TamilGun uses several sophisticated techniques to remain active. First, it operates through a network of proxy and mirror sites, making it difficult for authorities to shut down permanently. Second, it hosts its servers in countries with lax copyright enforcement laws. Third, the site relies on user uploads and peer-to-peer sharing via torrent files. In 2021, the Indian government, under the new Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill and the Information Technology Act, increased efforts to block such websites. However, for every domain blocked, TamilGun would launch a new one, often using ".com," ".net," ".org," or even ".in" extensions. Additionally, the site uses pop-up ads and redirects to generate revenue, often exposing users to malware and phishing attacks.
