h33t blocked? thepiratebay blocked? how to circumvent a site block

[lacadaemon]

TIL we are blocked in Sri Lanka, it is time to start a topic on how to circumvent a torrent site block

if h33t is blocked in your country then use one of these options:

- Use Opera Web Browser

always works with "turbo" mode on (it is a web proxy embedded into the Opera Browser)

get Opera here http://www.opera.com/browser/

- VPN

always works but costs you a monthly fee

- Mafiaafire Piratebay Dancing Firefox Add-on

mixed reviews but should work ok

ignore the Piratebay in the title, this Firefox add-on works for all blocked sites

get it here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mafiaafire-piratebay-dancing/

- Free Web Proxy

works but may be slow

find a good proxy here http://proxy.org/

- Public DNS

may or may not work

googles DNS details (excellent upgrade to any system regardless of purpose) https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/

also great alternative http://www.opendns.com/

- Change your ISP

change your internet service provider (ISP) to a good one that does not block sites. ask them first!
