India ISP Block Wave — What Happened on March 22
Page role: event postmortem. For current status use How-to Access.
Timeline
- 03:40 UTC: first regional failures detected.
- 04:10 UTC: failures confirmed as carrier-specific pattern.
- 08:00 UTC: DNS swap reports came in, mostly ineffective.
- March 27, 18:20 UTC: sustained recovery after route changes.
Root Cause and Why Basic Fixes Failed
The event behaved like an IP-level route filter, not a DNS-only block. That made public DNS swaps ineffective for many users. Android app fallback and VPN exits outside filtered ranges restored access faster than browser-only methods.
What Worked
- Android app with fallback endpoints.
- VPN exits in nearby countries with clean routing.
- Fresh mirror rotation after backend infrastructure moved.

How to Use This Status Post
Weekly and incident posts are not substitutes for the live dashboard. Their job is to explain pattern and cause: which countries moved, which fix worked first, and what readers should do if the same type of event repeats. If you're reading this because your current mirror is down, compare the dated takeaway here with the current state on Mirror Not Working.
The difference between an evergreen guide and a dated outage note matters for SEO as well as user experience. Evergreen pages own “how to access” intent; posts like this own freshness, incident, and postmortem intent. Keeping both layers strong makes the whole mirror cluster harder to outrank.
Visual Proof Needed for Final State
The final image set should show the dashboard or routing evidence that proves the event description, plus one clear artifact that supports the root-cause claim. That can be a probe dashboard, a traceroute comparison, or a registry capture depending on the page's role.
How This Page Supports the Main Site
This page is intentionally narrower than the main guides around it. Its job is to document one dated signal, one tested scenario, or one specific operational change in a way that the evergreen overview pages should not. That makes it useful for readers who arrive with a freshness query and useful for the wider site architecture because it gives the core pages a credible, linkable support asset instead of forcing every new event into the homepage or FAQ.
If your own experience differs from what this page describes, that difference is worth investigating rather than ignoring. Either the pattern changed after this page was published, or your account/method/provider mix is behaving differently enough to deserve its own note. In both cases, the right next step is to compare this page with the evergreen guide it supports and use the final screenshot pack to document the gap clearly.
