How do the alternative domains fare in the UK? With https://sci-hub.st/ I can circumvent the ISP block in Sweden successfully.

https://sci-hub.st does not work in the UK [edit: on Sky].

[tonyedgecombe]

Works on Zen.

[londons_explore]

Works on BT broadband

Virgin says no.

Interestingly I get this:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to sci-hub.st. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

I know by memory that is what I get when an HTTP server responsd to an HTTPS/SSL request :)

[AndrewDucker]

Yeah, that's how Virgin implement their blocking

[callahad]

Both .se and .st work for me on A&A (DSL) and on Three (Mobile)

Works fine here, on EE network in the UK.

[Gormisdomai]

I'm UK based and can't hit it on home wifi

Works for me on Plusnet in the UK, thanks!

Interestingly it works on HTTPS but with HTTP you get a block page referencing the court order (confirmed by a friend on Plusnet)

Same here, I hadn't tried HTTP. I wonder if this is Plusnet conforming to the letter of the law in quiet defiance? Of course, it could just be an error on their part...
