More concerned about the lack of https. Pirate bay might be legal in your country, but that doesn't mean you want snoopers logging your porn searches.

Or maybe they could use [Node.js core DNS](https://nodejs.org/api/dns.html#dns_dns_setservers_servers) module to resolve the domain, setting something like [censurfridns](http://www.censurfridns.dk/) as a temporary server.

I think this module is very immoral, however, so I'm not going to contribute...

Why do you think it's immoral?

Yea I'm wondering this too.

Now, I know that DNS can be a little bit scary when you dig into the details, and sure, it can be a little verbose, but it's not so bad that it's immoral!

> This doesn't work for me, because http://thepiratebay.se is hardcoded in the code and that mirror is blocked in my location. I filed an issue.

Can't you fix that with an entry in your /etc/hosts file ?

The way piratebay blocks are done round my neck of the woods, it's blocked at the IP layer, not just DNS. Hosts file hackery doesn't help.

That sucks. You need a vpn then.
