Due to a court decision made by ABTA, which stands for Brazilian Association of Cable TV, some sites like MEGA, alfastream, oload, etc are now blocked.
By the way, it's worth reminding this is only effective in São Paulo.
The ISPs that were ordered to do that were Claro, Vivo, Oi and Algar Telecom. If you are using the other big ISP like NET or TIM then you're good,
But if you are using the ISPs listed above, you'd better not be using claro, otherwise you'll need a VPN..

but if you are using Vivo (Not sure about others), just change your DNS!
https://www.opennic.org/ https://1.1.1.1/ https://www.gigadns.com.br brazilian DNS https://www.opendns.com/ And Google's DNS 8.8.8.8 8.4.4.8
>Whats the point?
Pretty much a reminder that their DNS may be stopping you from accessing some sites without you being aware of it.
>>600014 They were ordered to do so by the court, they don't really care about piracy but they have been trying to push data caps into our broadband internet since 2013
