Turkey used to implement DNS blocks but these days (because people learned to quickly circumvent DNS blocks by Google or OpenDNS) they straight up don't route the IPs.
- coldcode 7y agoI wonder with IPV6 could you not come up with a IP hopping protocol so that you can't actually block specific hosts without way too much effort? Maybe it would not work for the general internet, but maybe for some alternative just for this kind of situation?
- toast0 7y agoWith this sort of thing, you tend to block networks, not individual IPs. Regardless of how many IPv6 addresses you can use, they're going to be groupable, most likely.
- grenoire 7y agoAgreed, collateral blocks are not necessarily your worries in such scenarios. You could block all of the (e.g.) AWS datacenters for all that matters, if your endgame is preventing access to social media services.
- htfu 7y agoYeah, I remember the "8.8.8.8" graffiti. At least workarounds are still simple enough, if not quite as easy as before.
- anticensor 7y agoThey still do implement DNS blocks for less commonly visited websites. Turkey does blocking at multiple layers ranging from street terminators to central gateways.
