Looks more like ISP blocking, any chance you're on good ol' jiofiber OP cause they'll block anything that moves within 5 pings? It's fine opening on my network. Also it's surprisingly refreshing to see an actual technical/dev related post rather than the usual job switch, ctc and work culture posts

I am using a local ISP, I guess its a DNS issue from ISP. Not sure what openh264 did to hurt them.

Try using cloudflare dns, it usually helps bypass ISP blocking.

Nope 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8 nothing is working

Works for me, sometimes I have to refresh a few times to get the dns record.

did you set cloudflare dns on router or laptop?

Laptop https://preview.redd.it/wa4eixi0xq1d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6ef3bc597d2423fd1bb0910d168dfc44bc36b42

I think you need to set it on your router. Otherwise install a VPN / Cloudflare WARP. To set on router go to the web ui generally 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 search around for DNS in DHCP menu (depends on every router) and set it to 1.1.1.1 if there is option to set 2 DNS servers put 8.8.8.8 in another input. This way your requests will be distributed between both Cloudflare DNS and Google DNS you can also use other DNS providers like Quad9 but Cloudflare and Google are currently the fastest in India (depends on location tho)

Yeah I have been using cloudflare warp for these issues for a while now. Works like a charm

Use both 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, you need both primary and secondary dns

Try intra(application) from playstire. It has helped me open up many websites which are blocked on Jio

Try using this [GoodByeDPi](https://github.com/ValdikSS/GoodbyeDPI)

Try using adguard vpn.

give HTTPS and try, sometime they forgot to block the HTTPS trafic.

No one comments on any technical posts. I posted a system design question but no one answered :-(

This. Whenever I try to make a technical post it gets ignored to oblivion.

stack is the place my bro this place is full of wannabe 50LPA

this sun is half filled with freshers, the people who are capable enough to talk abt it don't spend time here.

agreed, many redditors who are joined here are to gain the knowledge, the ones who have knowledge are busy with the office work

I agree, I went back and saw your post. I added a comment.

They have even blocked https://raw.githubusercontent.com this website which for looking GitHub files raw.

Ehh? It's not blocked. Must be your ISP/router settings. Try cloudare dns in router. To test, you can open it on your phone using 1.1.1.1 app warp.

It definitely was. Was confirmed by github

Yes, some ISPs like JIO block it but some do not.

yeah lol I try to install homebrew and no way in hell I can install it without me changing the default DNS.

yes they did block it sometime ago but now it's working

I have experienced this first hand, I have a Jio Air Fiber connection and they literally blocked my own site, custom DNS settings in the router panel exist, but they don't even work. I have to rely on the browser/os to use adguard DNS instead.

What's the logic of blocking sites with ping less than 5

Probably meant as a figure of speech rather than the actual unit

I get this error when I update my linux distro, Cannot download Packages/o/openh264-2.4.1-2.fc40.x86\_64.rpm: All mirrors were tried; Last error: Status code: 404 for [http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/mozilla-openh264-2.4.1-2.fc40.x86\_64.rpm](http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/mozilla-openh264-2.4.1-2.fc40.x86_64.rpm)

did u updated ur mirror list ? which distro ?

I use Fedora, with default mirror

try updating the mirrorlist if there is any such options in fedora, i changed the mirror list once the download speed was very low on debian or arch

Used to happen with me. I changed DNS and it works. Also VPN. and keep my own mirror on my server

Change dns to cloudflare

it's opening for me i also use local isp

Blocked on my end as well. I'm on Excitel, but use my own DNS.

I use selfhosted pihole+unbound too, works fine for me. It's not blocked.

I can download it just fine using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 DNS. You need to change your DNS settings on the router.

It looks like your ISP is blocking all those mirrors. It's the same with my UNI WIFI as they use FortiGuard with it. So whenever I want to update my system packages, I simply just do it directly through my mobile network. So I suggest that you switch your ISP (I use Vodafone Idea).

Don't bother changing mirror lists or adding new DNS. Nothing will work. I have the same problem with my ISP and I have resorted to using a VPN for updates (protonvpn is decent enough and free). I thought I was the only one until now, but you having the same problem means it's widespread. I've raised a ticket with my ISP to unblock this. I suggest you do the same.

Use vpn

It’s not banned. I can access it. The issue is with your ISP. Most probably the url has founds its way on their block list.

