Democrat teams up with movie industry to propose website-blocking law (arstechnica.com)

Lofgren's bill would impose site-blocking requirements on broadband providers with at least 100,000 subscribers and providers of public domain name resolution services with annual revenue of over $100 million. The bill has exemptions for VPN services and "similar services that encrypt and route user traffic through intermediary servers"; DNS providers that offer service "exclusively through encrypted DNS protocols"; and operators of premises that provide Internet access, like coffee shops, bookstores, airlines, and universities.

Invest in VPN providers.

@some_guy is there such a thing as an open source dns and encrypted DNS? Or federated DNS?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's actually surprisingly centralized.

It sort if have to be. In the end there has to be one source of truth for each TLD, otherwise who is to say who owns foo.com, and what it resolves to?

And then the same structure for assigning TLD ownership.

But there is nothing stopping you from running another DNS service, call it DNS2 with different root servers, etc. It is just going to be extemely hard to convince people to use it.

I use a self hosted pihole for DNS. It needs an upstream DNS server for resolving unchached dns's. I have pihole point to quad9 then cloudflair then google then I have it point to a bunch of unfiltered DNS servers across the world.

Pihole also let's you install unbound. Your own recursive resolver. So you don't have to rely on google or quad9 etc.

Cool I might do that. I assume I can find a docker compose somewhere.

They're absolutely is, it's called onion routing, get around DNS blocks with tor as long as you know where you're going.
