OpenIX Beirut is now MANRS compliant: Lebanon's exchange has met the routing security standard since day one, and today that setup is independently validated, with all five IXP actions in place.

One year in, we’re doubling down on OpenIX Beirut by extending 100% free port fees for 3 more years to support Lebanon's networking community. We’ve also launched the new PF Console, giving connected networks total, real-time visibility into their traffic flows. Let's keep keeping Lebanon’s internet at home! 🇱🇧🌐

We are introducing a neutral, open-source caching network to bring content localization to every local broadcaster, publisher, and developer, not just the hyperscalers. xitter.cf/PFoundation/status/206…

Lebanon’s internet kept evolving in 2025: traffic grew 36%, desktop share rose to 45%, and iOS climbed to 37%. On the network side, ISP market share continued to shift, the long tail of micro-ISPs grew, while latency stayed around 51 ms for many services. p.foundation/updates/2025lb_…

Localizing more internet traffic in Lebanon isn’t just smart; it’s essential. It improves performance, lowers costs, drives economic growth, and strengthens national infrastructure and that’s exactly why we recently launched OpenIX Beirut. p.foundation/messages/Introd…

Having Ogero as the exclusive backbone provider puts the entire country at risk. Today’s issue is a clear example, @Ogero is making the case against itself, and showing why @Starlink is essential for both businesses and individuals.

خطر انقطاع لبنان عن العالم الخارجي اليوم أكبر من أي وقت مضى. وزير الاتصالات جوني القرم لم يمنح بعد ترخيصًا لخدمة ستارلينك، رغم أنها قد تكون الحل الوحيد، وسبق أن رفض منحة قدمناها تضمن إبقاء جزء كبير من المؤسسات والساحات متصلة بالإنترنت.

Lebanon is on the brink of a massive blackout as Minister Johnny Corm prioritizes his commitment to Hezbollah over the needs of his country. His refusal to license the only viable solution using Starlink, or to accept the @pfoundation_ grant of 150 (which we are willing to increase to 750) kits, exemplifies this misplaced priority.

As potentials of military conflict increase in Lebanon, we are expanding our MediaGuard program to bring more support for media organizations. p.foundation/messages/mediag…

Contrary to the apps that alert you of earthquakes, we use our local seismographs to alert you as soon as a tremor is detected across Lebanon. خلافاً للعديد من التطبيقات التي تنذركم بحدوث زلزال، إننا نستخدم أجهزة قياس محلية لنعلمكم بحدوث اهتزاز فور رصده على الأراضي اللبنانية.
