#2The easiest is just changing your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8.
I wish iOS allowed you to change DNS for celluar networks.

Does it work over HTTPS?

#5Same deal in the UK. I wonder how long until the US goes down the same route.
I'm quite surprised that they've gone down the DNS based filtering route. I'd expect that to change in a few years time.
I recommend investing in a VPN service. They're relatively cheap. And if you pick the right one, the bandwidth is generally pretty good.

HTTPS still has to resolve the domain name that is part of the url.

#7VPN is another option.

I think it only affects certain ISPs. I am with SkyMesh and thepiratebay.se resolves fine.

Yeah, but an ISP should at worst be able to block connections to specific hosts or IP addresses. If they could generate certificates for arbitrary domains (like thepiratebay.se) allowing them to serve a "blocked for copyright infringement" page over HTTPS, then something would be seriously broken.

Escapenet (small provider) works fine as well.
