Iran tightens grip on web access
- Iran: Monday, March 11 - 2013 at 06:40
The head of the Iranian parliament's information and communications technology committee has said the government has blocked the use of most "virtual private networks," which many Iranians use to get around an extensive government internet filter, Reuters has reported. "Within the last few days illegal VPN ports in the country have been blocked," said Ramezanali Sobhani-Fard. "Only legal and registered VPNs can from now on be used." The move, however, may also have inadvertently cut off access to widely used sites such as Yahoo and Google, Sobhani-Fard said, adding that parliament would study the issue more this week.