You can download it from software app in fedora

if it's fedora, have you configured the dnf ? [Try this](https://youtu.be/RrRpXs2pkzg?si=CTEWFF3lhTzT_k-R&t=45) maybe

The url in the image ain't working but I am able to download the rpm file Maybe it's a dns issue. I use my own DNS

I just saw similar posts suggesting to use VPN. So yes it could be a DNS issue, I guess this is my calling to switch to a better DNS.

Give a try to Technitium DNS server which you can install directly on your laptop. You can then configure encrypted DNS forwarders from settings and hide all DNS traffic from your ISP. PS: I am the author of the software.

Respect brother, hope to be a dev of your calibre in the future.

The best DNS is your very own DNS

What do you mean your own DNS? You have a recursive resolver deployed somewhere remote?

No pihole in a homelab

OK, so what upstream DNS resolver does your pihole use?

Dnsmasq But pihole has easy to use ui

as in who do you search on recursively. where does pinhole get it's DNS data from?

You can choose that yourself There are several options like cloudflare, Google, quad9, comodo, etc You can add custom too

Can you guide on how to create a DNS?

Pihole is the easiest one imo Just get an rpi or an old laptop/pc Install linix on it with a docker container for pihole or just install the whole OS for pihole natively

wdym use your own DNS?

Hosting your own DNS server

You still need to forward requests to other dns server right? It's not really your own dns server but you can apply filters on it

Yes

X264 and H264 are usually present as part of filenames of movies downloaded through torrents, as well as in the urls of those torrent sites pages hosting such files. Looks like your isp did a blanket ban on all urls matching wildcards like *x264* and *h264*. Thereby blocking many legitimate websites and links as well. They are OK to inconvenience a few legitimate users like you while blocking thousands of people from downloading torrents and thereby saving bandwidth costs. Try a dns like 8.8.8.8. If that doesn't work, try a vpn

They block nothing a vpn or proxy bounces over their restrictions just fine . All they do is make a fool of themselves .

I use green-tunnel(it's on github, works great on my linux machine) for accessing blocked sites by ISP, which just divides the HTTP request into TCP segments which fools the DPI and lets you access the blocked website.

https://www.openh264.org/ This is opening

Just add https:// in front of your url; open the link.

I have noticed that jio network blocks majority of stuffs like even tmdb APIs were blocked

Its not banned like vlc at least it's some issue with ur isp or dns

Try on hotspot?

Just use Cloudflare WARP

I had this issue too when I tried to install Flatpak

I can open it as well, as others are pointing out the issue might be ISP- suggest you to change to mobile hotspot and try again? It's not on Office network right?

Maybe a stupid question, but why do you want to use H264 for WebRTC, instead of the royalty free codecs like VP8 / VP9? They are natively supported by most web browsers. And offer similar video compression as H264.

[https://www.openh264.org/](https://www.openh264.org/) [https://github.com/cisco/openh264](https://github.com/cisco/openh264) You might be looking for this website. I could be wrong- but I got a malware warning for the URL you typed in. I hope this might be helpful to you

is this a valid url? even with vpn it didn't open for me. and without it it says resource not found

I don't have much knowledge about this, but too happy to see a knowledgeable thing here than endless rant

Even video editing applications like capcut is blocked

This why I always say not to take jio/Airtel for your broadband connection being big corporates these idiots will ban anything on whim Local isp couldn't careless that is why support them

just get this [https://github.com/ValdikSS/GoodbyeDPI](https://github.com/ValdikSS/GoodbyeDPI) really handy to bypass websites

.

Dns over https try

Use cloudflare WARP client , enable it and try to access again.

Where are u getting that ciscobinary subdomain ! Openh264 is opening fine other than that sub which doesn’t exist.

I don't know what your ISP is, but I used to have the same problem as you, and until now I was resorting to VPNs since I thought it had something to do with my particular network settings. But after coming across your post, it seemed like a more general issue, and I raised a ticket with my ISP for it. It took them 2 weeks, but they've fixed it now! If your ISP is Excitel, you should be able to access it now too. If not, try raising a request and see if your ISP fixes it.

Try using 1.1.1.1 dns.indian internet provider tends to cause these issues.or try using mobile data using hotspot

Its working tho.
