According to security expert Junade Ali , who monitors various North Korean servers, all traffic to and from North Korea was blocked after North Korea launched a projectile on January 25, 2022. It was said that. Although I was able to reconnect to my mail server after about 6 hours, websites such as North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the official portal site Naenara have been down for some time.
NK Pro, which publishes news about North Korea, also reported that 'most websites in North Korea cannot be accessed because the DNS of North Korea has stopped communicating on the route that the data packet follows.'
