So, I’m thinking about some kind of solution to selfhost or implement that would allow us to receive things like RSS feeds or news from Telegram channels. To be clear, when they shut down international traffic, there is no way to connect using normal protocols such as HTTP, SMTP, etc.
Do you have any ideas about this?
We're helping people in Iran get set up with #Matrix.
So far we've supported several servers (directly and indirectly) so the community has infrastructure nobody can just switch off.
Right now we're preparing for the next internet shutdown. Offline plans and local comms aren't nice-to-haves they're literally survival tools.
We prepare before the blackout, not after.
With hope for #freedom in Iran.

During the complete internet blackout in Iran, one of the most important things we missed was a way to receive news. The blockage still continues, it’s a little easier now to access the international internet, but it is still whitelisted.

Iran’s internet backbone before and after the recent shutdown.
December 2, 2025 vs January 10, 2026.
A significant portion of routing paths and networks visible in early December are no longer present. #Iran #IranProtests #InternetShutdown #IranInternetStatus #keepitOn
Unfortunately, Uganda is currently under an internet lockdown due to the upcoming presidential elections on 15th January, which affects communication and access to information; does this also happen in your country during elections? Please share your experiences with us. 🤔🤔 #Elections #ElectionDay #InternetShutdown #DigitalRights

Wow, as reported elsewhere, traffic from Iran to www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com has dropped to virtually nothing as of yesterday.
Only 3 ASNs have made any requests at all today:
- iran information technology company pjsc
- netiface limited
- m247 europe srl (unsure if this is *really* in Iran or not)
We'd normally see about 200k requests/day from Iran and today we've had just over 600.

Following days of protests in #Iran, the regime has executed a full #InternetShutdown. At approximately 18:30 CET, Iran’s internet went dark. #KeepItOn #IranProtests #IranInternetStatus

"From protests to elections, governments are increasingly pulling the internet plug on entire populations. Connectivity is slowly becoming a tool of control, not a guarantee. "
