Are there any technical details as to how this is going to be achieved yet? Things like pirate bay are supposed to be blocked by ISPs but you can access it just fine if you're using Google DNS.


Not with BT!

  MBP:~ matt$ nslookup piratebay.sx
  Server:		8.8.8.8
  Address:	8.8.8.8#53

  Non-authoritative answer:
  Name:	piratebay.sx
  Address: 194.71.107.27

  MBP:~ matt$ curl -H "Host: piratebay.sx" 194.71.107.27

I'm on BT too - pirateproxy didn't work until I changed to Google DNS:

nslookup pirateproxy.net Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com Address: 8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer: Name: pirateproxy.net Addresses: 78.138.99.186 91.236.116.37 78.138.99.189

Having said that, piratebay.sx says blocked regardless what I use.
