Internet censorship in Tunisia

Internet censorship in Tunisia

Internet censorship in Tunisia is very strong.

Technically, it is a transparent proxy that processes every HTTP request sent out and filters out sites based on hostnames. Empirical evidence shows that NetApp hardware was used to implement the controls (and NetCache).

From the 23rd to the 27th of November , Wikipedia and all Wikimedia Foundation servers were not accessible from Tunisia. It is not known whether it was censorship or a technical problem.
