Imagine not using a VPN for torrent content and using that fact as a kind of gotcha...
Use the money you save pirating software and movies to pay for a vpn to pirate them with.
VPNs are really cheap
I bet it would be as simple as changing your DNS server to bypass this
Yes, all they need to do is change their DNS servers. Zero cost.
Is that some sort of ISP-level block?
Sounds like you need a VPN.
Or maybe just an IP address
That or another DNS server
Why are you using your isp's DNS? Change it to something like 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9 or any number of others to bypass the Australian ISP DNS filtering
Though ideally you should be using a VPN instead
It did that for me but I fixed it with a VPN (which you should be using anyway)
All you need to do is change your DNS servers. It costs you nothing.
Google it. Or simply use NEXTDNS.
use a vpn?
It's only a DNS block in Australia, your ISP isn't routing you to it. There are benefits to using a bigger DNS provider like Cloudflare etc.
Use a proxy.
It's blocked for me in Europe because of the sanctions against Russia, but I can easily access it using TOR browser. Might want to try that if you don't want to use a vpn.
What about watchsomuch.to?
Try one of these
