VeriSign, the administrator of the .com and .net domains, made plans to shut down its new Site Finder service Friday, after the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ordered the company to undo controversial changes.
As legal and political challenges to VeriSign's "SiteFinder" domain name redirector mount, Chinese and other overseas network operators have taken technical steps to bypass the controversial service.

VeriSign has filed a lawsuit claiming that the nonprofit organisation responsible for overseeing domain names and online addresses has overstepped its authority and blocked innovations that could benefit Internet users.
ICANN Chairman Vint Cerf fires back at critics who say his organisation impedes innovation on the Internet.
