Censorship
The Aussy Government has decided to cock block what they call Pirate Sites.
I thought a VPN would get around this but sadly the torrent site I'm trying to access is still blocked. Does anyone know why a VPN won't work to unblock the site? I thought it disguised my location but apparently not. |

Also, if you want to give me a site or two you have been blocked from, I'll log onto an Aus server with my VPN and tell you if it let me through. |

pure vpn not sure about any others as i tend to delete programs that don't work as expected. here is just one link that is blocked though there are plenty of torrent sites that still work. Hopefully once the expensive add campaign runs down they will lose interest. http://1337x.to/ gets me this http://blocked.wbroadband.net.au/ |

OK, so I attempted to log on to https://1337x.to/ with my VPN's Australia servers, one in Sydney the other located in Melbourne.
The Sydney server wouldn't connect because the 1337x site has blocked the IP range from there - something that does happen with VPNs. I was able to log onto it through the Melbourne server with no issues at all, so Australia-based VPN servers are quite capable of masking and encrypting sufficiently well to defeat the block. |
