Piracy
pretty much everyone of my sites got nuked
Discussion
Were you refining Uranium by any chance? I heard Uranium enrichment sites are pretty hot targets these days idk.
He was trying to refine Uranus 😃
What did your site serve ?
By "my sites" I think he meant sites that he uses.
Im not very clever am I ?
He could've worded it better.
I thought it was a site he personally hosted at first.
I just realized that wasn't the case.
No i thought the same
I thought the same thing too
tech minded vs consumer minded tbh
Nah it was the wording, I thought the same as you and I’m like well smort
Linux ISOs
I just got this same thing on my pc. I changed my DNS IPv4 server to 9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112 and IPv6 to 2620:fe::fe and 2620:fe::fe:10. My sites are back in action! Good luck
I tried this and it didn't work at all for me, any idea what might be going wrong?
Did you reboot your PC?
Yes, rebooted after each DNS change and still get the message, dosen't seem to solve it, used the checker on quad9 to make sure I was on their DNS too.
any updates?
That sounds super complicated. Wouldn’t a vpn set to a country that isn’t the UK work too?
I know next to nothing about technology.
That is not complicated, probably one of the easier network settings to change.
You only need to change DNS which is quick and only needed to do once. Using VPN means all your internet traffic will be routed through remote server and will change your IP address. It also decreases your internet speed while changing DNS doesn't.
So DNS is another way to make your internet appear like it’s coming from a different country? Does it make piracy safe without a vpn?
Or is there cons to go along with those pros?
No. DNS has nothing to do with your IP or your location. It just changes the service which translates website domain to an IP address.
No, DNS is at the core of the internet. Without it, Google wouldn't be google.com. It would be something like 149.42.69.252 or worse an ipv6 address instead
That clears it up. Not complicated at all lol.
Soo what changing your DNS does? Google.com is still google.com when you switch to another dns. So i guess your attributes change but not your IP and how is it useful in terms of web stuff?
Local governments may have mandates to block certain websites and they do this by having your local ISP add the site to their DNS blocklist.
Now, the DNS is responsible for translating the text you type in to the numerical IP address of the website.
What this means is that if say, you type "YouTube.com" into your browser, that search request goes to your local ISPs DNS server and returns back the routing instructions for your browser to access YouTube.
Now, if for some reason they want to block YouTube, when you send the request, you will instead get sent either a null pointer so that nothing comes up or it will redirect to an anti piracy screen
What setting your DNS to another provider does is that now instead of asking your local ISP for the routing instructions, you're now asking a service that is free from your local government mandates and so can return the proper instructions.
I hope I explained that well enough 😅
That was quite interesting! So do i get it correctly that if i change my dns then my internet provider will not ever know that i requested youtube page and won't know i watched some videos due to it?
And provider can still see that use internet, just doesn't understand what for?
They will still know what you're searching as the data is still being parsed through them, you're just not asking them directly for the information.
But a custom DNS combined with a good VPN is excellent at obfuscating your data.
I like to think of data as a vehicle with authorities in helicopters: - the road is the internet - your destination is the website you're looking for - a VPN is a tunnel system covering the roads (covering you from the helis) - a DNS server is just your navigation, which depending on which system you use, has different information available, but does nothing to hide what you're doing
I see, nice example! Thank you very much. I'm no pro in this waters so while kinda understanding what vpn does and what it's for i had no clue why would i need a dns. There are yet proxies which is another story and I'll have to find out what they do and why they are jot so commonly used nowadays
where is OP when we need him LMAO? We're asking for more infos and ofc he's nowhere to be found.
It's a real fucker as most of the fmhy stream sources appear to have been added to the uk government blocklist and/or have appeared on one of lumen's dmca requests (which is what the 'authority' link goes to).
From the sites i used that have been affected it looks like the ones with live tv streams (sport/music etc) have been mainly targeted in this round of additions, there's another couple i had bookmarked as backups which don't, which are (currently) fine, though i don't expect that to last given i found them through fmhy.
Having a repository of sources is great until the people policing those sources find the repository, which might have been what happened given how many are blocked or unresponsive.
Also...
Error 451. Lampshading censorship by referencing a book about censorship. <golf clap>
Options?
Vpn. And hope that the sites allow that and/or the stream sources they're using allow that.
Try to find a clone or copy of the sites you were using that currently aren't on the list, as per usual.
pi hole with dns unbound
I found hdtodayz.to recently and it got banned within 1 week if using it's so frustrating
[removed]
If you find another HDtoday clone of the same quality please let me know
just one more reason cloudflare is absolute shit
Just browse the wiki links until a site works.
For some reason I can't access it from Ireland, fml.
What site?
Just checked and works fine in Netherlands. Im gonna pirate even more now
Yeah it works with vpn it's a court order for UK that's why it's not working
I'm also in Ireland, it's working for me atm
It's also ISP related my ISP blocks it but different browsers it's good but since cloud flare its VPN only until the site stops using it
Same thing happenining to me in Ireland
The sites load through a VPN but the videos don't actually play, comes up with an error code
Is anything still working? all my old reliables are gone
Can confirm these sites will load with vpn but none of the videos work
guys my food is getting cold, can someone give me a working website already?
