Cloudflare Puts Pirate Sites on New IP Addresses, Avoids Cogent Blockade
Found on Torrentfreak on Friday, 17 February 2017
Last week the news broke that Cogent, which operates one of the largest Internet backbone networks, blackholed IP-addresses that were linked to several notorious sites including The Pirate Bay.
It seems likely that the change of IP-addresses is an intentional response from Cloudflare to bypass the blocking. The company has a reputation of fighting overreach and keeping its subscribers online so that it would be fitting.
Cogent only has one job: to keep the data flowing. There is no room for dubious vigilante justice by plaing Internet police.
