The one thing I've not seen mentioned yet in the Sci-Hub discussions is that the national level academic ISPs seem to have put a very effective domain and IP address block on SciHub. I've tested this both from UK and Scandinavian university networks I have access to, and none of the SciHub domains nor the direct IPs are accessible.
Can anyone in the US or rest of Europe with university access test this?
It's certainly ironic when you need an ssh tunnel from your university to your home to be able to read academic papers at work.
Edit: I have not tried eduroam, just uni ethernets. All Norwegian universities have the block both on DNS and on IPs. Imperial College only has the block on DNS, not on the IP.
