- Karunamon 15y agoNo, because it's not that Chinese DNS servers are returning bogus data, it's that the DNS servers are returning correct data, which is being modified before it gets to you. You could point your system to Google DNS (assuming for a moment that it isn't blocked, which it is), but then your DNS results would still be twiddled in transit.

- epc 15y agoI’m in Shanghai right now…Google’s DNS (as well as OpenDNS) work fine for many domains, but ones which are to be blocked (eg: a lot of the Witopia VPN endpoints) just either hang or I see an immediate reset of the connection. I’m seeing less DNS blocking and more per-URL blocking compared to a visit here last year, with the exception of the witopia.net end points (which were blocked by the ISP at the hotel I was staying at, but are not blocked by the ISP at my expat–friend’s home)
