The Pirate bay UK block Virgin media workaround?
If like me you have virgin media and today found that you couldn't visit the pirate bay because it's been blocked, well here's a workaround. This worked for me, if you have an iPhone 4S this will work. Make sure you disconnect your laptop or PC from your virgin connection, then disconnect your iPhones wifi. Then make your 4S a hotspot and then connect your laptop or PC to it. Now you can go to the pirate bay using your phones 3G, download the torrent files you want and then when your done reconnect your laptop or PC and then open the torrent file and it will download. This works because the trackers have not been blocked. I did this today with my iPhone 4S using my MacBook pro. I don't know if android phones offer hotspot services to but check if you have a droid phone.

There are plenty of reliable VPN providers out there that will give you a good level of privacy / encryption for secure browsing. Always best to use one with different country servers. Also good for downloading torrents anonymously and opening up blocked or restricted site.

I have made an app for Android which automatically detects working TPB proxies and uses this to circumvent censorship and provide access to TPB for people in the UK.

An even simpler way of getting onto pirate bay with Virgin media as you ISP is to use a proxy site.

heres how to connect on VM
use this link https://tpb.pirateparty.org.uk/ (as previously posted I think they may block this though)
if this fails try these steps
1. go here http://www.freewebproxy.net/
2. type in http://thepiratebay.se/ or 194.71.107.15
3. thats it now you can download your LEGAL files ;¬)

I heard that this action of BPI brought 12 million more users to The Pirate Bay. Everyone used VPN or proxy to bypass this barrier and they succeed.

Im on BT so i can still access tpb for the moment. But if you used a meta search like http://torrentz.eu/ could you access tpb through that?
