How to fix broken Adf.Ly Links (especially for Indian Users)

As most of you know, AdGiant Adf.Ly has been blocked by Indian Telecom. That means no Indian IP can access the site or the links shortened by adf.ly. If you're an Indian user, and are sick of all the broken adf.ly links that hide your favorite content or download links, I have a solution for you!

The first thing that makes us Indians very lucky is that our government is foolish enough not to check for bypasses when they block a domain. The second thing is, this bypass will never expire because 'it is verified'. Yes it is. All you need to do is:

If your link is like this:

http://adf.ly/2gkfc

Just change the http:// to https://

Now the link will appear as:

https://adf.ly/2gkfc

and its done!

Adf.ly is working on resolving this problem and would have already done that by now. But for the time being, you don't have to miss out on your downloads or your contents. Repeated restrictions are becoming a heavy menace for advertisers these days. First thing this country can't give everyone a decent job, and when we try to earn a bit of money, they'd hinder that too.

Good luck!
