Firefox Add-On Bypasses SOPA DNS Blocking [View all]

http://torrentfreak.com/firefox-add-on-bypasses-sopa-dns-blocking-111220/

The pending Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) continues to inspire opponents to come up with creative solutions to circumvent it.

A new anti-SOPA add-on for Firefox, titled “DeSopa,” is such a counter measure.

When installed, users can click a single button to resolve a blocked domain via foreign DNS servers, bypassing all domestic DNS blockades and allowing the user to browse the site though the bare IP-address (if supported).
