Iranians try to see through fog of war amid internet blackout

They Would Not Dream of Flowers: Translating Through the Tehran Blackout - Public Books

As the entire country was plunged into a digital blackout, the only light remaining in my room was the cold, clinical glow of my disconnected laptop. There, in that forced isolation, I sat translating a story about death.

Is this where we’re headed too? Speculation that recent outages in Russia were tests for unplugging from internet & global community (similar to what’s already happening in Iran, also China). Population response: “Local media reported that retailers recorded a quick surge in demand for pagers, portable radios, stationary phones, media players and road maps, as the shutdowns gripped the capital.”
…
“Mohiuddin Ahmed, associate professor in cybersecurity at Adelaide University … said internet blackouts could become a "successful" strategy for governments to control domestic political unrest.
"Internet blackouts are put in place so that everyday people can't know what's going on in the rest of the world." “

I'm trying to think how I would block simplex and the first thing that came to mind was looking up all known simplex servers and adding them to a block list, can't the exact same thing be done to chatmail servers?

I'm aware tor entry nodes can be added to a block list. I wish more projects would consider I2P, I wish it was more known in general it should fix the issue of blocking entry nodes/servers because everyone is a node, add traffic obfuscation on top of that and it should have been safe from the Iran internet blackout
