What’s blocked in Turkey right now

Every day we open 67 of the world’s biggest sites and apps from home internet connections in Turkey, and record what’s blocked, since when and how.

32 of 67sites and apps tested so far in the first round

Each one is tested from home internet connections in Turkey, and a block shows up only once a second test a few hours later confirms it, so the results fill in over the first day.

Blocked in Turkey?

A VPN connects you through a server in another country, so the blocks in Turkey no longer apply. Where VPNs themselves are blocked, you need one that can disguise its traffic.

History

Changes in Turkey

No confirmed changes since monitoring began on 29 Sep 2026. When a block appears or lifts, and a second test agrees, it shows up here.

Method

How we test

  • Test machines on Türk Telekom and Turkcell Superonline home connections open each site’s homepage every day.
  • A failure counts only when it happens twice on the same network, while the site opens from other countries.
  • A change is published only after a second test, a few hours later, agrees. It’s dated from the first sighting.
  • We test websites over home broadband. Apps, calls and mobile networks can behave differently.
