Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I really hope providers tell the governments/companies to fuck off... Here in Spain, they started IP blocking Cloudflare IPs because of legal demands by a football association (LaLiga), to prevent people from watching matches via IPTV... And blocking a lot of legal sites in the process.

I didn't even notice until I tried to use Heroic Games Launcher last weekend and I couldn't authenticate into EGS... turns out they block legendary.gl, so fuck me for trying to play Satisfactory. I couldn't make it work offline with Heroic, and by the time I added it to Steam with its custom proton profile, moved the save files and started playing, I already had to go. Way to waste my evening.

But hey! My server running a stack of arrs keeps working fine, and you can just use a VPN if you want to watch your football, so pirates are the least inconvenienced users :)))

Yet another example of media conglomerates and sympathetic governments helping increase the awareness and sophistication of piracy while doing almost nothing to prevent it. Good job guys! Slow Clap

Don't forget that you can host your own DNS resolver instead of relying on public DNS servers.

The part that I find interesting is that they want to redirect the domains somewhere else.

Whats to stop a country from making one of these orders, along with a gag order, to redirect traffic from an adversarial nation webpage to something they're hosting? Effectively creating a nationwide phishing attack
