So apparenntly at least one major ISP here in Israel blocks mas.to with a global firewall .. I wonder why that happened.

@freemo The argument for a private VPN for all grows. I have one in S America courtesy of an EC2 on AWS. Costs about £10/month to run, completely mine, OpenVPN configuration that means it's one click to connect from my laptop. Useful for scihub and torrents since the UK gov have seen fit to mandate all ISPs block certain sites. Took about a hour to sort out, I'll write up the process one of these days.
