A renewed attempt to introduce site blocking in the U.S. emerged in late January when U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D) introduced the Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act. The FADPA bill received the MPA's full support, and it now transpires that similar legislation is being prepared by U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R). A recent meeting to discuss the 'American Copyright Protection Act' was attended by Disney, Paramount, and Amazon, plus Google, YouTube, and Verizon.

If you don't have a VPN, it's time to fire one up. I'd suggest Mullvad or Windscribe.

since this is targeted at pirates, I'd actually stay away from mullvad since they got rid of port forwarding

I've never had an issue pirating anything with Mullvad.

IIRC port forwarding is more of a problem with seeding than leeching.

This, if you're present on any private trackers you really need the port forwarding feature.

Are the compatible with pihole? Last time I tried getting a VPN, setting up pihole on it was a nightmare.
