What is DNS? What is level? What isp dns level domain block, what? I'm just a random grandma using the internet, and the site doesn't work for me?!
DNS level blocking efficiently blocks content for 99% of the users, and that last 1% (or even less), can't be blocked at all (tor, vpns, etc.), so they don't matter.
- Barrin92 2y ago>I'm just a random grandma using the internet To be fair if you're a grandma in Germany you likely visit your favorite weather site and yahoo or whatever, as you can see from the leaked list of blocked ips it's basically illegal gambling and streaming sites. I get the theoretical argument but in practice pretty much anyone who is likely to run into dns blocked sites is also the kind of person who knows how to at least Google how to get past them
- ajsnigrutin 2y agoMy dad (grandpa-aged) uses a local torrent site, heavily moderated though (viruses, etc. get quickly removed), and he uses that because it's in our native language (his english is bad) and movies come with subtitles in the torrent. If it gets blocked, there's no way he'll figure out DNS by himself.
