Following the blocking of the international domains of several Iranian websites, the Vigol platform also announced the blocking of its own domain by publishing a notice. Previously, the international domains of Sports Three and Tetherland websites were also unavailable, and these two websites were moved to alternative addresses with the national extension "dot IR" to continue their activities.
Iman Samizda, an expert in artificial intelligence and network security, says that transferring Iranian commercial domains to the national domain could endanger the security of users and webmasters beyond blocking.
