MTNL Blocking Torrent sites ?

[Metalspree]

Superbad thanks for the reply . I am unable to get a Korean proxy , can u PM me one ??.

I am able to access all sites via a Russian proxy but the surfing becomes super slow

 

[Superbad]

@Metalspree check pm

Same here.
Aircel already blocked all popular torrent sites.....

 

[aasimenator]

i guess no body knows this till now, but you don't need any proxy server to get access to torrent sites

MTNL has blocked it by redirecting its dns services, its not hard to change the dns server.

Login in to the Router page & select User Discovered DNS & enter Primary DNS server as 8.8.8.8 (Google's DNS)

Keep the MTNL DNS Server as secondary (not necessary though). Save & reboot and all sites blocked by MTNL will start working. Enjoy !

Private trackers are safe right? IPT is the only thing I'm relying on right now.

 

[dinjo]

All private trackers work.

 

[terence_fdes]

been offline past 48 hours and ...... so many, many solutions that you guys have pointed out. Will take me some time to figure out..... and will again be offline for the next 2-3 days. But HELL & WTF ....why did this have to happen at all .... curse MTNL & the horrible censor folks....

I really wish I knew how to hack ...... (sigh)..... I hope & pray that "Anonymous" Group really hits hard and bad ... to all those in power. Really, really angry ..... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I changed my DNS setting in my router and in my system to use google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) yet I am getting the same old
"Access to this site has been blocked as per Court Orders" message. BTW I am using micromax ADSL router supplied by airtel. Does the router maintains a persistant cached copy of the DNS-IP mapping or something? I have restarted the router and system and still the changes are not taking effect.

is it just me or i can open anthing without any block .

PS - I am on Google DNS since a long time and nothing else .

for other's try hidemyass.com

i'm using this( still in beta stage)--
Introducing DNSCrypt (Preview Release)
i can open xmarks, dailymotion, vimeo, piratebay, torrentz, (don't know any other sites which are blocked.)

This software encrypts DNS packets between your computer and OpenDNS. This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks and snooping of DNS traffic by ISPs or others.

This is really really sad. Totally takes away, what the net is supposed to be.

Dailymoition was showing up with the "blocked by incompetent authority" message a few days back, but it came back up again.

OT: Is IPT down?

 

[dinjo]

It was down yesterday due to DDOS Attack.

Finally got internet yesterday, courtesy MTNL -- started out by checking torrentz.eu, not surprisingly greeted with the blocked message.

But a simple change in the URL [added https:/] and viola got inside and running fine.

Have you guys tried opening magnet urls for torrents?
I use MTNL 3G net and the magnet URLs work superb, can download at 2ish Mbps on Utorrent.

I can open that without having to add a 's' from my office connection

There are 2 solutions to this problem as of now:
Solution 1:
1. Go to 'Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center'.
2. Click on 'Local Area Connection' under 'Connections'.
3. Click on Properties in the dialogue box that opens up.
4. Select 'TCP/IPv4' and then click Properties.
5. Change Preferred DNS and Alternate DNS to an open DNS server (eg. 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4)

If this does not work...
Solution 2:
1. Go to a proxy web browser (eg. proxybrowsing.com)
2. Browse all the websites you cannot access through this browser.
NOTE: Browsing may become slower with this method.

Just checked, the blocks are history now.

India is certainly looking up to China for inspiration. How sad. Just heard from a semi-reliable source that almost all the torrents sites will be blocked in the coming months, public and private.

 

[umesh_boogy]

I am using Google DNS and everything is working fine

 

[antz123]

Strange Error, I can open any site, i have ZERO blockage. Am from MUmbai, using Net9. However if i add the Magnet Link of Priatebay it shows ZERO files and thus torrents dont work.

E.g if i downloading a "'free" documentary like Zietgiest and if i copy the Mag link when i add/paste link in Utorrent, in the pop box it gives details like where it is downloading, what all files can be downloaded, you can check/uncheck things like sample etc if you dont want them.... etc..... now that pop up box is like BLANK. thus even if i click OK nothing moves on.

Any suggestions?
