The webaite is well designed for a 17 year old, or at least for someone to at least attempt the cause.

So these are blocked on a DNS Level? So just using a different DNS (like 9.9.9.9 or 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) will get around this „block“

From the article

To address the alleged censorship part, the site also links to various options available to the public to circumvent the blocking efforts. This includes switching to third party DNS resolvers.

This ‘secrecy’ is not an oversight but a feature that’s codified in the agreement between rightsholders and Internet providers.

Well this setup seems perfectly secure and not at all susceptible to malicious actors.

Secrecy and bypassing court orders? It seems like illegal censorship to me.

How do they even block it? Dns filter or they also block the hosting server?

Italy also has DNS filtering, but they recently added IP blocking for some sports streaming websites. This had terrible consequences

This had terrible consequences

Ha, they never learn. They also blocked most of Cloudflare in Austria a few years back.

Fun fact: It was the first IP block they tried. They haven't tried again since then.

its just missing dns entrys.

if you configure anything other than your providers default dns server you don't notice it.

Just dns blocks, s.to for example has a site dedicated to lising all domains of theirs and ways to change your dns server which isnt blocked afaik. serien.domains if you wanna check it out

Disappointing, Germany. How can we trust you to find the best pirate sites when not even thepiratebay.org is on the list?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

usage of public torrent tracker in germany is almost non-existent
the fear of getting sued by copyright laywers is pretty high

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

After a quick butchers at the list, I think they are going after streaming sites rather than torrent sites per se.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They don't block torrents because they like to watch people connect to the nodes and then sue them.

It's always better to use onion routing.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The ones that monitor torrent to sue people are lawyer firms, not the government.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

The government is also not blocking any sites. Only like 5 ISPs are in the CUII. Many people are not even affected

Nah, stick to VPNs. Don't overload Tor with pirate media. Tor network isn't meant for large data transfers like that.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I2P could be a suitable alternative for this. Although it is rather slow it still works and you dont have to worry about beeing exposed

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Pretty much like the original reason why napster has been created. It could resume downloads which in the times of early internet explorer wasn't that guaranteed

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

I think the list mostly contains german piracy websites like kino is german for cinema