I just switched browsers. They also managed to block my "work" site, Prolific, but switching browsers also fixed that. (I'm retired, and this is my personal money.)
Its always the companies that want to control everything that get these orders,I get it the have IP to protect but I think they could go about it in a different way and make more consumer friendly choices and that would do a lot toward that goodwill they are so despiraty seeking
Omg i just got this notice when i tried to open flixbaba just now rip 😔🪦
rip ymovies
I keep telling people not to use cloudflare
well, it's not really up to people browsing these sites. it's implemented by the host. unless you're recommending people make an attempt at boycotting cloudflare? which....why? cloudflare is a good way to protect a website/ server.
cloudflare has massive privacy issues. think of every site you visit, how many of them use cloudflare and tell you or even those that dont tell you. you really think theyre not keeping track and selling ALL of that data, tied to IPs, tied to all sorts of browser fingerprints?
fair, centralization of data is bad for privacy and security. what's the alternative to encountering cloudflare? Just blocking their domains? would that make browsing the internet a hassle? I'm genuinely asking, it seems impossible to avoid.
sadly its next to impossible from what i can tell. i think you can block their IPs and domains, and disabling javascript definitely helps but with that you massively decrease site compatibility on the modern shit web
still not perfect, but i suggest librewolf and a trustworthy vpn. at least there you can minimize/alter many of your fingerprints (canvasblocker i recommend adding if librewolf doesnt include it already), and on an IP thats not your home one you get mixed in with even more of the public
you still end up tracked / logged / profiled / captcha-hell'ed by cloudflare like usual but at least with this its less of a unique pinpoint on you
Why not?
nothing got nuked , get a vpn your getting censored by cloudflare , or use another DNS and dont use their fake vpn called warp.
The website is using Cloudflare's CDN, which can't be circumvented as long as the website is forcing it.
Which one is it ? cause seems op was / is using cloudflare DNS.
What do you mean "which one?"
Website.
I don't know, but it doesn't matter, because the message clearly states that it's using Cloudflare's CDN. This has nothing to do with DNS, at least not directly. You could maybe circumvent Cloudflare if you would use the IP address of the website instead of the domain, but if you're using Cloudflare for your website you usually want to block traffic that doesn't go via Cloudflare, because you want to avoid traffic that doesn't make use of the security and performance benefits.
it can be circumvented, the site is only being blocked by cloudflare for visitors within the UK.
No. Even if you're using a VPN for getting access to the website, you're still not circumventing Cloudflare's CDN, merely their geo-blocking.
Keep downvoting me, that doesn't make it any more true. When you're using a VPN you're still going through CF's CDN, just from somewhere else. Downvoting my comment just means you have no idea on the matter.
...yeah?
kinda the whole point is to get around the geoblocking???
Nobody said you could get around cloudflare entirely with a vpn. The top comment said not to use "Cloudflare Warp" which is a consumer product unrelated to the cdn/NS services websites sue
OP literally said
Which simply doesn't make any sense in this case.
Can you elaborate on warp being a fake vpn?
Warp is more a transparent proxy than anything else , it doesnt provide encryption nor privacy and neither a censor free internet as you see.
That’s a lie. Yes it’s more transparent, but WARP works on the WireGuard protocol which encrypts by default. You can even manually generate a WARP WireGuard config that works with WireGuard without the WARP application.
Other than the encryption and privacy, does it essentially work the same way as vpn?
It is a VPN. It has encryption and privacy, just not the kind of VPN you pirate with. You can read about it here, https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-warp-plus/
what would you recommend?
A actual paid vpn one of the good ones , and a better dns for while you not using the vpn.
lets assume i have no money, then what
VPNs are very cheap. Like 70 bucks for 2 years. Incredibly worth it. Do you not make your own money yet?
Buy the cheapest you can get which is likely windscribe monthly build your plan starts from 2 per month no yearly payment.
Just giving all your data to a "free " service shouldn't be an option.
Then save the pennies to pay for a paid one, is it really worth giving all your data for the pennies a paid one actually costs?

That has nothing to do with privacy
Which DNS to use ?
ControlID , a quad9 , Adguards DNS , DNS0EU , Mullvad DNS , one of the safe ones you know.
Quad9 or OpenDNS.
[removed]
9.9.9.9 for Quad9 and 208.67.222.222 for OpenDNS. Quad9 is the best, most private and most recommendable option in most cases, but in some regions OpenDNS might be faster and more reliable.
ControlD
Quad 9 is my opinion the go to for DNS or even better, use Pihole or even even better, a recursive DNS like UnboundDNS (opinion).
wdym? warp isn't a fake VPN
Warp is more a transparent proxy than anything else , it doesnt provide encryption nor privacy and neither a censor free internet as you see.
WARP is a VPN, just not in the sense /r/piracy is used to. It uses WireGuard. It does provide encryption and privacy.

Edit: They clearly don't know what they're talking about. They don't understand DNS and what a CDN is. Then they blocked me after I corrected them on WARP being a VPN. What a softee 🤣
I don't know what you're expecting, but it's very much a cpn by definition and uses wireguard.
edit: this guy blocked me point and laugh
To me warp is better than an actual vpn because it doesn't change my country but still lets me access websites banned in my country, it's fast and free, and it has a quick settings tile on my phone.
