They only blocked http access, it looks like. Sites that support https still work.

I guess the ISPs are only sniffing port 80?

No, It means the people who are blocking sites don't know how to do it properly.

Having said that, this is hardly surprising.

At least vimeo is still blocked on port 443.

I think that's because they redirect to http?

The Pirate Bay works on https (I love that they have legit certs)

I can access most of the websites using https, but Vimeo redirects to http site.
