  Or maybe they could use [Node.js core DNS](https://nodejs.org/api/dns.html#dns_dns_setservers_servers https://nodejs.org/api/dns.html#dns_dns_setservers_servers) module to resolve the domain, setting something like [censurfridns](http://www.censurfridns.dk/ http://www.censurfridns.dk/) as a temporary server. I think this module is very immoral, however, so I'm not going to contribute...

  More concerned about the lack of https. Pirate bay might be legal in your country, but that doesn't mean you want snoopers logging your porn searches.

    The way piratebay blocks are done round my neck of the woods, it's blocked at the IP layer, not just DNS. Hosts file hackery doesn't help.

      That sucks. You need a vpn then.
