So there are 3 main ISP's in Turkey Türk Telekom, Vodafone and Turkcell. From my testings Vodafone(dsl) is fine but Turkcell(cellular) seems to block those sites. Most weird of all (at least in my case) Vodafone uses Türk Telekom's backbone and distrubiton but it doesn't get affected by these blocks

Is it literally just DNS filtering? If you change your phone DNS it might just straight up work again.
