mmmmm if a post is deleted, shouldn't I receive some sort of a message about that and explaining why?
wassaaap mod?

regarding the blockage of some porn websites, on friday night xnxx was blocked, with a message stating that it is blocked after a request from a court order or something. Yet xvideos was working flawlessly.
yesterday after seeing your post and also today both websites are working 100%
I'm with Wise.

@m_zeid, so that means that so far, it's just Ogero. Like I said before, they both work fine on my phone's LTE. Wish you had saved that message though. Things are getting interesting.

Maybe that's the big plan of making the internet faster. Blocking porn means much less streaming. Of course not everyone knows knows how to use a VPN, proxy, tunneling... YET

Do Ogero http requests go through some proxy? if so, they could be using it to hardcode DNS requests.

why the hell would they block those 2 sites and not block sites such as: (these sites might be disturbing for some) theync.com, humoron.com, bestgore.com, efukt.com, xhamster.com, pornhub.com...

I don't get it either why block only these 2 sites when there are plenty more.

Thanks for the info michael.
Now I have a better idea of what is happening. But I'm out of ideas for solving the problem.

Last time I Checked they were the top 2 porn sites visited from Lebanon according to Alexa. Yea I know it's not very accurate but still.. Maybe that's the reason
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en, you can thank me after watching your porn.

Have you tried anonymouse browsing? I know it's not that helpful but still a temporary solution.

@Rolf,
Thank you for trying to help.
@Hybrid,
It is much simple to use hola unblocker on Chrome. I use it most of the time to access Pandora. But I tried with xnxx and xvideos, it works just fine.
@Johnaudi,
Anonymous browsing doesn't work :)

I think they are filtering according to the host domain in the HTTP request. The IPs are accessible, so is google's DNS server, but neither of these workarounds solve the problem.
That is of course assuming that the filtering is happening in Lebanon. As I said it is possible that it is the website itself that would block traffic. Why they would do that, who knows.

these sites are blocked since 2-3 weeks...

Well guys, try using the Hola extension in Chrome (I think you can also get it on Firefox). It's a website specific VPN. You can enable it and disable it on the same web page.
I think it's a simpler alternative than installing a new browser. You can also get it on Android and iOS. I find it very helpful.
Tell me what you think.

The problem is not in accessing the Pron, the problem is with the ISP's blocking it.
Remember when they also blocked the online gambling websites, what if these are just the beginning & soon other things will be blocked?
This is internet censorship and it needs to be fought.
Try opening bing.com and search for pr0n it says this shit:
"Your country or region requires a strict Bing SafeSearch setting, which filters out results that might return adult content. To learn more about SafeSearch requirements in your country or region, see How Bing delivers search results"
This is not related to Ogero this is on all ISP's. Get your pitchforks

There's a memo from Ogero to block 6 sites published in 25 August. Search for it on Facebook

I just read the communiqué (thank you for it btw). So it's official, the Lebanese government is blocking those websites. However, it does not explain why they would want to block the websites. Can they just do that? Without any clarification?
I mean it began with the online poker websites, and now this.
This is bad news.
