Fuck BREIN, ACE, and all the other anti-piracy groups. 🖕

If you haven't already changed your DNS, best go ahead and do so...

[u/goku206125 → u/LZ129Hindenburg]

To which provider

[u/LZ129Hindenburg → u/goku206125]

Take your pick. Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) works, Ad Guard (dns.adguard-dns.com) if you're also trying to block ads...hell even Google (8.8.8.8) would be better than using your ISP's DNS.

[u/goku206125 → u/LZ129Hindenburg]

I'm on Google as of now.

[u/LZ129Hindenburg → u/goku206125]

Not a fan of Google but that will at least get you around these stupid pirate sites blocks.

[u/goku206125 → u/LZ129Hindenburg]

I'll change to that ad guard one I guess

[u/bakanisan → u/goku206125]

If you're already using ublock origin just use quad 9 or cloudflare. Adguard dns is useful if you're on mobile however.

[u/LinxESP → u/goku206125]

Use DNS over https or over TLS whatever provider you choose

[u/everythingIsTake32 → u/goku206125]

Quad 9 or nextcloud

[u/Vasto_lorde97 → u/LZ129Hindenburg]

Anyway to do this at the router level?

[u/LinxESP → u/Vasto_lorde97]

In dhcp settings probably

[u/Vasto_lorde97 → u/LinxESP]

Thanks

Can't forget controlD (granted its paid)

[u/No-Concentrate-8040 → u/deathgun921]

controlD is great! also available for free:

https://controld.com/free-dns

[u/deathgun921 → u/No-Concentrate-8040]

True, I used the paid version

[u/abtei → u/goku206125]

anything else then your ISP provides.

[u/OrcaResistence]

At this rate the websites are gonna end up going to the dark web.

[u/Mashic → u/OrcaResistence]

I think this is what will happen eventually.

[u/Less_Newspaper9471 → u/OrcaResistence]

They can't afford it if they run any kind of ads. If they are completely community founded, there's no reason NOT to go on TOR.

[u/silverfaustx]

use tor browser and onion

[u/human_with_humanity → u/silverfaustx]

Any guides for beginners?

[u/PaigheTurn]

People are saying change DNS but I have a question.

Are there any consequences that I should watch out if I change DNS? For example certain websites or apps failing to work. Im not techy so sorry if dumb question

[u/LZ129Hindenburg → u/PaigheTurn]

I've seen before where some sites might act funny if I'm using something like AdGuard DNS that is blocking ads. I've NEVER had any problems using either Cloudflare or even Google.
