For HN's standards, the article is disappointingly light on detail. It's not hard to imagine what they did but confirmations would be nice. They should remove "How" from the article's title.

I found this medium blog about internet censoring in Iran [0]. There are other posts there detailing the situation of Internet in Iran.

Here's the NetBlocks article: https://netblocks.org/reports/internet-disrupted-in-iran-ami... It looks like network connectivity is going back up.

Based on traffic flows into Cloudflare managed domains... yes, connectivity seems to have come back _a tiny bit_ compared to yesterday.
