Why is the root tracker not working today? What is "Rutreker"? How to bypass the blocking of Rutreker? Using Third Party DNS

Now we will find out what “Rutreker” is. This Internet service has pleased many users of the World Wide Web for a long time. Unfortunately, it is no longer available in Russia. The government of the Russian Federation blocked the project. And there were reasons for that. Now we will study what “Rutreker” is, why it is needed and why access to it was closed. In addition, it would be nice to know some methods to circumvent this prohibition. Fortunately, such options exist. Albeit in small quantities.

Description

What is "Rutreker"? Probably everyone knows such sites as torrent trackers. On them you can download information at high speed: books, games, videos, films, programs and so on. Often, pirated and hacked versions of this or that software are posted on torrents. Nevertheless, users download all the data offered with great pleasure.

Rutreker was the largest torrent imaginable. It was famous for its reliability and quality of work. In addition, the speed of distributions here was the highest. It turns out that each user could download all the information he was interested in without any problems. But now Rutreker is closed. And this is not the first time he has been blocked. Why? Let's try to figure this out. And then we’ll see how we can bypass the blocking of this service.

Closing history

We figured out what “Rutreker” is. We can say that this is the main source of data for users. But, as already mentioned, it was recently blocked. Why?

The fact is that the government of the Russian Federation has identified frequent complaints from copyright holders about this service. That is, there is a lot of pirated software there. And piracy in Russia, as you know, is not welcome. Everyone should buy only licensed programs and software. This is the law.

Rutreker did not respond to numerous requests to remove all the content that was complained about. Users continued to download all information posted on the site. As a result, Rutreker is now closed. It was blocked as a site that encourages piracy and violates the laws of the country. This news excited users. After all, there is not and has never been a more reliable and high-quality torrent. What to do? Is Rutreker blocked forever? Yes, but there are several ways to get around this ban. What is it about?

Anonymizers

The first option does not always work. Rather, with a 90% probability it will not bring results from now on. We are talking about the use of so-called anonymizers. These are services that help you anonymously visit certain pages on the Internet. Including blocked ones.

In fact, find such a hosting and enter the address Rutreker.org in the appropriate field. Now you can click on "Login". Even though RuTracker is blocked, you will be able to visit the page. But, as already mentioned, this technique does not always work. Most likely, it will be of little use. If you managed to get to a blocked torrent tracker, rejoice. No? Then you will have to think further about how to bypass the blocking. "Rutreker" can be visited using other methods.

TOR

For example, a very popular technique is authorization through a special application. It's called Thor. It allows you to bypass blocking of almost any page. This means that Rutreker is worth trying to visit. This technique has the greatest chance of success.

Only working with this application requires certain knowledge. For example, an address in Tor that is used to log into Rutreker. Without it, the idea will not be realized. You can find out the required combination from users who have already worked with blocked RuTracker. Unfortunately, the government of the Russian Federation is trying to block all access to the torrent tracker. And that’s why the service addresses in Tor are constantly changing.

As soon as you receive the necessary data, run the program and insert the corresponding “inscription” into the “Address” line. Once you activate the transition, you will be taken to the desired page. That's all. There is nothing particularly difficult.

Mirrors

How to bypass Rutreker blocking? To be honest, you can try to use an old and already well-known technique - the so-called mirrors. These are peculiar duplicates of one or another site. When the original is blocked, you can access its copy. Rutreker also has such services. And there are a lot of them.

Your task is to find the “mirror” of the torrent. And then just enter the appropriate address in the browser and press Enter. You will be taken to the RuTracker page, or rather, to its 100% copy. Fully working. The problem is different, is the selected “mirror” blocked? Now in Russia they are trying with all their might to find and suppress this kind of services. This is not always possible, but it’s worth hurrying. Very soon, the option of mirror sites may lose its relevance. And the blocking of Rutreker will be final.

Extensions

In addition to the options already proposed, you can try to cheat a little. After all, on Windows, “Rutreker” can be opened using extensions and plugins specially installed in the browser. For example, pay attention to friGate.

This utility helps to remove blocking from most services in Russia and other countries. For example, with its help you can quickly and easily get to Flibusta. Which means it’s on RuTracker too. Download, install and go to the application settings. Specify the item "Proxy is always on" and then write the site Rutracker.org. Save your changes. Now you can log in to the site. But even here there are no guarantees that you will cope with the blocking.

Please note that each browser has its own similar utility or plugin. A complete list is difficult to find. For example, Proxy SwitchySharp is suitable for Chrome, and Turbo is suitable for Opera. In principle, friGate is considered a universal plugin. And working with him will not cause you much trouble. So you can use this method.

Surprise

Despite the fact that Rutreker is blocked, every user is able to bypass this “disappointment”. But here, as they say, you should rely only on your luck. Some gadgets allow you to surf the Internet for unknown reasons. No one can explain this phenomenon.

Most often, you can bypass the blocking from your tablet. The story with Dmitry Medvedev and Rutreker shocked users. He was able to access the blocked site using his tablet without any problems. And after this incident, users began to actively visit their usual Rutreker address from all the gadgets they have. On some models this can actually be done.

True, it is impossible to say exactly which ones. It's all a matter of luck and the assembly of the device system. But sometimes it is useful to know even about such incredible and rare cases. Maybe you will be lucky and you will be able to visit RuTracker from your gadget without any problems.

As we all heard, torrent tracker rutracker.org, was closed due to a violation of the copyrights of the copyright holders of information resources that were located there and were freely available. Soon, some options appeared to circumvent the ban and still get to the site. But then, attempts to get to the site in a new way were somehow stopped. Apparently someone took this matter seriously, but...

I would like to tell you about ways in which you can still access the site without any problems. Previously, with the help of so-called anonymizers, it was possible to get to this site, but times have changed and the accessibility of the site through this tool no longer works. But smart people found other ways. The first method is the Yandex browser turbo button. For example, by entering the domain name of the site in the address bar rutracker.org, information appears that access is limited.

But when you turn on the so-called turbo button, access to the tracker is provided without any restrictions. By the way, for those who are interested, the turbo button is needed for computers on which, let’s say, the Internet connection is slow. The button helps speed up page loading by reducing the amount of data.

If a rocket logo appears at the end of the address bar of the Yandex browser, then the turbo button is enabled.

And as you can see in the picture below, access to the site was restored thanks to the miracle button. Thanks to Yandex for a good browser.

Another option is even simpler, this site has a mirror that has no restrictions, and in order to access the site, simply enter in the address bar rutracker.cr and we rejoice.

ABOUTGive your opinion about this article, and of course, ask your questions if something suddenly goes wrong for you.

Thank you for your attention!

On January 25, 2015, all Internet providers were required to block user access to rutracker.org.

This only caused inconvenience for ordinary users and now they have to use a bypass to download torrents as before. Rutreker continues its work to this day. Only the method of entering it has changed.

rutracker.org is the most popular torrent tracker in Russia with a huge audience and a good reputation.

I'll show you how to access it from the most popular browsers:

  1. Google Chrome.
  2. Mozilla Firefox.
  3. Opera.

I will also demonstrate logging in from a mobile device. The easiest and fastest way is to use built-in extensions to bypass the blocking. They were created by the site administration and are absolutely safe. Now I'll show them.

In Google Chrome

I’ll immediately give you a link to the extension for Google Chrome. Just click install.

Then confirm the installation of the extension.

The extension has started working. Now you can go to the root tracker and then turn it off.


In Opera

There are 2 ways in opera. Follow the link and click Add to Opera.


Now, by clicking on the icon, you can turn the extension on and off.


You can also enable turbo mode, with its help you can also access the root tracker and some other blocked sites, but this does not always work.


Open root tracker in Mozilla Firefox

A similar method is used in Mozilla. Click on the link, you will be taken to the add-on page. Click Add to Firefox.


Then click install in the window that appears:

How to get to RuTracker, which has been blocked by Roskomnadzor since the beginning of this year? Continue reading this article and you will learn the three easiest and most effective ways to get into a closed torrent portal.

Browser plugins to bypass roottracker blocking

The fastest and most intuitive way for ordinary users is to install a browser plugin. This extension helps to replace the IP of your personal computer or phone. One click and RuTracker sees you as a guest with a foreign IP, politely letting you into its open spaces, although you are still sitting in your kitchen at home.
To do this, you don’t need to invent or search for anything. You only need one action - go to the official page https://dostup-rutracker.org/, where RuTracker administrators have collected plugins for all popular browsers and download the appropriate one.

  • Advantages: The speed of working with the site does not decrease.
  • It's absolutely legal! No one will come to your home with interrogation and turn off the Internet.

After you have installed the extension on your computer, you need to make sure that the plugin is enabled and functioning. If you still can’t get to the torrent, open the plugin settings and add the link https://rutracker.org/ to the list of allowed ones.

How to bypass roottracker blocking - anonymizers

Using Anonymouse will allow you to access almost any blocked resource, unless it is a secret Pentagon site, of course.
It works like a plugin - it hides your IP and location. However, in this case there is no need to download or configure anything. We go to an anonymizer site, for example, Chamaleon (http://cameleo.ru/), indicate the address of the page we want to go to and click “Forward!”

The most popular anonymizers:

  • Chamaleon (http://cameleo.ru/).
  • Anonymizer.RU (http://www.anonymizer.ru/).
  • NoBlockMe (http://noblockme.ru/).

How to bypass root tracker blocking via Tor browser

Another way to bypass RuTracker blocking that deserves attention is to use the unique Tor browser. The essence of the browser is to use a virtual network of servers connecting millions of computers around the world.
To get started, download the Tor browser for free from any non-malicious site (for example, http://tor-browser.ru/), and launch the Tor Browser Bundle utility, increasing the privacy of your Internet surfing. Your IP, as in the two previous methods, will be hidden, and incoming and outgoing traffic from your PC will be encrypted.


Bypass root tracker blocking on smartphones

In conclusion of the article, I would like to say a few words about bypassing the RuTracker blocking on modern smartphones. Let's consider two ways:

  • Using the traffic saving feature. To enable this mode, the browser on your smartphone must be one of the following: Chrome, Opera, UC browser, or Puffin Web Browser.
  • Using a VPN service . It works similar to plugins – it hides the smartphone’s IP. To do this, go to the Play Market or Google Play, download the application and install it.

The most popular for Android: Orbot Proxy bundled with Tor, CyberGhost, Psiphon.
The most popular for iOS: Browsec VPN, Free VPN Proxy by Betternet.

As is known, January 25, 2016 Roskomnadzor, based on the decision of the Moscow City Court “on the lifelong blocking of RuTracker.ORG on the territory of the Russian Federation,” ordered Russian providers to block access to the resource.

A lifetime block of Rutracker.org will not lead to the liquidation of the resource. It’s just that your providers have received an order to block access to RuTracker for their clients and, according to current legislation, they are obliged to do this.

Since the tracker is used by a huge number of users and many of you are little familiar with methods of bypassing restrictions, we have prepared an extended series of articles with examples and visual screenshots of how to do this!

Can anyone find out that I visited blocked resources?

Some plugins like Hola, Zenmate collect data about the websites you visit. And we do not recommend installing them in your browser.

Also, information about the sites you visit is stored in your browser history.

If you don't want the browser to save them, go to private mode.

Using Third Party DNS

Your provider's DNS servers may contain deliberately false domain to IP address mappings.

And first of all, when blocked, you need to change the DNS servers from those provided by your provider to public ones, for example, to Google Public DNS. If you have access to the router, write the same IP addresses of the DNS servers there: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
