The site is still completely inaccessible for me, all I get is error 403 and I've tried tunneling through various countries.
Never seen a DDoS attack being sustained for so many days, I suspect something else is going on. Some of their regional offices seem to have shut down in the wake of the Ukraine invasion but there have been no news reports of censorship of the website itself, or that it's offline.
Can anyone still access it? Do you guys know what their IP is? Been wondering if the DNS resolving has been messed with.
Serious attempts have been made in Western nations to silence RT, following Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine. The EU Commission has given regulators in the bloc’s nations powers to ban the media outlet. If you’ve faced difficulties accessing RT’s content due to those restrictions, here are some steps you can take to bypass them.
1. If you’re reading RT on your smartphone, you can use our Android app, which can be downloaded via this link.
2. On your PC, you can use the Tor browser, which can be downloaded here. RT’s website address in Tor remains the same: www.rt.com. If Tor doesn’t work for you, or is unavailable via regular means, you can resolve this issue by sending an empty email to gettor@torproject.com and you will be sent the necessary link.
3. Another way of circumventing restrictions is to use the Psiphon censorship-bypass tool, which can be downloaded for Windows, Android, and other systems. (Windows download here, direct Android download here, and other options here). Alternatively, you can use a VPN service of your choice.
4. You can also stay in touch with RT through Telegram by subscribing to RT’s soon-to-be-reborn channel there.
