Unless you have been living under a rock or have no interest in pornographic content whatsoever, you would not have realized that the Department of Telecom has blocked countless pornographic websites in India. There was no real announcement as to when the websites were blocked by the government of India so there is no actual date when these sites became inaccessible. However, when you simply try and key in the URL, you will notice that popular websites such as Xvideos and Pornhub have been blocked, leaving Indians searching for their fix of porn scratching their head in disbelief; since most of those who are trying to access these sites are of legal age, that is, over the age of 21.

While many people may condemn this moral policing by the Indian government, we are sure that they have their reasons for restricting viewership to these sites.

But if you’re a rebel and still want your regular dose of porn, here are a few tips to help ease out your hunt:

1) The first one is a fairly simple method and all you need to do is merely use HTTPS in the URL instead of HTTP. This trick conceals the name of the banned site as it encrypts the entire web address. This allows you to easily access restricted content despite them being blocked by Internet service providers (ISP). Interestingly, many top pornographic websites such as Xvideos, Pornhub and RARBG use HTTPS and can be easily accessed using this minor trick.

2) If for whatever reason the first option doesn’t work (which in all likelihood it won’t) then the second trick you can use is a Google DNS server or a Cloudflare DNS (which is the world’s fastest DNS). This allows you to bypass the DNS servers used by ISPs as it can be altered by heading into your computer’s network settings.

3) Use of Firefox to watch porn is really helpful as you can employ add-ons such as HTTPS Everywhere. Apart from this, Firefox also gives support to DNS over HTTPS which is really helpful. By taking advantage of this feature, it also goes some way in unblocking blocked websites. However, the default setting is turned off (0) and to activate it, you will need to go to About:Config and network settings.

4) Apart from Firefox, using a browser like Opera can also help you access porn websites since it comes with an in-built VPN that can be easily setup.

5) Using a VPN service is the number one go-to method for accessing pornographic content in India and hosts like ExpressVPN or SurfVPN are some of the most popular ones out there.

6) Next up is TOR browser and over the course of the last few years, using a TOR client has become extremely easy to navigate through. With that being said, using a TOR service has its shortcomings and the major pitfall is the speed as it is extremely slow due to the fact that web traffic navigates through various nodes.

7) And lastly, the use of mirror sites can help you get access to porn and there are new ones surfacing on a regular basis. This has to be found though and to access it, you have to do a bit of searching which may ruin the mood.
