A few sites are reporting outages in Iran. Nothing major being reported yet though.

always happens when even a whisper of news about protests are posted online. they’ve been fast about it too.

Damn. Thats nuts. I hope your family there is safe.

Oftentimes, "internet outages" are just attacks on DNS. Learning how DNS works fixes this.

Also, if you get them on nostr (even with a self hosted strfry server) you could keep talking. Just have them add relays by IP address.

For example, relayble.org is actually 172.96.167.212

Again this assumes its just DNS and not internet routing that's the problem.

I hope your cousin and your family and friends over there are safe 💕

Is internet back up? Have you had any contact with your cousin?

They should learn about Tails Os if the internet is being sensored:
