Isn't ISP-level blocking of the kind seen in Europe trivially bypassable by using a non-ISP DNS server such as 9.9.9.9 or 1.1.1.1?

"boete" means "fine". With that, I think there's enough loan/brand words that the article lede is readable to any English speaker. Basically, cloudflare has in Italy gotten a 14 million euro fine because it refused to implement blocks for its public dns service 1.1.1.1 Anyway, dns blocks are silly. So long as it's in the dns system proper, you can trivially run a local resolver. Focusing on this now is just a distraction until IP blocks come along and you actually can't reach blocked parts of the internet if the target service doesn't support an overlay network
- wmf 10mo agoThey're not just doing DNS blocking. Spain is doing IP blocking and other countries will follow.

- drnick1 10mo agoBlocking VPNs is extremely difficult. Even if mainstream VPNs are blocked, you can set up your own on a VPS and keep giving middle finger to the Spanish government.
