Some content is blocked in Norway. Since 1 January 2025 the Norwegian Gambling Authority can instruct internet providers to block the domain names of unlicensed gambling sites, and courts have ordered providers to block a number of piracy sites. Some people try to reach such sites through a VPN or proxy, but the rules stay the same for them, so it is worth being careful.
