But DoH makes the price of blocking a single domain too high, for example, if Cloudflare were to use it, the only way would be to block every service that uses CF.
- rusk 5y agoOkay, so I’m an oppressive state that has the wherewithal to block Tor but I’m not going to block DoH, because “the cost is too high” when I could previously mine DNS for free? I think I’d be blocking it and my citizens use a fork of FF that doesn’t force DoH.
- josephcsible 5y agoYou misunderstand what making the cost too high means. The goal is to make it so the only way to block DoH is to block all of Cloudflare and Google, and maybe eventually all of AWS and Azure too.
- rusk 5y agoNo that’s what I understood you meant by cost alright, and notwithstanding many regimes being able to pay just that, it’s hardly the case that prohibiting the use of DOH you’re going to be blocking those sites.
