blockages

This is how companies live the Laliga IPS blockages

by

In early March Fernando Arancón, director of The world orderHe noticed that his website ceased to be inaccessible. “At first the web fell and we didn’t know why,” he tells us. They soon knew the reason. The culprit was LaLigawho was ordering Mass and indiscriminate blockages of IPS of Cloudflare. They, like many other businesses based on online sites and platforms, use Cloudflare services to distribute their contents efficiently but also to protect themselves from bots attacks. Reputational damage matters, and much That, however, began to condemn them: “Every time there was an important game, the web fell”Although he points out that he did not do it for all users, logically because there were operators who did not apply those blockages so drastically. From that moment on, Arancón explains that “there are weeks in which we have four days the fallen website in the most traffic hours.” They especially notice it on weekends, but also when there are Champions. Fortunately for them the impact is somewhat less than that it might think because “we do not have many advertising income, we rely on the subscription model”, but still that impact exists. “We cannot quantify the impact,” he explained to us, because there is no easy way to do it and measure how many subscriptions have not been completed because they do not have the website available, but It is evident that the impact exists and “it is embedded in the windows in which these great matches are broadcast.” But what they received, especially at the beginning, were complaints. Their subscribers contacted them to launch messages of the type “go service, I pay for this?”, What of course worried those responsible for this medium. “At first we had to do an important exercise to explain to the audience what was happening.” That effort had its result, because “people have ended up understanding.” 30% less traffic The problem affects many more legitimate businesses. He told us about it Uxío Fraga (@Uxio_ntc), founder and CEO of Bitcoin materiala company that has created a bitcoin purse. As in the case of Arancón, Fraga explained that they began to notice the cuts from the beginning, in March: “It was very clear that something happened.” Initially they thought it was a passenger problem. “We thought it would be solved, that Cloudflare would take action,” but little by little they realized that the problem was not cloudflare, but rather of LaLiga and the operators, which not only did not maintain the IPS blocks, but that they were increasing them. For Bitcoin material, which lives from the sales of its Bitcoin wallets, the impact has been enormous. “In weekends, traffic falls 30%”stood out, and that logically affects access to a store on which they depend and in which they cannot sell their products if the web is not accessible. As in other types of business, the problem for Fraga is that there are no easy ways to solve the problem. Cloudflare has become a giant that is especially useful when avoiding attacks on service denial (DDOS) and other types of attacks made with bots. They are considering trying to Google CDN, but doing so is a technical challenge and they don’t know if that can be the solution. Meanwhile, yes, Fraga showed his concern about the situation: “That a judge has given white letter to this is an aberration“Fortunately, your user and customer community is very faithful and have not received complaints although the issue is commented, but once again the impact is there and there is little that those affected, whether companies or not, can do. They tell thunder. This well -known company develops products oriented to the NAS segment, but these days it is also noticing the impact of the problem. There are several users who have complained about the impossibility of using the products properly, and the firm itself ended up denouncing the problem and trying to explain to users what was happening. There are many users trying to inform the general public with Complaints and comments at X When these blockages are produced. In LaLiga not only do they seem to have reinforced their attacks, but they are legally threatening Cloudflare customers that share IPS with IPTV service websites that are used to watch football illegitimately. The operators, meanwhile, continue to respond to customer complaints explaining that the blockages do not depend on them, and that they are obliged to meet the requirements of justice. A justice that already He dismissed the Amparo resources presented by rootedcon and cloudflare separately and still does not raise solutions. The legal process, now in the hands of the consitional courtit can be extended remarkably. The solution to the problem for those affected is too risky: if they deactivate cloudflare on their platforms They are exposed to cyber attacks They can end up being even more harmful to their businesses, so they are usually with their hands tied. For users, yes, The solution is very simple: It is enough to use a VPN – even one free – to geolocate its IP simulated in another country and thus skip these blockages, which only affect Spanish IPS shared in Cloudflare.

