> and prohibiting search engines and domain name registries from "facilitating access" to Sci-Hub. I just searched for "sci-hub" on DDG, Google and Bing, and the sci-hub.st or sci-hub.se domain was the top result on each. I wonder what happened to the prohibition.

Here in the UK the main sci-hub domains are blocked at the ISP level. We're a very censorous country.

  Does using DNS over HTTPS avoid this block? Edit: Thank you for the replies.

    Nope. Just tried. Hard redirect to http://www.ukispcourtorders.co.uk/?JNI_URL=sci-hub.st/&JNI_REASON=BY_USER_DEFINED&JNI_CATEGORY=court_order_category_1000&JNI_REPUTATION=BY_SITE_REPUTATION_NULL_REPUTATION&JNI_POLICY=cf_profile&JNI_SRCIP=146.198.195.124&JNI_SRCPORT=54030&JNI_DSTIP=186.2.163.201&JNI_DSTPORT=80 http://www.ukispcourtorders.co.uk/?JNI_URL=sci-hub.st/&JNI_R...

      It's very nice of the UK Government to give a nice ordered list of pirate sites to use, as long as you take the 30 seconds required to change your DNS or use a VPN.

        Now finally a tax payer funded service by the UK Government that we all can appreciate.

      The URL contains "JNI_DSTIP=186.2.163.201&JNI_DSTPORT=80"; so maybe they're intercepting connections to this IP? Does explicitly adding https:// https:// work? Otherwise there's always Opera where you can just click the "VPN" button.

    And I can't reply to myself above, but after starting ExpressVPN I can access the sites fine.

    Just changing your dns is fine.

    DNS-o-TLS and bouncing from a UK-region cloud-provider endpoint works for me. Any ISP blocking (internet censorship in the UK is more rife than you’d expect) is either done via hijacking DNS (which D-o-T mitigates) or if you’ve a consumer ISP connection.

  Not by all ISPs, eg my ISP is Andrews and Arnold that does not censor the internet.
