**Sometimes, your ISP can spy on your web browsing activity when going onto piracy sites (despite the chance of this being slim). To prevent this, use a DNS that your ISP doesn't use. We recommend [AdGuard DNS](https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html) and [Quad9](https://www.quad9.net).**

**If a site is blocked or you can't access it, it can caused by your ISP or DNS Blocking the site. This can be fixed by using a DNS, Proxy, or a VPN.
