I’m curious about the blocking status of RT.com, the Russian state media organ.

Using my own connection, I can reach it without difficulty.

It’s sitting behind DDoS-Guard, a (now) Russian bulletproof hoster which was, ironically, a Ukrainian company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDoS-Guard

But many of the common “is it reachable” sites show it completely down:

Does anyone have any insight into what mechanisms are being used to block RT?