On Sunday, Barça-Madrid is played and there will be Laliga IPS blockages. Users have an easy solution, companies do not

by

Next Sunday, at 4:15 p.m., Barcelona-Real Madrid will be played of the Spanish First Division of Spanish. Taking into account what we have lived in the last three months, It seems inevitable Let us live new indiscriminate blockages of IPS by LaLiga. This website is not accessible. Once again what seems clear is that They will pay fair for sinners With constant websites that we cannot access. The persecution of IPTV illegal retransmissions is making Companies entering 70,000 euros per month are 40,000. There is clear economic and reputational damage, but there is a clear dichotomy here: for users it is easy to avoid those blockages, but for those who have a website, not so much. Hello, VPN. Since IPS blockades began by LaLiga It was clear that the only effective solution to avoid them on the user’s side was to use A VPN service. Here The options are multiple and in all cases they usually allow to continue enjoying normal access to all services despite the blockages imposed by LaLiga. It is not a 100% infallible method, but it is certainly the safest to avoid these problems. Why this method works. These services allow the IP address provided by the operator to change to a different one that will also belong to the country you choose. If LaLiga does not apply blockages to those countries from which the connection or IP of that VPN server is simulated, it is not in the Spanish ISP lock list, we can normally access the content. And packages encryption. In addition, the VPN encrypt the connection between our device and the VPN server, which makes it greatly difficult for operators or other intermediaries to inspect the traffic content to try to make a selective blockade of certain transmissions. Companies have it much more complicated. VPN services are perfect for users to “jump” LaLiga IPS blockages, but companies affected by blockages do not have it so easy. The reason is that these companies do not depend on themselves, but often have hired Cloudflare services. This company optimizes access to companies’s websites and protects them from possible cyber attacks, but when LaLiga orders to block certain IPS, the operators execute that order and many of them belong to Cloudflare. And there is the problem. The condemnation of shared IPS. Cloudflare, like its competitors, make use of shared IPS To manage all its customers. The same IP is assigned to hundreds or thousands of domains, and then it is cloudflare who is responsible for redirect access to each of them. But if LaLiga and the operators They block an IPThey block access to all domains that share that IP, whether it is legitimate and if it is not. Those who are using Cloudflare and other CDNs affected such as Bunnycdn are therefore impacted: users find that access to those domains is suddenly cut. The remedy is worse than the disease. The only solution for companies is to deactivate the service provided by Cloudflare. That means that they are not affected by blockages, but implies important risks. Cloudflare, for example, avoid (or mitigate significantly) possible service denial attacks that “throw” websites. It also prevents bots from tracking the web can end up unpaid in charging times or in the consumption of server resources. Without the Cloudflare and the like service, the exhibition of the websites of any company in the face of attacks or overloads is remarkable. The remedy can become worse than the disease. New LaLiga Tactics. Those responsible for LaLiga have reinforced their offensive with a curious tactic: Reach agreements with Cloudflare competitors like Vercel, Akamai or CDN77. In LaLiga they promise that these services – which collaborate in the fight against broadcasts – will not affect third parties during blockages, but with that type of alliance there is a great sacrificed: the privacy of customers, which can no longer be shield in those services.

