Facebook not opening in Airtel?

Hey guys is facebook blocked by airtel its not opening
Its giving an dns error

no, it is working in Airtel, but I just heard news that some ISP in India blocked facebook because of politics, came here find a article or discussion about it

where are you from? may it is blocked in your region,

one thing I forgot what might be the reason it's working over here, I am not using airtel DNS, I am using google DNS

But its working in my cell(with airtel network)

yes, Airtel has blocked facebook, I switched to airtel DNS and it is not working..but good news is It is working with Google DNS, Just switch to google DNS and f*** airtel.. for censorship.

If you have turbo "on" in Opera then it will work with Airtel DNS too ...checked.

Please Tell How to do it..

lol that was my 1500th post, Any more ISP Known about this issue? Well if Airtel has done all other ISP must have already done or will follow

Hahah,I Tweeted them "You blocked facebook" How about we boycot yo

1. open the window where you enter your IP Address.
2. see last input boxes one below other with Label "prefered DNS server" and "alternate DNS server".

3. change prefered DNS server to 8.8.8.8
4. change alternate DNS server to 8.8.4.4

I am still not able to find some article on reliable site about it, Only thing I remembered is rumour which surface couple of months back regarding facebook shutdown on 15 March 2012...

Found it

+1, any censorship should not be tolerated "+" I would like to add be reasonable with your tariff or soon I will boycott you, soon I find better or at least reliable like them

I am going to blast at them

lol...yeah...looks like Facebook is blocked here by BSNL.

And they are dumb. when I type facebook.com it's not opening, but if I type Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More it opens

Well, that's cached URL of Pool Live Tour

But then if I try to view any picture or something the URL changes to facebook.com/something and alas...it's blocked.

What's going on man..!! Can't believe.

Lets all Do massive tweets....Lets flood twiter with tweets of india blocking facebook

'
Oh,i remember theres a trial on facebook and google today in india,So theres chances of google to......

BSNL isnt blocking not for me atleast. directly went on via facebook.com

Change DNS to 4.2.2.1 or Google DNS 8.8.8.8

In mobile I prefer surfing via Opera Mini. No blocks will work through that :wink:

Not needed. This thread is getting massive hits. I think its via Search Engine only.

Opera is a kind of proxy ?

yes so dumb by Bsnl, even if it is working with Google DNS then how are they going to block it.

even it is working in Mobile as serpent16 says

Airtel is a piece of s**t I tweeted them regarding this,There replying to every other persons other query's,But ignoring the Facebook query

Well, so you guys suggesting I should change my DNS to Google DNS.

Well, how about changing itself in Router..?? My router is set to PPPoE mode, I connect many devices simultaneously with LAN and WiFi.

Yes 5 Members and 109 Guests.

^^ Hope its reaches 1k

,Then all people should login to facebook,twitter say about this.Lets see what they can do

Well, it's opening on Android via Facebook application but not via browser in Android.

Tata Telecom Has also Blocked facebook

^^they forgot to block all those stuff

Then im sure they lost :shock:

Facebook, Google to Stand Trial in India - WSJ.com

SHOCK!

I cant open Facebook even via Google DNS!!!

If I try opening via Link of Krishnandu than after I enter password and ID, I get no server found :lol:

This is a great time to login there. Atleast there wont be any nonsense posted.

Looks like time has arrived for me to get Opera Browser

^Is opera a kind of proxy?(Noobish question

)

S

I also cannot open Facebook on Airtel ..

Changing to Google DNS seems to work fine for me.

But now I'm looking for way out for how to set that Google DNS in router itself as I use PPPoE mode.

Otherwise I won't be able to access it in other devices.

@serpent16, when you turn turbo ON, it is kinda as it roots traffic to its server and then compress it then delivers to your browser for low bandwidth users.

@thetechfreak , google DNS is working

Ok airtel tweeted me.They said its a temporary problem(But i dont belive them

)

Any where they specified why the block has been implemented ?

BTW working with HMA VPN

what can be blocked on VPN :lol:

airtel says temporary hmm.., Has congress called half day bandh in just my city or even on other parts of country too

^^ Why do old people run the govt

? I think Vinay Rai will be assaulted

@clmlbx how to turn on turbo

Any of you using PPPoE mode like me..??

If yes, any idea how to set Custom DNS (i.e. Google DNS) on router itself..??

serpent16 said:
^Is opera a kind of proxy?(Noobish question )

no. When you turn on turbo all pages come via opera servers. So nothing is blocked.

It's still too early , many didn't even notice it. Maybe the block should have been there for a few more hours

Ok guys, I think that was not blocked by Indian ISP's.

Looks like it has something to do with Facebook Server's itself.

Check *twitter.com/#!/search/#Facebook

^ if that is true, wow! lol we wasted time on un-necessary topic .

Made a Issue out of nothing.. :lol:

even it sold like a hot cakes still 191 guest

^^lol..!! Anyway, it's down again. Moving to Google DNS again

well not just for facebook, but I feel google DNS is better then airtel DNS, Saw little improvement in speed, at my side at least, been months since I changed to Google DNS

but still difficult to believe as it was working on Google DNS

Nice. But I'm experiencing slow down on Google DNS. BSNL DNS was better

Another hilarious news : Facebook draws flak over blocking users with Chutia surname - Internet | ThinkDigit News

B

now its ok.. i can login using BSNL Broadband in firefox..

Yes, finally it's fixed. Confirmed from *twitter.com/#!/search/#Facebook

Working on Idea though. Don't know for how long.

P

lol

In fact I first got news of this blackout on facebook from user named "Aap Chutiye Hain", his posts are hilarious. mostly post jokes and humour

^^lol..!!

Though I am not on facebook but after reading this post I checked it. For me facebook is opening with BSNL and Google and Open DNS all. Well I don't know one can login or not as I don't have an id on there.
But if it is not working for you guys then I suggest you use TOR and now is a great time to support EFF.

@ManiDhillon Well it's not about using some proxy or tor. We know about Tor and other Proxy's. So if it was blocked there is numerous ways to access it.

We were just discussing what's going on...

Thats why I said to support the efforts of EFF buddy. I know there are numerous way to access sites. But until you prove that their block is not going to work then how do you think that you will protest??

Hmm

Last night i saw DNS error on facebook but ignored it and wen play DOTA. Is it still not working? i cant check.

I can open Facebook in my office (Internet - Airtel ) now though.

Everything is fine now.
