TPB still works for me. Can you provide an example DNS for a site that's difficult to find a DNS server that will give you the IP address? Barring that, could you explain the type of content that is censored this way? I currently use Google's DNS service. If they censor known malware URLs I'd be happy with that. I'm not sure if there's other types of sites I'd like them to filter.
Some DNS servers will show you a page about copyright infringement instead of TPB. Years ago, some German DNS servers were null-routing Nazi stuff. The FBI sometimes takes down sites through DNS spoofing aka cache poisoning. But normally, they go after root nameservers. In 2014, the Turkish government banned Twitter and YouTube through DNS cache poisoning: http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2014/03/googles-pub...
