Greece is already way ahead!
When one tries to visit some sites like LibGen, DNS is redirected to a "no-no you shouldn't go there" page, which in turn redirects to this official finger-wagging page: https://opi.gr/edppi_block/edppi_block.html https://opi.gr/edppi_block/edppi_block.html
DNS hijacking was also used during the beginning of the Ukraine affair as part of an EU-wide censorship push, blocking sites like the Kremlin and Pravda, though without further redirection.
- skrause 2y agoWe're talking about two different issues though: 1. Blocking or redirecting some pages when using the ISP's DNS server. This is what you're talking about. The workaround is to use a third party DNS resolver. 2. Intercepting all unencrypted DNS traffic to any DNS server and redirecting it to the ISPs' DNS servers. This is what Malaysia was planning to do.
- nubinetwork 2y agoIt sounds to me like Malaysia wanted to do both...
- skrause 2y agoMalaysia is already doing the first one.
- mytailorisrich 2y agoNot a very good example as LibGen is blocked by court decisions in a number of countries because of copyright infringement issues. It's even been ordered to close by a US court (according to Wikipedia). Obviously they ignored that as they are not in the US...
- sunaookami 2y agoAs is Germany with the "CUII" where every relevant ISP DNS-blocks "copyright-violating" sites without a court decision. And of course EU-wide where f.e. RT is blocked (not vetoed by a court or parliament).
