaka mahita dikasary roa tamin'ireo andrana natao taminà ‘proxy' tao Iran. |
15 | On the left is the re-direct page users inside Iran see when they request “globalvoicesonline.org”. | Eo ankavia ilay pejy fibahanana hitan'ireo mpampiasa aterineto ao Iran rehefa mangataka hiditra amin'ny “globalvoicesonline.org” ry zareo. |
16 | On the right is the page Iranian users see when they request “https://globalvoicesonline.org”. | Eo amin'ny havanana ny pejy hitan'ireo Iraniana mpampiasa aterineto rehefa mampiasa ny “https://globalvoicesonline.org” izy ireo. |
17 | Curious. | Mahazendana. |

21 | This is a useful illustration of the value of HTTPS in comparison to HTTP. | Ity dia mampiseho tsara ny lanjan'ny fampiasàna HTTPS raha ampitahaina amin'ny HTTP. |
22 | While for many Internet users, these are simply a set of letters at the beginning of every website URL, the distinction between the two is pretty big. | Raha resaka fametrahana zanatsoratra iray fotsiny ery ampiandohan'ny adirein'ny tranonkala tsirairay izany ho an'ny maro amin'ny mpampiasa aterineto, dia tena goavana kosa ny fahasamihafana eo amin'izy roa ireo. |
23 | When you visit a website using just HTTP, your activity is easily visible for anyone with a bit of tech savvy and access to your network - this would of course include government agencies. | Rehefa mitsidika tranonkala izay iray ianao ka HTTP fotsiny no ampiasaina, afaka mahita mora foana ny zavatra ataonao ny olona rehetra manana fahalalàna lalina momba ny teknolojia ary dia afaka miditra amin'izay asa ataonao - tafiditra ao anatiny, mazava ho azy, ireo masoivohom-panjakana. |
24 | But when you visit a website using HTTPS, your activity is more secure (that's what the S stands for). | Saingy rehefa mitsidika tranonkala amin'ny fampiasàna ny HTTPS ianao, azo antoka kokoa ny asanao (izay no dikan'ny S ho anao). |
25 | Your request to see a certain website travels through an encrypted channel - sort of like a tunnel - making it more difficult for outsiders to see what you're doing. | Ny fangatahanao hijery tranonkala itsy na iroa amin'ny alàlan'ny fantsona voaaro - karazana tonelina iray - amin'ny fanaovana izay hampanano-sarotra ho an'ireo ety ivelany ny hahita izay ataonao ao. |
26 | What our little experiment proves is that Iran is conducting HTTP host-based blocking of the Global Voices website, likely along with many others. | Ny tian'ilay andrana kely nataonay havoitra dia hoe mampiasa fomba fibahanana mitofotra amin'ny HTTP hibahanana ny tranonkalan'ny Global Voices i Iran, tahaka ireo firenena maro hafa ihany. |
27 | But the encrypted address located with the HTTPS request is not blocked. | Saingy ireo adiresy voaaro napetraka niaraka tamin'ny HTTPS kosa tsy voabahana. |
28 | Does this mean that you can do this on any website blocked inside Iran? | Midika ve izany fa azonao atao ho an'izay tranonkala rehetra voabahana ao Iran io? Tsia. |
29 | No. Take Facebook for instance. | Raiso ho ohatra ny Facebook. |
30 | Users trying to access Facebook in Iran are blocked both over HTTP and HTTPS. | Samy voabahana daholo any amin'ny HTTP sy HTTPS ireo mpisera aterineto a oIran manandrana miditra Facebook. |
31 | Jacobs explains that with Facebook, the government is taking more advanced blocking measures. | Hazavain'i Jacobs izany ho an'ny Facebook, naka fepetra lasa lavidavitra kokoa ny governemanta amin'ny resaka fibahanana. |
32 | “It's not just HTTP host-based filtering, but IP addresses of Facebook are unreachable from Iran,” he says. | “Tsy sivana mifototra fotsiny amin'ny HTTP, fa ireo adiresy IP an'ny Facebook no tsy azo idirana avy ao Iran,” hoy izy. |
33 | It's hard to predict how this might change in the future, but Jacobs surmises that it is likely tied to volume of users: | Sarotra ny haminavina hoe mandra-pahoviana io no hiova, saingy mihevitra ihany i Jacobs hoe mety mifamatotra amin'ny habetsahan'ireo mpampiasa io : |
34 | Iran has however been deploying more advanced rules to block OpenVPN, Tor and other circumvention software. | Na izany azadia nametraka fitsipika lasalavitra kokoa i Iran mba hibahanana ireo OpenVPN, ny Tor ary ireo rindrambaiko hafa fandinganana sivana. |
35 | It's a matter of economics, really. | Resaka ara-barotra io,tena marina. |
36 | They probably won't put more resources into blocking a specific website unless a lot of people start using circumvention techniques to access it. | Tsy handeha handany vola be amin'ny fibahanana tranonkala iray voafaritra manokana tahaka izany ry zareo raha tsy hoe betsaka ny olona manomboka mampiasa teknika fandinganana sivana mba hidirana aminy. |
37 | If anyone has the technology to see when this block occurred on the Iranian network, please comment here or contact us so we can correlate dates with possible content or events. | Rahamisy olona any manana teknolojia afaka mijery ny fotoana nitrangan'ity fibahanana ity tao amin'ny tambajotra Iraniana, iangaviana mba hametraka fanehoankevitra etoana na hifandray aminay mba hahafahanay mamaritra ny daty miaraka amin'izay votoaty na tranga mety ho antony. |
38 | For an in-depth technical explanation of the Global Voices' filtering case, we highly recommend reading Jacobs' blog post, “A sneak peak into Iran's blocking of Global Voices.” | Raha mila fanazavanaara-teknika bebe kokoa momba ny fanivanana nanjo ny Global Voices', dia amporisihanay ianao hamaky ny lahatsoratra ao amin'ny bilaogin'i Jacobs, “Andran-tsira amin'ny fibahanana ny GlobalVoices ataon'i Iran [Eng].” |
39 | There are many great circumvention tools that can help readers reach globalvoicesonline.org if they live in a country that blocks the website. | Feno fitaovana fandinganana sivana maro ao izay afaka hanampy ny mpamaky hahita ny globalvoicesonline.org raha toa ryzareo ka mipetraka any aminà firenena mibahana ilay tranonkala. |
40 | Jacobs suggests Tor with ScrambleSuit. | Sosokevitr'i Jacobs ny Tor miaraka amin'ny ScrambleSuit. |
41 | Special thanks to Frederic Jacobs for his technical investigations and writing on this topic. | Fisaorana manokana ho an'i Frederic Jacobs noho ny fanadihadiana ara-teknika nataony sy ny nanoratany ity lohahevitra ity. |
