News Our website has been blocked by the oppressive Australian Government, here's how to go around it!

[M]

So we've been told that we've been blocked by the Australian government along with many other sites like 4chan and 8chan. This level of censorship is insane, especially from a first world country like Australia. Anyways, I will list many ways to get around this block. Anyone that has contact with any member from Australia please tell them about these methods to circumvent this website blocking:

Changing your DNS on Windows

One of the easiest ways to get around this block is by changing your DNS. Here's how you do that.

• Hit Start and type Network Status (or right-click on your Wi-Fi icon and pick Open Network and Internet settings).
• Click on Change Adapter Settings.
• Right-click on your active network connection, then hit Properties.
• Left-click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and hit Properties. (If you use IPv6, change that one also/instead.)
• Click on "Use the following DNS server addresses:" and type in both of the following public DNS server addresses: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
• The above DNS servers are GoogleDNS servers.

Changing your DNS on Mac

• System Preferences
• Network
• Click Advanced.
• Click the DNS tab
• Click the little + sign at the lower left to add a new DNS server
• Type in the numbers of a public DNS server (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
• Click OK
• Click Apply

Honestly you guys should be impressed that you are starting to get government attention. I feel so bad for people in Australia though. I truly hate censorship, it is so patronizing.

 

[Davy]

wait a sec, how are aussies going to see this if they are blocked

I don't know if I like the idea of getting the government's attention. It's not something we need here. It's bad enough we have to live the way they want us too.

I knew this would happen. 4chan and 8chan were just the beginning.

I would also recommend the Soft Ether VPN https://www.vpngate.net/en/download.aspx. It is completely free and respectable, from a university in Japan.

 

[color_me_gone]

That is really, really disappointing!

 

[EddieAllenPoe]

Crikey. I'm starting to believe the adage "Guns don't kill people. People kill people." The same can be said about knowledge of suicide methods. If access to guns or knowledge were deadly in themselves, I'd already be dead.

I can at least understand 8chan getting banned but either way not a big fan of censorship for the sake of censorship either.

 

[pinkblanket55]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!! TOR still working...........

 

[pinkblanket55]

This really sux even for us already on here because we'll have fewer Aussie's we can connect with. What can we do? Is there a different site where we could list the work around instructions? Clutching at straws.........

 

[retarddd]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!! TOR still working...........

TOR is technically similar to a VPN, that's probvaly the reason you can still access it

 

[Davy]

It might be worth putting up the CloudFlare DNS servers (1.1.1.1), (1.0.0.1), it's a bit faster for me.
They've actually banned quite a lot of sites, our New Zealand buddies also have bans as well.

Might Alex Jones and David Icke be right? We are getting closer towards a one world totalitarian government.

 

[color_me_gone]

getting closer towards a one world totalitarian government

You mean we are not already there???

 

[Addy92]

FYI you can do this on mobile too. Through settings mobile networks. Hell Google DNS is quicker anyway. So everyone should be doing this.

Australia is desperately trying to cut costs as they have a national healthcare system. I'm assuming they don't want to cough up for psych visits or the medical fallout from failed ctb attempts.

Case in point, did you know a pack of cigarettes costs $20 US in Australia?

 

[RRH]

I'm very disappointed our government have taken this action, but not at all surprised.

Seems I'm lucky I'm still able to access the site unrestricted without a VPN.

Case in point, did you know a pack of cigarettes costs $20 US in Australia?

Closer to $30 USD if you buy a packet of 40 like I do. Each cigarette costs more than a dollar. Definitely a good incentive to quit, but I enjoy smoking too much and don't have any other vices.

What does Australia and China got in common? Censorship!

 

[DeepMind]

I saved the instructions. Australia will probably just be the beginning.

 

[Hennessy]

I regard censorship as a crime against humanity! Doesn't matter who is doing it or for whatever reason! Censorship is wrong!

Whenever somebody starts to controll other peoples information it's just shamefull!

There is no difference between Australia and China!

This is my private message to the Australian government: FUCK YOU! GO TO HELL!

 

[Walilamdzi]

It seems quieter, I hope it doesn't get blocked in other places.

Totalitarian worldwide control over speech, thoughts, knowledge, information, here we come

 

[Ruffian]

To my Australian brothers and sisters - fight the good fight I'm not religious, just spiritual, and you are in my thoughts and prayers. There must be others there who believe in choice. You just haven't found them. I'm sure every country is different, so be careful with who you talk to.

I am not very knowledgeable about different countries and their governments, but I do know a lot of things that are ok in the states are not ok down under. Even though the rat race here is ridiculous, I'm glad for the freedoms we do have.

 

[CornerE]

Didn't Australia allow assisted suicide for elders and the terminally ill ?!
I know it doesn't mean they are pro-choice .
Hell , they're just trying to cut off the expenses of their healthcare system .

But still , as a secular progressive country that's among very few countries that allow merciful euthanasia , they're coming off as hypocrites .

 

[turbofly3ddeath]

Still working without a vpn for me? weird.

 

[Help_Me]

SS is not blocked in my country, but unfortunately dozens of other forums are. I recommend everyone to always have some kind of "starter pack" at hand while searching the web : List of proxy servers,VPN, Tor browser e.t.c. F*** government and their insane censorship.

 

[Xaphous]

They banned Ickey boy too

 

[Strumgewehr]

Might Alex Jones and David Icke be right? We are getting closer towards a one world totalitarian government.

Those guys are actors. They only tell you only half the truth so it's better not to trust them altogether. I hate being the bearer of bad news but we have been living in a one world totalitarian since the 1800s, and then it went full steam ahead after WWII. It's only from outside that English, Japanese, American, French government are different. From the inside they all answer to the same master. I won't say the name of the country or it's people that rule the world. Just know that they are pure evil masters of crookery with absolute zero empathy.

 

[EmotionlessWanderer]

And it won't be long until other countries come up with the same fascist idea. Earth really is turning into a shithole.

 

[Walilamdzi]

Is there anywhere on reddit people could go to discuss regrouping if similar things happen with other countries or if this gets taken down?