The collateral effects of LaLiga blockages in thousands of users

by

Soccer Week, Blocking Week. With the support of a judicial sentenceLaLiga has power to ask the operators to Block certain IP addresses. The problem of killing flies to guns is that these blockages do not affect only the domains related to the retransmissions that LaLiga considers illegal: companies and individuals that have little or nothing to do with football are being affected. Visiting a website is not available is a draft problem, even more so if the address you need to access is necessary to work. Movistar and O2 They are at the head of criticism, but even “small” operators like Digi They have been intensifying the blockages for months. From Xataka spoken with affected and compiled several of the testimonies that flood both social networks and forums. The problem is common and easy to replicate: football day, problem day. Why indiscriminate blockages At first glance, it clashes that the order of an operator to block a unique IP address, supposedly to issue illegal content, can leave dozens of websites inaccessible that they have no relation to her. Although it seems illogical, this effect is a direct consequence of how an important part of the Internet infrastructure works. A habitual (and economic) practice in web accommodation is shared hosting, where multiple sites operate from a single server and share a single IP address. This configuration causes an unwanted collateral effect: as the blockade applies to the complete direction, it cannot differentiate individual sites. Thus, if a website with supposedly illegal football streaming shares the IP with the website you use to work, both will be blocked if the operator is given the order. It is the reason why a fall or blockade in a CDN (Content delivery network) as Cloudflare either Vercel It ends up causing dozens of websites to cease to be accessible. If the service provider blocks an address, those that share it fall as dominoes. How it is affecting users There are several more than known websites to which users They are not being able to access certain websites during the game days. In the closest cases, Xataka companions have suffered problems to access platforms such as Bluesky from the average in specific cases. Always on the weekend (coinciding with the game days). In some cases, the service provider clarifies that we cannot access a certain website by the judicial block. In others, simply do not load the page It is the same case as a server, which a few weeks ago suffered several problems to enter forocoches (where there are already numerous threads reporting difficulties to access the forum). The tonic was exactly the same. In the hours before the party, access to this address was blocked. It was not until the hours after the meeting when it could be accessed normally, both from mobile data and from WiFi. This is a relatively lower problem. Gravity increases when the user cannot access their web platforms necessary to work. This is the case of Álex Jiménez, a journalist of the Local section of Córdoba in eldiario.es. “In my case I am a Digi user. The blockade is simple: at the time the weekend arrives and LaLiga’s games, Besocy’s website stops loading, showing the message I shared in the publication. I have tried to use other devices such as my personal phone or the tablet, both for wifi and by mobile network, and the blockade continues to exist. Normally it stops working both Saturday and Sunday. There is no margin of doubt: the message you see when trying to access Besocya platform that provides media tools, is that “this IP address has been blocked in compliance with the provisions of the judgment of December 18, 2024”. Even more concrete is the case of Rodrigo, who has a Homelab At home to house some of your websites. During the hours before the matches, in some cases from noon, Cloudflare begins to cut the tap. “I use Digi, in my case I have hired the 10GB because I give it enough use since I have a homelab at home and I lodge enough services for the public too. I am happy in that aspect, speed, stability and support. Until the day D arrived, when I see that I cannot access one of my webs Being failing. And indeed, with a VPN, in my case I use protonvpn, connecting even to a server in Spain, everything worked magically, it was to disconnect the VPN and nothing was loaded. Since then I began to monitor all the cloudflare IP’s, at least those that assign me, by region or the plan that I have hired with them. And as a clock, every time there would be football, Cloudflare fell and the second my websites. Rodrigo’s case is one of the most visual, since he has shared with us the hours in which Cloudflare begins to give problems: they coincide with the meeting days and begin to “revive” when the game ends. Fall in the days that there is a game, during the previous hours and its celebration and with return to normal after its completion. This is the blockade that, indiscriminately, are applying operators under court order. What can I do as affected LaLiga blocks are protected by a judicial sentence, one that Rootedcon He wants to lie down after collecting data and testimonies of users and companies that are suffering the blockages in legitimate web addresses. He has been trying to propose nullity incident since February. For now, This is a legal practice (although with serious doubts around and with several demands against him) and we cannot prevent in any way that the operator is given to carry out the blockade. Despite this, we can put some practices into play to try to overcome these blockages. Use VPN: In Xataka We have detailed How to avoid the lalaiga block to cloudflare using VPN. This is the easiest way to skip the restriction since, to perform the blockade the operator not only … Read more

