Vietnam’s Pirate Site Blocklist Quietly Adds Torrent Sites
In January 2024, Vietnamese authorities expanded their anti-piracy efforts by blocking several prominent torrent sites, including NYAA.si, TorrentGalaxy, 1337x, and FitGirl-Repacks. This action, coordinated with local ISPs, aims to curb unauthorized content distribution. Users reported encountering access issues, with some sites redirecting to localhost addresses, effectively nullifying connections. While the government has not publicly detailed these measures, discussions on local forums confirm the increased blocking activity. This initiative reflects Vietnam’s ongoing commitment to strengthening copyright enforcement and addressing international concerns regarding online piracy. (TorrentFreak)
