  • Yes they can, but it doesn’t really matter. They can’t send you a faked dns response if you are connecting to the website via HTTPS, because a fake website won’t have the correct certificate.

    They may block your DNS queries so you can’t connect to things, but they’re your ISP, they can block all of your traffic anyway.

    The worst they can do by injecting their own DNS server is to track your queries, but if you’re not doing complicated stuff you are telling your ISP which sites you visit anyway (because of TLS Server Name Indication) and where your traffic goes (because the ISP needs a target IP to route your traffic).

    A VPN “solves” all of these problems in so far as that now your ISP has a harder time tracking you, but you just moved the problem and now have to trust whoever is running the VPN server.

    I don’t like this explanation, because if you don’t know what wormholes are before, you might think wormoles are represented by the hole stabbed through the paper by the pencil.

    Correctly stretching the paper to make a 2D wormhole is hard, but maybe you should just use a bagel or something
