Piracy probably. It's easier to block the whole domain. It's also blocked on BSNL. Their DNS servers respond with a BSNL IP for streamable.com.
This is why people shouldn't be using their ISPs DNS.🙁

By this post I learnt that streamable is blocked.. why? What does this site violate? Is it blocked on other ISPs too?
Its so annoying too since people tend to use streamable to post on reddit.
 
May be because of the por n and illegal copies of other sources of entertainment ; never use internet on Indian ISP without protection this has been the norm since jios advent, cloud flare has been a blessing in in disguise for us Indians in the times ISPs have unilaterally decided to censor something
 
@JB701 TATA blocks things? I thought they were the big transit provider guys?

TATA does block over http but not over https.
ISPs using Airtel as provider blocks over both HTTP and HTTPS. This is annoying because some VPN Servers in India use Airtel for transit. On those sites are blocked.
 


I get this message on BSNL for Streamable
"Your requested URL has been blocked as per the directions received from Department of Telecommunications, Government of India"

I thought transit providers were immune to copyright claims from any country. HE recently went to court against some one wanting it block access to a website for piracy. Aren't ISPs the ones who are responsible for blocking? Are HE and TATA different tier ISPs?

Change dns. BSNL DNS responds with the wrong IP address, probably the one used to show these notices. With BSNLs pace of doing things, they might not even update their DNS records for a few months if it ever gets unblocked anyway.
 
Both TATA and HE are tier 1 I think. I'm not sure this is how it works but there are two ASNs AS6453 and AS4755. AS4755 is used in India and (Sri Lanka?). There is http blocking on this ASN.

There is also AS6453 which is used internationally and not in India. On this ASN there is no blocking.

Though AS6453 and AS4755 are connected together.
 
They started off as vsnl within India. I guess they just created a new AS when they bought/invested in under sea cables for international use cases

I am using NextDNS for DNS not the BSNL one
