I’m trying to figure how to get around the ISP piracy detection. (I wanted to pirate Daria to get a specific voiceline for a SRB2Kart Daria mod.)

Last time I pirated Daria; my ISP found out. (In hindsight it seemed obvious; viacom is a copyright douchebag; I was utilizing torrents; and I didn’t use tor.) Fortunately, I use a different network (AT&T (ugh)) instead of comcast.

    Dnscrypt and DNS over HTTPS prevents your ISP from tampering with your DNS requests, but it does not prevent them from seeing which domain names you are connecting to, because of Server Name Identification. Widespread adoption of Encrypted Server Name Identification mainly comes down to server operators, many of whom won’t ever implement it (because it’s a pain in the ass to setup, and relatively little gain for the average webmaster)

      Yes however that would require them to resolve every IP you’re connecting to even if you are not making requests to their DNS servers. I doubt any ISP is going to devote resources to logging all that traffic if there’s no incentive for them to do so.

      Maybe some ISPs that are also owned by major media producers like time warner and the like might think to do something like that, but I suspect its to punish heavy users rather than uphold their parent companies intellectual property.
