Research Reports
We have not published a research report based on OONI data from this country yet. We encourage you to use OONI data for your research!

Check whether websites have been blocked.

Testing methodology: OONI's Web Connectivity test, designed to measure the DNS, HTTP, and TCP/IP blocking of websites.

Tested websites: Citizen Lab test lists

If you'd like to see results on the testing of different websites, please contribute to test lists or test the sites of your choice via the OONI Probe mobile app.

Please note that unless a block page is served, some anomalous measurements may contain false positives. We therefore encourage you to examine anomalous measurements in depth and over time.

Monitor Internet outages through public, third-party data sources.

The following graph shares data from Georgia Tech's Internet Outage Detection and Analysis (IODA) project, Google Transparency Reports (Google traffic data), and Cloudflare Radar.

If you notice a drop in all signals, that might serve as an indicator of an Internet outage.