Constant Internet blockages by LaLiga

by

Today, there is LaLiga First Division game. There is also Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Friday no (there is second division), and the weekend, of course, there is both Saturday (the classic, end of the Copa del Rey) and Sunday. That will have a more than likely consequence: indiscriminate blockages of IPS Almost all week. Or all. The situation does not change. The indiscriminate blockages of LaLiga IPS continue. One weekend after another legitimate companies and users are suffering the collateral effects of these measures, which try to combat illegal soccer broadcasts through IPTV services. Today, there is a game of day 32, and tomorrow the 33rd day begins. There are matches every day of the week (Copa del Rey on Saturday, day 34 Sunday). Source: LaLiga. From Cloudflare to Vercel. The cuts have especially affected Cloudflare, a gigantic CDN that makes use of IPS that shares thousands of websites, and all of them are affected by these IPS blockages. In recent days we have seen how other similar suppliers have also been affected, and Vercel is the clearest example. Vercel against LaLiga. Guillermo Rauch, Ceo de Vercel, indicated last week How your company had been affected by these IPS blockades: Spain is censoring the Internet by blocking the IPS of the CDN of @sercel, which is the entrance door of millions of applications and websites. We are working hard to mitigate the problem and restore freedom of expression as much as possible, since they are not very communicative, reserved and are not intimidated by user complaints. “They have blocked us without further ado”. The chief engineer of this company, Matheus Fernandes, explained how the blocking process It had been confusing – “They have blocked us without more telling us why” explained in x– And he had affected legitimate companies again. Meanwhile, Javi Velasco, another company engineer. He tried to clarify How communication with LaLiga had been strange. What LaLiga says. Our mobile Xataka companions They received a series of communications of LaLiga in which they said the following: LaLiga detected a very important pirate broadcast brand with streaming website, which also offered IPTV services, hosted in Vercel. From LaLiga a notification was sent to said company to be deactivated. However, this request was not processed until 24 hours later. With the Vercel company, LaLiga has followed the same process as with any other company where pirate soccer broadcasts are housed. Numerous contact requests that have not been attended have been sent and then working with the Internet service providers, the IPS blockade has been requested where illegal content retransmission has been detected. LaLiga summons any technological company, whose infrastructure is used by cybercriminals to perform illegal retransmissions, to get in touch to reach a collaboration agreement. In the end this gets worse. Which is passing between LaLiga and Vercel —The versions of both parties do not block – it is a replica of what has already happened with Cloudflare. Be that as it may, that fight of LaLiga against those emissions that violate intellectual property are affecting many users. They continue to pay fair for sinners. Blockades that do not end when the games end. These blockages, which should not exist in this indiscriminate format, also last much more than they last from the parties. As Velasco explainedthey received a first report from LaLiga on April 12 and requested more data – often there are reports of illegal websites that are not real – but LaLiga did not answer. Instead, their IPS were blocked without more. The two Vercel IPS remained blocked for days even though matches were no longer issued. Quic.cloud is in the same. Another CDN provider called Quic.cloud has also been affected by the blockages and is in the same situation as Cloudflare and Vercel. On your website have published a statement indicating that “we have tried to contact LaLiga to be able to discuss the situation, but we have not been successful.” This week will be problematic. All these blockages that already affect other CDN service providers seem to indicate that LaLiga measures are not less, but more. That all this week there are broadcasts of First Division football matches propose continuous blockages again, which can make thousands of websites again inaccessible and that many users cannot access them. #Laligagate. Protests for all these problems They are starting to get together in a hashtag In social networks, #laligagate. Ofelia Tejerina, president of the Association of Internet users, recommended those affected by LaLiga blockages to aim the affected domain To this listwhich also shows an estimate of laliga losses.

LaLiga IPS blockages are based on a mysterious judicial sentence. Rootedcon is trying to legally cancel it

