Quick answers

What is blocked-sites-in-south-korea?
A maintained dataset and analysis of websites blocked by South Korean internet service providers.
What does blocked-sites-in-south-korea do?
This project systematically tracks, compiles, and analyzes domains and IP addresses that are actively blocked or censored by internet service providers in South Korea. It utilizes automated testing scripts to continuously probe known blocklists and discover new restrictions, documenting the specific methods used for censorship, such as DNS tampering or SNI filtering. The repository provides machine-readable datasets of blocked sites alongside detailed technical reports on the evolving landscape of digital censorship in the region. By maintaining a transparent, open-source record, it enables researchers, activists, and developers to better understand and circumvent localized network restrictions. It serves as a crucial resource for monitoring digital rights and network neutrality.
Who is blocked-sites-in-south-korea for?
Targeted at digital rights activists, security researchers, journalists, and developers interested in analyzing network censorship, developing circumvention tools, or monitoring internet freedom in South Korea. Users are expected to have a basic understanding of the relevant underlying technologies.

Targeted at digital rights activists, security researchers, journalists, and developers interested in analyzing network censorship, developing circumvention tools, or monitoring internet freedom in South Korea. Users are expected to have a basic understanding of the relevant underlying technologies.

  • Automated network probing: Employs continuous testing scripts to verify and discover new censorship targets across South Korean ISPs.
  • Machine-readable datasets: Provides actively maintained, structured data files containing blocked domains and IP addresses for easy integration.
  • Censorship method analysis: Documents the specific technical mechanisms, such as SNI filtering and DNS hijacking, used to enforce blocks.
  • Historical tracking: Maintains an immutable, version-controlled history of when specific sites were added or removed from blocklists.
  • Transparency reporting: Offers detailed insights and statistics on the broader trends of internet censorship within the region.

Where teams use it

Digital rights research

Providing academic researchers and journalists with concrete data to analyze trends in government internet censorship over time.

Circumvention tool development

Allowing developers of VPNs and proxy services to test their tools against verified lists of actively blocked domains.

Network neutrality monitoring

Enabling advocacy groups to transparently monitor and report on the enforcement of internet restrictions by local service providers.

Automated blocklist integration

Integrating the machine-readable datasets directly into network analysis tools or custom routing configurations to bypass restrictions.

Getting started: Clone the repository to access the raw datasets in the /data directory.
