So today, i was looking at skeleton.dev, and suddenly i saw that nothing was loading. This became a shock to me. I was working on my internal project at that time.
"Fear not I said to myself", thinking it was some misconfigured DNS service. I run my personal Adgurad DNS server on my core 2 duo machine. I thought maybe the system deadlocked, which happens quite frequently due to my ZFS drives. But the issue persisted even after rebooting my server. At which point i became convinced that it was not an issue from my side.
I started doing the next big thing in my head, tracerouting the outgoing request, and low and behold the results speak for themselves.

Trace complete.Notice anything weird? All the request stops at summit communications, for those unaware summit is the leading censorship platform in this shithole
Same for dbpro.app, another awesome tool i found while browsing reddit.

Now, things like this can happen. I did the next best thing and called my ISP, AmberIT and told them the situation. They hopped into AnyDesk and saw the issue.
What i was shocked to see that, the operators almost did not want to complain to summit. I told them i tracerouted it, i told them that it was summit who is having an issue, and then those guys just ghosted me? Like what the actual fuck? Are the people that afraid?
Listen, it's not possible to silence the people by censoring the internet. This could have been summit's fault. But the timing seemed too good to be true. I live in my Prime Minister's home town. People are not happy here that he's running the show. Perhaps it was some way to silence someone somewhere? Whatever the case might be, i expected some explaination.
Whatever might be, i plan to create a better Bangladesh, our people should realize that the enemy is not within the country, it surrounds us.
