Telus blocked LL/Perb/Seeking?

[hard2say]

All of a sudden this morning, I am unable to connect to leolist/seeking/perb through my home wifi. Everything still works on mobile data though.

Did telus block these websites all of a sudden? Can any other telus users confirm or deny?

Or am I being monitored 🤔

You're being monitored.

I believe Telus might’ve been having some intermittent issues with home internet yesterday morning, based off a posting in Telus Reddit

Everyone should be using VPNs to access these kind of websites to avoid getting tracked by their ISPs. But let's say you don't want to spend money on that, the very basic thing you can do for free is use DNS servers like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 instead of the default ones provided by Telus/Shaw.

When a warrant is issues an ISP logs will show VPN activity then the VPN company will be issued a warrant. So to think that you are protected from law enforcement (or a good hacker) by paying for a vpn, is a pipe dream.
Best thing is to find ways to access VPN on general machines or servers across the internet using varying protocols and tunnel through several VPN servers through each VPN server. Dns should be made through private dns servers and not public or isp.

It matters where the VPN company is based out off and what kind of logs the VPN company maintains. Most of good VPN companies won't keep any logs or would keep very minimum logs and they would not operate out of US (or other 5eyes/western countries) so a search warrant won't apply to them.

So you think...

Well I can only go off the information that is available to me. There are some 3rd party audits done for various top VPN providers.
