Dear Users,
 
Recently, we received a notice from Earthlink, an operator in Baghdad, Iraq, that in the next one month, the Iraqi government will forcibly shut down all international network services from&nbsp;11:00-13:00 (UTC+8).
 
The reason is a mandatory regulation issued by the Iraqi government to prevent the leakage of student test answers.
 
During this period, all international networks at the Baghdad data center in Iraq will experience an outage. Affected dates:
August 26, 2025 August 27, 2025 August 28, 2025 August 30, 2025 August 31, 2025 September 1, 2025 September 2, 2025 September 3, 2025 September 4, 2025 September 6, 2025 September 7, 2025 September 8, 2025 September 9, 2025 September 10, 2025 September 11, 2025 September 13, 2025
