My country plays wack a mole with their domains. I mostly rely on 2 private trackers now
If you're not using a VPN to visit PB.org from a non- problematic country, are you even trying?
My torrent program and prowlarr use a VPN. I don't bother using it for normal browsing.
Now say the two things you just said in order
I have it running at router level but to a local server (so Australian). My devices also have it on so I can quickly change location on whatever device I'm using too
Wouldn't this be solved by using a DNS server your country as no control over?
But anyway PirateBay is not recommended anymore.
I use Firefox private DNS and still it doesn't work for some reason.
If you are willing to tell the country I would be curious.
Depends on how the country is doing it. If they are just flat out dropping traffic to the routes, changing DNS won't save you.
They would need to do DPI and drop the packet using its SNI. Websites, especially pirates ones, really need to implement ECH, this would prevent this.
