前几天远程帮朋友弄电脑，想下一个用了好几年的软件，结果官网怎么都打不开。本来想着可能是临时故障，等两天就好了，没想到一查发现全球都访问不了。顺着线索追下去，最后追到了一封邮件——这网站消失的原因，说实话我之前真没想到。

!--more-->

邮件是一位软件开发者发给论坛用户的。

"Hi, sorry for the late reply. I didn't have internet access for a few weeks, and even now my connection is still unstable. Internet access in my country, Iran, has been completely cut off for reasons you might already know, and as a result the website server, which is based in Iran, has also gone offline. I was working on a new version as well, but for now it's unclear when it will be released. Hopefully, if nothing unexpected happens, the issue will be fixed in the next few days."

"Wishing freedom for everyone."

一个软件开发者，为什么会"几周没有网络"？

事情要从更早说起。

一个打不开的网页

前几天远程帮朋友弄电脑，习惯性打开浏览器，准备去 HiBit Uninstaller 官网下个卸载工具。网址早就记住了：hibitsoft.ir。

结果页面转了半天，弹出一个无法访问的提示。

没当回事。.ir 是伊朗的
