North Korea is the most hermetically sealed, most isolated and most secretive country in the world. This is also evidenced by the findings of the security engineer of the Uber mobile application, Matthew Bryant, who after an error in North Korea's web system (an error occurred in the configuration of the servers) was able to get hold of the list of all websites with a North Korean domain (.kp). He was surprised to find that North Koreans can only access 28 websites!
Did you know you can internet users in North Korea only access 28 websites? You certainly haven't, because it is the most isolated country in the world that carefully guards its privacy. But recently it happened Matthew Bryant, Uber's security engineer, via script or a program that runs in the background and which he used to look for bugs and holes in the system, unexpectedly came across a list of North Korean websites, i.e. pages with the country domain .kp.
There are only 28 of them, but mostly they smell like state propaganda, and some are also English. Among others, the North Koreans have your own version of Facebook, which is called Friend.

Technically speaking, North Koreans do not have access to the web. Instead, they use it internally Kwangmjong online service. This network provides email and censored information from foreign scientific websites and access to websites managed by the government. In 2013, North Korea also offered uncensored internet via the 3G network for a short period for tourists, but she canceled it after a month. The Internet as such is accessible only to the highest officials - the country has only 1024 IP addresses!
