Fars claimed: The internet of the whole country will be connected within the next 24 hours

Fars News Agency claimed in a news that the Internet of the entire country will be fully connected in the next 24 hours, but the filtering is still in place.

Technical reports indicate that geo-prioritized reconnection operations, which began earlier in the day, are progressing, promising an end to one of the longest periods of network restrictions in recent years. Apparently, the decision makers have concluded that the current infrastructure is ready to accept international traffic.

Removing restrictions from the center to the south

Fars has written in this news that the residents of Isfahan and Fars provinces were the first group who tasted the taste of reconnecting to the global village from Thursday evening. This process, which is being implemented in a district-by-district manner, is supposed to spread to other parts of the country.

The announced schedule indicates that if there is no unexpected technical disruption in the Internet gateways, international Internet coverage will be completed in all 31 provinces of the country by the end of Friday. This staggered strategy is probably adopted to manage the traffic load and avoid sudden network saturation.

The old red line still stands

A very important point that users should follow during the process Reopening the Internet Keep in mind, there is a difference between “network connection” and “fixing filtering”. Informed sources have confirmed that the current openings are limited to access to international websites, search engines and application services.

Unfortunately, popular platforms and social networks that were filtered before the recent unrest or in previous years (such as Instagram, Telegram, and YouTube) are still blacklisted and their blocking status has not changed. Therefore, the return of the Internet means a return to the “situation before December 18”, not free and unfiltered access.
