bet2512

A custom Dockerfile, ooniprobe test deck and URL list compiled from different version of blocklists introduced in Cyprus.

In order to run this test you will need to install the Docker engine. You can find installation instructions for your system here.

In Linux, you need to be a superuser when invoking docker, e.g. by using sudo before each of the docker commands. Therefore, instead of:

docker ps

you need to execute:

sudo docker ps

and provide your user password.

Build the Docker container

First, you need to clone this git repository on your machine:

git clone https://github.com/hack66/bet2512.git

Alternatively, if you don't have git installed, you can download it as a file from here and unzip it in your user folder.

Then, you can build the ooniprobe container with the following command:

docker build -t ooniprobe bet2512/

For further instructions on running Docker on Windows refer to the Docker documentation.

Start the Docker container

First, you need to find the IP address of the DNS server of your Internet Service Provider. You can do so by visiting the website http://whatsmyresolver.stdlib.net/. For example the primary DNS server address of CYTA is 195.14.130.170.

In order to start running the tests, replace DNSRESOLVIP with the IP address of your Internet Service Provider's DNS server and run the following command:

docker run --dns DNSRESOLVIP -p 8842:8842 -d ooniprobe

The measurements will take some time to complete, so please allow at least three hours before disconnecting from the Internet.

If you don't shut down your system and if you don't stop the Docker container, the tests will be running every day. Otherwise, please remember to run the above command after each reboot, in order to re-start the container.

You can access the ooniprobe web interface by visiting http://localhost:8842 in your browser. If you get the Unable to connect page, your container is probably not running and you need to restart it with the above command. In Windows, you need to replace localhost with whatever you get back from running:

docker-machine ip ooniprobe

Uninstalling ooniprobe

First, you need to find the ID of the ooniprobe Docker container:

docker ps -q --filter ancestor=ooniprobe

Copy the output of the previous command and use it in place of CONTID in the the following commands:

docker stop CONTID
docker rm CONTID

Now you can uninstall the Docker engine. For Windows, you can find the official guide here.

Things you should know before using ooniprobe

OONI is not designed to protect the privacy of those running the tests. Please go through the relative page on the project website here and only proceed if you understand the risks involved.

Thank you for taking the time to run the tests, we will update this page with the findings in early April.
