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.

@freemo Looks interesting but fundamentally owned and operated by somebody else. Honestly, I might do that write up because hosting your own isn't as scary as it sounds. I think I typed five install commands and edited a configuration file, that's all. But thanks for the link anyhow.

@hangableautobulb Well no its still hosted by you in the same sense.. it rusn on EC2 on your own account.. only difference they give you a script that automates bringing up and tearing down the server.

@freemo Serves me right for not reading the info in the link properly! I retract my comments... I'll look through it more carefully :)
