To avoid congestion on the Tor network, you'd likely want to use Tor for the DNS resolution, but fallback to IPFS and HTTPS directly to IP addresses when fetching the content.


There is no congestion on the Tor network, Capacity is 2x demand.

Is sci-hub actually on IPFS now or is it still an idea floating in some heads?


Sci-hub is not yet on IPFS, libgen content already is.

Btw if you want to help mirror some of libgen's files here is how you can do it: https://freeread.org/ipfs/


Are they only blocking it at the DNS level? If so running your own resolver should do the job too.


Yeah, just tap "DNS over HTTPS" Firefox and watch the world open up.
