Internet users in India using Airtel Broadband and Reliance Broadband service must have recently noticed that both these ISP’s have blocked a majority of popular torrent sites in India since last night (May, 16th). Besides the torrent sites and illegal file sharing services, these leading internet service providers have also blocked access to sites such as xmarks.com, pastebin.com which is a sort of surprise as these services don’t serve any copyrighted or infringing content. According to Medianama, the reason behind this severe block is a ‘court ban’, following a John Doe order taken by Copyright Labs, Chennai, to prevent piracy of Tamil Films – Dhammu (Tamil) and 3 (Telugu).
Upon visiting any of these below listed websites on Airtel or Reliance Internet, you will see the following message “Access to this site has been blocked as per Court Orders”. On the contrary, BSNL and MTNL users are reporting that they’re able to access all the blocked sites easily. We’re not sure but this ban seems region specific as some users are able to access the banned sites in India on the above mentioned private ISP’s.
List of Sites blocked in India -
- Vimeo.com
- DailyMotion.com
- Xmarks.com
- Pastebin.com
Torrent sites -
- Isohunt.com
- thepiratebay.org | thepiratebay.se
- torrentz.eu
- kat.ph
- torlock.com
- kickasstorrents.com
- extratorrent.com

It’s certain that hundreds of thousands of people all over India are trying to open these torrent sites and other sites, which is impossible. However, there are hacks to access such restricted sites using a proxy or VPN, though that’s not suitable for everyone. Fortunately, we’ve succeeded in accessing these sites using a simple and easiest trick!
How to Access Blocked sites on Airtel/Reliance -
By implementing https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) in place of the usual http, you can access most of the popular torrent sites like thepiratebay, isohunt, torrentz, kickasstorrrent and clean site like Xmarks. We’ve tried this trick on Airtel ISP and it’s working perfectly as on May 17th, 1:15 PM (IST). Links below:
