Putlocker.is Back In Action By Bypassing The EuroDNS Blockade
World’s popular movie streaming website, Putlocker makes a comeback by bypassing EuroDNS blockhole
In February we had reported how the world’s most popular movie streaming website, Putlocker.is had been struggling against the authorities. It had put on a brave fight and shifted to a new domain, Putlocker.ch but even that fight didn’t last long. In the weeks that followed, Putlocker.ch domain was taken over by the registrar EuroDNS, who’ve pointed it to a 127.0.0.1 blackhole.
This hit the online movie viewers real bad. This can be judged by the fact that Putlocker.is and its alternate domain, Putlocker.ch has nearly 12 million monthly views and was ranked 252nd most-visited website on the Internet n its heydays. Putlocker is particularly popular in the United States, Canada, Australia and South Africa.
By the strange twist of fate, Putlocker.is seems to be back in action from yesterday. If you visit the Putlocker.is website, you will no longer get the ‘únable to load website’ message. Instead. the visitors are now redirected to a new domain, Putlockertv.is. The Whois records which till last week pointed to EuroDNS holding the domain now show Putlocker is back in control.
The admin team of Putlocker.is team somehow seems to have managed to bypass the DNS blackhole imposed by the registrar after a court ban. Torrent Freak, however, notes that Putlocker.is is now registered by the same admin who has control over Putlocker.ch. This is the “new” owner who took over the .is domain late last year after Putlocker.is was first banned.
Whatever the reason, online movie viewers can now enjoy viewing movies on the streaming website without a hitch until the authorities and media companies bring new blocks on them. If you are somehow unable to view Putlocker.is or its new domain Putlockertv.is, you can always refer our top 3 Putlocker alternative websites.
