Block by ΕΠΠΠΙ. Change DNS and you will see it all

It seems that EDPPI has not learned from its mistakes. He made a decision again to "close" Subs4free.com along with other well-known websites, but users with a slight change in DNS still see them.

The cat-mouse online game between the Commission for the Notification of Internet Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights (EDPPI) and those who possess a little basic internet knowledge continues unabated from 2018 until today.

And obviously, as we had written in 2018, the people of EDPPI are not technicians or do not have a technical consultant or can not do more than what they have already done or are making fun of us.

Because only "closing" can not be said new command to IPS to deny access on 38 websites, with indicative names subs4free, yify, thepiratebay, xrisoi, gamatotv, magico, 1337x and others.

Η The same effort was made in 2018 and then the response of these websites came after a day and urged users to use vpn or change dns. Indeed, both of these solutions have worked and still work and even those who have tried it find that they can see the illegal websites again.

But what are DNS and why do these websites play again with such a simple and free solution? The of the most illegal sites are located in countries where piracy is allowed. Furthermore, these countries as well as the IP of the sites in question, are not visible to users (and to the people of EDPPI) because the signal first passes through Cloudflare's intermediate servers and is hidden. Cloudflare service as well as all these related services like Cloudways, BelugaCDN, MaxCDN, Akamai, Incapsoula and a bunch CDN Services, are intended to protect sites from DDOS attacks but without hosting any of their data, only temporary copies of their actual web pages.

So as long as the illegal sites hide their real IP and are hosted in free sites they are not in danger of actually closing. To enter these sites you need to know their domain name (ie their name). By typing it, your computer asks your provider to connect to it, for example with Subs4free. The provider in turn asks the respective global servers to route the request to the IP of Subs4free. From there, there are other procedures that do not concern us at the moment as our issue is that, the provider simply cuts your request seeing that you are looking for a site banned by the EDPPI. In turn, EDPPI has not asked anyone else to close the connection, but only left tips for Cloudflare, without any legal intervention.

As you understand, all you have to do is bypass the connection request from your provider to the illegal site and submit it directly to one of the global servers designed to match domain names and IPs, and the ban is over.

Who you ask to connect you to Subs4free is regulated by DNS. You can either configure the DNS of your respective operating system (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android) or, in order not to do the same task over and over again, configure the DNS of your router. And so anyone who connects to your router, either wired with an ethernet cable, or wirelessly with wifi, even your neighbor who steals your signal and you haven't noticed, will be able to see Subs4free or Yify or 1337x normally. Even with your cell phone as long as you are at home, you will not have one , since it connects wirelessly to your router.

Enter at of your router from a browser by typing its internal IP, which is usually 192.168.1.1 (see the manual of your router which is yours) and navigate through its menu until you find the DNS settings

When you find them just change the DNS for both IPv4 and IPv6. For IPv4 go to the corresponding menu item (you can also see it as pure DNS, without the IPv4 indication) and deselect the automatic detection of DNS. Automatic detection simply takes you to your provider. Ask to set the DNS Manually (Set DNS Manualy) in both the DNS2 and DNS1 fields (can list them as primary and alternate DNS) and enter the IPs 2 and 8.8.8.8 respectively correspond to Google. Alternatively you can put 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 corresponding to Cloudflare.

Then go and change the DNS for IPv6. Uncheck the automatic DNS configuration, click the manual configuration and replace them with 2001: 4860: 4860: 0: 0: 0: 0: 8888 and 2001: 4860: 4860: 0: 0: 0: 0: 8844 if Do you want to be with Google or 2606: 4700: 4700 :: 1111 and 2606: 4700: 4700 :: 1001 if you want to go with Cloudflare.

Now as far as what we said above, that your neighbor "steals" wifi, there are two solutions. Either you let him have it too since he has no money for his (or is his down temporarily) either you take care to read this iguru article.

  1. It just seems that with the DNS of Google and Clouflare, we do not bypass the EDPPI.
    OpenDNS does not play either.
    (all this for a specific site that played until a few days ago)
