- tialaramex 7y agoMozilla's TRR agreements require that the end user willingly consented to any shenanigans done to their DNS results from your server. So you can make a kiddy filter DNS provider that won't let you resolve pornhub, but your users need to have gone "Yeah, kiddy filter, that's what I want" not get opted into it by a government policy. If you don't want a TRR agreement then sure, but now you'll need to teach users to go in and manually configure your servers. I have a feeling that "Here are the mandatory government instructions for ensuring censorship citizen" is not an effective strategy.
- andyjohnson0 7y agoI'd be ok with that. The problem would be the emergence of unscrupulous DoH providers. Presumably the fear is that having DoH built into the browser lowers the bar to entry for people who want to use it as part of engaging in criminality.
- t0astbread 7y agoDoH compared to plain old DNS is about as much as a crime-enabler as HTTPS compared to HTTP (probably even less)
- andyjohnson0 7y agoI was referring to people accessing illegal material, with DoH being used to bypass ISP-level content filtering.
