In this case, it's not really challenging. If I understood the post correctly, they simply map domains to the google-provided IP that forces safe search. That's like several lines of DNS-server config, though you need to do it in each internet service provider.
- b0afc375b5 4y agoApologies if I misunderstood, but in this case wouldn't the workaround be equally as simple? For example one could manually set the dns resolvers of one's own device to 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4
- tryauuum 4y agoyeah, they probably capture all DNS packets (or packets with answers?) and modify them. That is more effort than a couple of lines in DNS server config. I haven't thought of it because I assumed Iran already has something like this in place && I didn't consider it as a part of effort of enforcing safe search (though it is)
