Less than a week after the blocking of Google Analytics accounts, today when opening the Asus site, we encountered a 403 error stating that access to the Asus site from Iran’s IP is restricted. In the details of this error, it is clearly mentioned that the Taiwanese have closed access to their site hosted by Amazon CloudFront to Iranians.
The restriction of access to the Asus website means that apart from cutting off access to the Asus product and support pages, Iranian users cannot access the Asus Download Center without IP change tools or VPN. Download product updates and drivers or Download the Armory Crate application have access
Previously, the Asus ROG gaming products page was closed to Iranian users; Of course, this restriction had been removed for a while; But now the restriction imposed by Asus includes the entire web pages of the company. The Taiwanese appear to have taken the lead in imposing this restriction before the new US administration took office.
Do you think this action will mean the beginning of a new round of permanent restrictions on access to the Asus site or even the import of this company’s products and similar actions by other companies, or do you think this is temporary and will be resolved soon?
Do you think that the process of blocking and sanctions will continue with this intensity?