by

The War between LaLiga and Cloudflare The IPS blockages ordered by LaLiga to fight against illegal soccer matches leave thousands of websites, but for a few days there are an effort specifically aimed at trying to end the problem. Rootcon against the sentence in which LaLiga is shield. Those responsible for Rootedcon They organized two weeks ago an initiative to collect data and testimonies of those affected. These are companies or people who have seen how their websites – totally legitimate – have been harmed and have ceased to be temporarily accessible during those IPS blockages. That may also have caused economic losses, but the situation persists without being a solution on the horizon. Legal Arthimañas. That is precisely what Rootedcon is trying to do, which has announced that he has raised: “An incident of nullity in the Commercial Court number 6 of Barcelona, ​​against Judgment No. 310/2024, dated December 18, 2024, achieved through legal arthingswhich is used by the League to force operators to block and restrict Internet access in their fight against “piracy” at the request of the football company. This ruling, and the way in which it is being used, violates fundamental rights and limits free access to information, a right that we consider unnegotiable. “ Request for nullity for the sentence. In Xataka we have contacted those responsible for Rootedcon, who have explained that this process is not a legal lawsuit as such, but a petition so that this sentence on which LaLiga is supported is annulled. This sentence has been difficult to locate, and according to rootedcon it should be annulled by violating fundamental rights. There is damage to third parties. As we already explained, the procedures in which LaLiga is shielded They are debatable at the legal levelespecially because the Article 21 of the Civil Procedure Law (LEC). According to this text, the search should be rejected when it involves damage to third parties not demanded in the procedure. Here many affected have not demanded have been –all economically harmed companies and individuals-, but still the measures (the IPS blocks) have been executed anyway. Defense of Freedom of Expression. For rooted with this conflict is being used “to justify actions that limit access to content in the network” and that constitutes “an injustice against freedoms of expression and information.” As they explain in their communication, this blockade “is massive and not only affects the assumptions cybercriminals, but economically impacts the activity of many organizations and companies.” There are currently more than 140,000 websites using Cloudflare services. Not everyone has been affected by the cuts, but of course a part of them. Source: Builtwith. About 140,000 affected potentials. An analysis of the IPS blocked in Cloudflare shows how these IPS are being shared at the moment For more than 140,000 websites. Not everyone is inaccessible, of course: it depends on the services that these websites have hired with this company. However, in that list are all kinds of companies: from the media (El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia, RTVE) to large companies such as Carrefour, Decathlon, Idealist or Pccomponent) and of course websites of more modest projects that are also losing business opportunities for those blockages. And among them, football team websites. Ironically, lalaiga -instructed locks They are also affecting to the websites of First Division equipment. A systems administrator called Jaume Pons has been tracking these blockages for some time and last weekend he warned how the Girona FC online store It was inaccessibleas had also happened to the Valencia CF website either To Kelmesponsor of the Spanish RCD. The legal battle continues. Blocks too. The situation remains worrying for users and companies that legitimately use Internet services in our country. They have become involuntary victims of a Legal battle between LaLiga and Cloudflare that at the moment does not seem to have a solution. The latter began legal actions against LaLigabut there have been no changes in the way of acting of LaLiga, which continues to order these blockages and affect thousands and thousands of users.

Cloudflare begins legal actions against LaLiga for its IPS blockages. They are “clumsy and ineffective”

by

The open war between LaLiga and Cloudflare It is intensified. Since the beginning of February LaLiga has been ordering operators The temporary block of a series of shared IPS that belong to Cloudflare. The goal is to avoid illegal soccer matches, but those indiscriminate blockages are causing damage to third parties. There are many affected by blockages that are causing millions of users to not access thousands of websites during sports broadcasts. Not only users, but also companies that have lost operation and sales During those periods. IP blocks that affect Cloudflare are a measure that has been used in the past by other rights holders In other countries. Italy It is the closest case ours, but it is not clear that the way in which LaLiga is acting Have legal support. In fact, in Spain those affected are now raising possible legal actions against LaLiga. And precisely in Xataka we have received a statement in which it is officially announced that Cloudflare has taken legal actions against LaLiga claiming that their “disproportionate block efforts” are illegal. This is the full text of the statement: “As an open Internet defender for a long time, Cloudflare offers security and reliability services that protect millions of cyber attack sites and reinforce the infrastructure of the Internet. In recent weeks, LaLiga and Spanish ISPs have tried in a mistake address the problem of illegal broadcasts, on the alleged base of a recently issued sentence that would order IP addresses Cloudflare and other cloud service providers, a clumsy and ineffective approach that has prevented millions of users from accessing thousands of websites without any relationship with these activities. Cloudhiding the Court from the foreseeable damage to third parties and the public interest. LaLiga’s actions are a clear threat to the open internet. Cloudflare today presented an incident of nullity against that sentence, in order to establish that the disproportionate wool block measures are illegal. Cloudflare usually collaborates with rights holders to help solve problems such as illegal broadcasts, but LaLiga has not left Cloudflare another option to undertake this legal route. Instead of responding to the concerns of Spanish users about the over-lock of content, LaLiga has tried to divert attention with unfounded accusations against Cloudflare, while intensifying their illegal blockage practices. Cloudflare expects this judicial action to help prevent future indiscriminate blocking measures and make it clear that rights holders cannot put their commercial interests on the fundamental right of millions of consumers to access an open internet. “ In Xataka | This is how Ech works, the Technological Shield of Cloudflare that has put the operators between the sword and the wall

