Egor Minin, founder of Torrents.ru (RuTracker): about half of users know how to bypass blocking
The creator of the popular torrent tracker Yegor Minin gave an interview to the Izvestia newspaper. He told about the history of the creation of RuTracker (formerly the site was called Torrents.ru): “I had a good domain name and there was a person who used a suitable engine. And I decided to let [all this] develop together, ”said Minin. - I suggested using this domain name. Cooperated. It was a programmer who is still engaged in this site. His name is Dmitry. He has been supporting RuTracker for 10 years. ”
As the name of the programmer Dmitry, Minin did not speak. But, according to several sources, Dmitry Simerzin came to RuTracker for talks with Roskomnadzor at the end of last year, Izvestia writes.
“I am not the owner of RuTracker,” said Minin. - I was the owner of the domain torrents.ru. When there were claims to him, I donated it to the company, which is now engaged in tracker [Dreamtorrent Corp., registered in the Seychelles], There is a programmer, administrators and that's it. And then they blocked the domain, and they moved to RuTracker. I sit in the community and do not do the site. ”
As you know, on January 25, 2016, RuTracker was entered in the registry of prohibited sites, and Internet providers began to block access to it from the territory of the Russian Federation.

Yegor Minin does not think that this will drastically reduce attendance: “Almost more than half know how to bypass locks. And those who didn’t get around right away will learn, ”Minin is sure. - Who can bypass the lock, he can. Who is not, will go to other trackers. As for me, if RuTracker is blocked, I’ll set up a VPN for myself and use it. Qualification will allow.
In addition to VPN, you can use a proxy server to access Rutreker. For example, Frigate. There is also a free proxy dostup-rutracker.org . Extensions released for all popular browsers.
The developers emphasize that the use of such extensions is absolutely legal: "The law prescribes blocking access to providers, not users."
