Hey Siddharth,

Have you checked other stock sites (Digital Railroad, Alamy, etc.)? Would be interesting to see how extensive the blocking is…

Hi Siddharth, i checked Photoshelter just now, and it works, but I am with Du. I have not got any banned sites at all since I changed my internet provider. You might want to check them, see if they work in your area

If it is being blocked you could look at using a web proxy, or TOR, to get past the blocking.
