Hi guys, i recently got Reliance Broadband connection. 25gb-12mbps and later 1mbps plan. Every thing was going great, getting great speed but now today when i tried to open piratebay or kat the message appears as "This site has been blocked as per instructions from the department of telecom"

Anyone facing similar problem? Any solution

Dont worry dudes..

It is only blocked in india! :D

that means...use Proxy sites and change your ip to somewhere else and browse torrent sites!

Happy Torrenting! :D

I have heard about TOR....
How does it work? Is it a browser?

Tor Project: Anonymity Online

In simple words, it's like a proxy software. But works in different way.

Demonoid isn't blocked.:-?. And using opera browser you can use piratebay too.
Reliance and the government would need to come up with something better.:-D

Go the Control Panel.

Click Network and Internet, then Network and Sharing Center, and click Change adapter settings.

Select the connection for which you want to configure Google Public DNS.

Select the Networking tab. Under This connection uses the following items, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click Properties.

Click Advanced and select the DNS tab.

Select Use the following DNS server addresses.

Put in these addresses

IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4.[/B]

Using BSNL. None of the sites are blocked. :-D

I guess this time the laziness of the BSNL employees are to my advantage. :p
