  i was thinking of some “automated browser” type, like if the browser returns an error page saying it’s blocked, the LLM would get the "blocked from website"ish error as the page content, and shouldn’t it say something around “I’m sorry, I couldn’t access the website” instead of “Sure! Here’s a summary of that webpage” followed by hallucinated bs. well maybe that’s not the case here?

  encryption is legal, DPI is used to block specific websites that are deemed illegal in this country like pornography, gambling, “national security” related (North Korean stuff mainly), piracy, etc. for context where I live is South Korea.

  attached a machine translated screenshot of warning.or.kr (where blocked pages get redirected to) Image

  without deep packet inspection

  DPI is being used actively in a lot of countries including where I live, sadly
