Iran After Dark is a resource designed to help prepare for internet shutdowns and disruptions when they happen.
The website includes several toolkits designed to help users connect to the internet and enhance their online security, especially during an internet shutdown. The everyday toolkit can be used daily Internet access, while the internet disruption, internet shutdown and total shutdown toolkits are useful for when internet speeds slow down, or worse, if internet connections are shut-down completely. These toolkits are available for download in one offline webpage so that you can open it any time the internet is down, and when you need to read up on the tools that are available.
You can also learn more about internet shutdowns at our Information Hub, and you can help inform Iran After Dark team about disruptions using the “Your Experiences” page.
