Changing DNS servers will not get around the UK ISP “adult content blocks” in my experience, but using a VPN will.

Generally it’s a good idea to disable ISP content blocking if you can, because they can cause all kinds of problems (slowdowns, false positives).

I can get around Sky Broadband's block on Libgen by just using Libgen's IP, for example.

How do they do that? IP Lists?

Probably TLS SNI inspection

Huh. I thought that was encrypted, but apparently we aren’t ESNI yet.
