Italy’s Piracy Shield IPTV blocking system is back in the news today after yet another completely avoidable blocking blunder. On Monday night, yet another CDN IP address was added to the blocklist rendering innocent sites unavailable. Italian tech news site DDaY, a long-standing critic of Piracy Shield’s indiscriminate blocking, was among those affected.
This is kind of funny because I know the pain of accidentally blocking a CDN I still need access to when it comes to my Pi-Holes.
Even more frustrating when the thing you’re trying to block is hosted by said CDN, so you can’t actually block it without also blocking the thing you need access to.
Whoopsie doodles who would have thought this stuff was hard!
