Can’t access legal websites and even on your own site they call you a pirate, a pedophile, and a hundred other things—flashing a court ruling you didn’t even know existed because “your country has a GovNull”?
Does your screen slap you with a link to La Liga when you’re just trying to buy a bike, and your soul screams “Why me, oh VAR god!?”
Relax. You’re not alone.
And no, we’re not going to pirate anything (wink, wink). We’re going to use science. Well… weird browsers and magic onions, which is pretty much the same.
Step 1: What is TOR and why is its logo an onion?
TOR (The Onion Router) is a network that routes your traffic through various nodes around the world, so it looks like you’re in a different country.
Like an onion, it has layers—and some people are gonna cry for messing with geeks.
Step 2: Use Brave (the brave browser)
Brave is like Chrome, but with less spying and a built-in TOR mode.
Sure, you can use the full TOR browser… but this is the easy guide. I’ll write a “ninja expert mode” article on my other blog someday.
Step 3: How to activate it in 3 clicks (ok, 4 if you count opening Brave)
-
Download Brave from https://brave.com/ and install it.
-
Open Brave 🦁
-
Go to the menu (three lines at the top right)
-
Click “New private window with TOR”
BOOM. You’re in onion mode.
Step 4: Browse like you’re in another country
Now that you’re on the TOR network, your IP no longer looks like it’s from your country.
Blocked in Spain? TOR can make you look Norwegian, Brazilian, or from Mordor. (Okay, maybe not that last one, but you get the idea.)
Things to keep in mind
-
You don’t always get connected to the country you want. It’s random.
-
Sometimes it’s slower. Think of it like when your team passes the ball backward—frustrating, but part of the game.
-
If a site doesn’t load, try opening another private window with TOR (you’ll get a new IP).
What if I want to go PRO?
If you’re the type who mods everything or gets excited configuring your toaster with Linux—don’t worry.
There’ll be an advanced guide where all your computer’s traffic (or better yet, from a VM) goes through TOR—not just Brave.
Anyway, tambourine world
We’re not hacking anything. We’re just using the tools available to browse freely.
Because if you pay for your internet and net neutrality exists, who is La Liga to censor you? Who do they think they are, harming thousands of businesses?
Tebas, I once invited you for a coffee in a post to explain this to you. Since you didn’t respond, here you go—an easy manual, just in case you’re not the techy type.
Now block this website or the Tor network too, I’m going to laugh.
Someone who hates football and didn’t even know who you were is going to dedicate their summer to stopping this.
Football season is over, and sites are still being blocked. This was just the prelude—to see how far the people will let you go.
