Source is me trying to access sci hub via Vodafone and wondering why it’s still blocked despite changing the DNS server.
Weird. I can’t find an external source for it now, either. What did I do a few month ago?
I had a hundred tabs open back then angrily trying to solve this problem, and it finally worked with DNS-over-HTTPS.