In LaLiga Cloudflare IPS blockages they are paying fair for sinners. The righteous are already proposed legal actions

by

This weekend They turned to produce Problems for many Internet users who failed to access the websites they visit normally. The reason in many cases was the Cloudflare IPS blockade that several operators carried out due to LaLiga’s demands. Users reaches. As we explain, the war between these two entities comes from afar, and the worst thing is that is causing them to pay fair for sinners. However, some of those righteous are preparing to take action on the matter. Affected in action. Román Ramírez (@patowc), cybersecurity expert and event organizer Rootedconhe published last Friday a message in X (formerly Twitter) encouraging those affected to contact him. The objective, to ensure that those who had suffered the problems offer evidence of it to be able to collect them and gather enough evidence. Legal actions in sight. Javier A. Master (@Javieramastre), who exercises (among other things) as a lawyer from Rootedcon, recently explained the legal details of these actions and is part of that effort of Ramírez to clarify what is happening. Both are convinced that LaLiga is in a clear illicit, and that the legal arguments of that organism are not valid. Freedom of expression. For Ramírez, fundamental rights such as freedom of expression are being violated, “which should not be above economic interests.” Meanwhile, Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, published a message in x accusing Cloudflare of being “perfect accomplice” of criminals who, for example, publish child pornography on the Internet. In that message, says Ramírez, Thebes himself explicitly admits that he is causing damage to third parties, something that theoretically should not be able to do LaLiga if he complied with the law. Shared IPS. The fundamental problem is, as we have already mentioned, that LaLiga requests IP addresses to avoid illegal broadcasts of IPTV football matches. The problem is that in many cases these IPS belong to Cloudflare, but those IPS are shared and if you tomb the IP, you tomb all web sites and services that depend on said IP. Cloudflare does not collaborate in LaLiga. According to LaLiga, Cloudflare does not collaborate at the closure of the IPTV service of the offenders. However, Ramírez explains that what LaLiga demands is to have “total access to her backend.” Cloudflare knows, of course, the web sites and services that “hang” from the same shared IP, but one of its premises is to hide that information – for that the protcolo ECH is served – as well as protect that information and its customers precisely to avoid cyber attacks and BLOCKS. The ideal solution. Cloudflare could thus leave only the website or server that is committing the alleged infraction, but that should be dictated by a judge. The current laws allow LaLiga to send a weekly IPS list to block, and from there the operators must block them or would be exposed to the breach of the judicial mandate. Ideally, a judge, knowing IP address and domain or even the SNI (Server Name Indication), demanded the closure of that exclusive service. Thus Cloudflare could disable that access at the request of the judge and not of the head of the property rights of the issuance, which is the one who demands that indiscriminate block and that affects legitimate websites and websites. Evidence. Those affected who want to provide evidence can do so by contacting Román Ramírez via X (@patowc), as writing to the email address info@rootedcon.com. The objective is to collect as many evidence as you can in the next few days to see how hundreds and even thousands of legitimate websites are inaccessible during soccer matches. And possible demand. With all those data, Ramírez and Maestre hope to build an expert case and report with which to execute a potential demand to LaLiga. The ultimate goal is to raise a complaint with which to apply precautionary measures and that these IPS blocks are suspended.
