Run your own unbound
or bind
resolvers!
A French court has ordered Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco to poison their DNS resolvers…
Never question the bravery of the French. They discovered snails are edible.
As for their intelligence on the other hand…

Or even better yet, why not join OpenNIC and help a more democratic alternative to DNS root.
I’m glad it’s only the football streaming sites, but I don’t much like that companies get this kind of legal power.
Is it possible to get unbound to talk to the root servers via TLS/HTTPS by now?
I’m currently using Quad9 because they support DNS over TLS and DNS over HTTPS.
Yes its possible 👍
Use:
forward-zone: forward-addr: 9.9.9.9@853#dns.quad9.net
ELI5…?
DNS is when your browser asks where to find a website. You enter Lemmy.One in your browser, and your browser asks the DNS resolver the address of the computer the website is hosted on.
Most people will use their internet company’s DNS, and it sounds like France ordered these companies to block some illegal streaming sites by having the DNS server point to a page saying it’s blocked instead of to the website server.
More technical users changed their settings to get DNS from google, Cloudflare, etc instead of the internet company, so now France is going to make those companies block the sites too.
