    TorrentGalaxy is up, but if you can’t open it maybe your country has DNS censorship.

    Just change your DNS servers to something like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 (Cloudflare DNS and Google DNS respectively).

    You can change your DNS from either your computer settings or your router (the latter is recommended because it applies to all connected devices).

      It always makes me chuckle a bit how internet censorship (at least in western countries and on a personal level (school and work networks excluded)) is almost always just done through DNS. I mean I’m sure not going to be the one to tell them how laughably ineffective that is, but it’s just funny.

        Most ISPs I have seen these days actually block stuff properly. DNS hacks are no longer sufficient. Luckily VPNs are cheap these days.
