So since this was done at the DNS level, not the hosting level, does this mean if you're running a pi-hole or AdGuardHome you can add some extra redirects for zlib to its actual IPs? I guess you could also just hardcode these in your computer's host file but then you have to do it for every device on your LAN. Assuming their IPs change somewhat frequently, is there any way to do this in an auto-updating way?
- malermeister 4y agoEven more interestingly, could somebody set up a "pirate DNS" for public use that would still resolve these (and other domains seized for similar reasons) while deferring to a "regular" DNS for everything else?
- ahelwer 4y agoI guess in a way the Pirate Bay is just a pirate DNS for magnet links.

So you need to maintain your own address tables, and get updates through private communications.
