Korea will completely block adult sites from February 11th, and it will become a topic that it will be easy to see | Gogo communication

[Briefly explained] ・From February 11, adult sites will be completely blocked ・Server, name, indication, and field will be blocked ・It will become a hot topic when it becomes easy to see The South Korean government has announced that it has blocked harmful websites since February 11th. It mainly targets adult sites, gambling sites, and other sites that infringe copyrights and harmful sites. However, there are also arguments that it 'takes away freedom of expression' and 'censorship'.

This time, "Server Name Indication Field Blocking Method (SNI)" has been adopted, and nearly 900 sites have already become unreadable. Japanese DMM is also targeted, and there is also a phenomenon that Korean users cannot play "Kantai Collection".

However, the total blocking this time is to block by looking at the server name where the unencrypted URL is sent and received.

However, it is said that this blocking method using SNI can be easily circumvented by setting the web browser. It is said that blocking is disabled by turning on "encrypt SNI".

Already turning on SNI encryption in some web browsers has reportedly circumvented government blockades.

SNI is supported from older versions such as Internet Explorer 7, FireFox, Chrome 6 or later, and Safari on iOS 4 or later.

The passion to watch adult sites circumvents even government blockades.
