- gabemart 14y agoI don't know how the blocking is actually being done, but it's not via DNS. I've been using 8.8.8.8 at home and piratebay.org remains blocked.
- sdfjkl 14y agoIP based, so using a different DNS resolver doesn't help.

- Lagged2Death 14y agoSounds like a VPN will completely and invisibly bypass the block. So the filtering will only inconvenience the least sophisticated (and from the point of view of the "content industry," the least scary) violators. It's a plan that might have been drafted by the highest levels of organized piracy, to keep the hoi polloi in their thrall.
