why go by IP, it looks as though they can't afford a domain like that:

http://www.naenara.com.kp/en/


Ah. I only found links to naenara.kp, which didn't work.


just tried to connect from south korea and got redirected to http://www.warning.or.kr/

hope i dont get the wifi's owner in trouble :(


Whoa. Seriously? Is South Korea known for heavy online censorship?


Seriously, yes. South Korea censors the North Korean websites and some illegal ones (heavy porn, for example) too. I think there are no known such instances against the free speech rather than NK-related ones, but I'm afraid that there might be in the future.


> heavy porn

porn + tf2?


This is the redirect for sites that South Korea bans. Also applies to gambling websites, certain porn, North Korea related things, etc.


Not loading here... server overload?

내나라 (naenara) literally means "my country".


Looks like it just got combinatorized.


I like how they call their country "Korea".


What else would they call it? (use DPRK everywhere?) They don't recognize the "other" Korea. South Korea does the same, e.g. at http://www.mofat.go.kr/
