How do the alternative domains fare in the UK? With https://sci-hub.st/ I can circumvent the ISP block in Sweden successfully.

https://sci-hub.st does not work in the UK [edit: on Sky].

Virgin says no.

Interestingly I get this:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to sci-hub.st. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

I know by memory that is what I get when an HTTP server responsd to an HTTPS/SSL request :)

Interestingly it works on HTTPS but with HTTP you get a block page referencing the court order (confirmed by a friend on Plusnet)

Same here, I hadn't tried HTTP. I wonder if this is Plusnet conforming to the letter of the law in quiet defiance? Of course, it could just be an error on their part...
