Ugh, the situation is even worst in countries with censorship laws. For example, in my country, all ISP are required to intercept all DNS requests and filter all requests to any blocked domains found in the government block list. At least they're transparent about which sites are blocked though (the list is publicly available to query or download), but the fact that all DNS requests are intercepted causes various technical issues and some ISP are trying to profit from it by redirecting the blocked query to their own ads-laden landing pages. They even went as far as inspecting http host header as well as randomly injecting scripts on unencrypted http requests.
- loughnane 6y agoCurious which country is this? A public list of censored sites seems an odd thing to exist
- garaetjjte 6y agoOP talks about somewhere else, but Poland have public registry of domain names that every ISP must block/redirect to Ministry of Finance website in their DNS resolver: https://hazard.mf.gov.pl/ https://hazard.mf.gov.pl/ (gambling sites running without proper license) (this is only about ISP resolver, no intercepting going on)
- manquer 6y agoIndia definitely does this. It is usually porn and piracy etc related
- neurostimulant 6y agoIndonesia. The official block list is available here: https://trustpositif.kominfo.go.id/ https://trustpositif.kominfo.go.id/
