8 Technical Methods That Make the PROTECT IP Act Useless

We’ve been running a series of guides that show just how easy it is to bi-pass general DNS censorship. It’s general DNS censorship that has been proposed in the PROTECT-IP Act among other things.

How to Defeat US DNS Censorship (Using Tor)

We’ve been running a series of guides discussing various ways of defeating censorship – particularly US DNS censorship.

How to Defeat US DNS Censorship (Using Your Hosts File)

How to Defeat US DNS Censorship (Using DNS Web Tools)

In our previous guide, we showed you how it is possible to defeat basic web censorship solely using things you already have on a Windows machine. Unfortunately, this might not always be successful, so we would like to show you a second way to obtain a server IP address that relies on tools available for


Guide: How to Circumvent US DNS Censorship (Obtaining Server IPs)

The PROTECT IP Act in the United States would block certain domains from responding if Hollywood decides you shouldn’t be permitted to view that website.
