I feel like a parallel DNS system would be a low hanging fruit for fighting censorship. Has anyone tried that before?

Use PiHole(pi-hole.net) as a recursive DNS server and do your own DNS lookups.

This way no one is logging your requests, you block ads and sites can’t be blocked at that level.

You can't block logging that way, though going through a pihole's caching does reduce their traffic analysis capability a bit.

I'm expecting a major revamp of the way the internet works at some point, in order to eliminate p2p networks (more to kill blockchain than bittorrent) and lock down "fake news". Once that happens we're all largely screwed.

"fake news". Not child sx abuse or human trafficking but wooh "fake news". Sonsabitches.

Anonymity and private networks are the chief enemy of the state. Everyone not 'authorized' to use Gov.net will be reduced to schlepping their "blockchain" between Barter-towns on USB sticks.

Pi-Hole is just a DNS filter. It uses Unbound as the recursive lookup, which gets its info directly from the root servers.

So this method is great for getting around provider-level blocks, but if they block a domain at the root level, you're still screwed.

But the upshot is that if you know the IP address, you can manually add it to Unbound yourself and continue as if nothing happened. They'd have to forcibly knock the site offline at that point (which can be as simple as just making their provider change the IP address and not update any records).

This sounds interesting I'll look into it!

Adding it to my list of projects to check out!

There are many and you can add them to the DNS server list in your router. But they cannot automatically collect blocked IP addresses and bad actors can easily poison them.

Thanks I'll look into these. Sounds like the implementations need work though

They'll pressure the DNS providers, registrars, ISPs, the T1s that peer with the ISPs, the datacenters where they peer, T1s themselves, and eventually entire countries with threats to literally cut the fiber to them.

For those thinking a separate type of DNS system will fix this, think again.

You're right, long term. But these methods can be useful in the shorter while people work on and out final touches on a civilian meshnet. Although the meshnets on separate continents will need to be connected to one another with either a fiber backbone or satellite?

Obama did this. He gave authority to the UN over DNS.

Came here to say this.

Too bad Trump didn't seem to have the authority to take back what was wrongfully given away.

And by authority, I mean the will. The libs zero, xiden, etc do not seem to have any problem writing eo's that are blatantly illegal, or in trumps case, doing nothing while waiting for he corrupt congress to take care of it.

Yehp, the fake american citizen with the jewish whore mom, who liked sticking opened glass beer bottles up her coochie.

Sure did. They knew it was the easiest way to control the majority of the online narrative and didn't want US finger prints on it later.

Have we come to a turning point where the UN should not be allowed to continue opperating? Let's send a take down notice to all the world's governments and see how many of them comply with our notice to stop giving aid to the UN.

Buy a printing press. You will not be heard on the internet

Tucows is also based in Canada, so there's that.
