    This ‘secrecy’ is not an oversight but a feature that’s codified in the agreement between rightsholders and Internet providers.

    Well this setup seems perfectly secure and not at all susceptible to malicious actors.

    Disappointing, Germany. How can we trust you to find the best pirate sites when not even thepiratebay.org is on the list?

      They don’t block torrents because they like to watch people connect to the nodes and then sue them.

      It’s always better to use onion routing.

          I2P could be a suitable alternative for this. Although it is rather slow it still works and you dont have to worry about beeing exposed

            Pretty much like the original reason why napster has been created. It could resume downloads which in the times of early internet explorer wasn’t that guaranteed

          The government is also not blocking any sites. Only like 5 ISPs are in the CUII. Many people are not even affected

      After a quick butchers at the list, I think they are going after streaming sites rather than torrent sites per se.

      usage of public torrent tracker in germany is almost non-existent
      the fear of getting sued by copyright laywers is pretty high

    So these are blocked on a DNS Level? So just using a different DNS (like 9.9.9.9 or 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) will get around this „block“

      From the article

      To address the alleged censorship part, the site also links to various options available to the public to circumvent the blocking efforts. This includes switching to third party DNS resolvers.
