DTU (Chemical Engineering) has not blocked the access to http://sci-hub.cc.

Maybe you can check if you can resolve the domain with an open DNS server like 8.8.8.8 from Google and then access it from your university network.

3 Mobile, UK here -- it's accessible.

It's shocking to me that your university administrator has put a block in place on a website that isn't obviously malicious.

VPNs are cheap. In this case, I think it's worth it to invest in one.

Virgin media is blocking some addresses but not that one so I presume they are on the UK blacklist.

You don't need DNS, access it directly by IP: http://31.184.194.81/
