A 17-year-old student has launched a dedicated portal to exposing Germany's 'secret' pirate site blocklist to the public.

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

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

its just missing dns entrys.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
