They did similar things to block the pirate bay, I guess 💀
That’s a nice list for pirates. And none of it is blocked from here, so thanks I guess
You could circumvent DNS blocks by using a third party DNS. But german ISPs do DNS hijacking, so you have to set up an encrypted connection like DNS-over HTTPS to make it work.
At this point ISPs are just another malicious actor you have to protect yourself from.
Wait, really? Do you have a source for that? I couldn’t find anything on a quick search.
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. I swear it was in a half-sentence in one of those piracy tutorials…
I just have a VPN set up in my router.
I was considering doing that but wanted to build my own more capable firewall/router first and get my cloud based thing off the network. But by the time I get the thing done, VPNs will require ID, you know, “for the children.”
Sitting here in the era of Facebook and Xwitter, it’s kind of crazy they weren’t to start with.
Do we start to build our own DNS servers too, now? I mean, not just the pihole everyone and their dog are running on local network, but independently ran network of trustworthy (whatever that might be, I’m not quite sure) DNS servers for anyone to use.
Here in Finland operators are legally in a pretty good place right now, but who knows when that might change on todays world. My own network uses root servers, but it’s still traditional DNS and prone to MITM attacks, specially from operator level. So far that’s been quite enough for my needs but on this echo chamber (of sorts) which Lemmy provides it feels more and more like I should start to harden and secure my stuff better.
Of course it’s Telefonica. Leeches!
