Some countries (like France for instance) impose DNS censorship on ISP to block some domains.
- linschn 6y agoThis censorship is so easily circumvented that it's laughable. Firefox's dns over https or 'echo 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf' will do.
- bpoyner 6y agoI think you mean 'echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf'
- Qwertious 6y ago"C:\ doesn't have an etc folder" ~Most people. The problem here isn't any one person circumventing the 'censorship', it's influencing mass movements to prevent mass data-grabbing. If every tech-savvy Linux user uses TikTok, it's probably not that big of a deal as it's less than one percent of the population (and arguably the group most well-equipped to deal with the potential spying).
- xaqfox 6y agoTechnically it does. It should be in c:\windows\system32\drivers
- unionpivo 6y agoSure France and other countries block domains, in US DOJ just takes them ower (the domains). Most countries will, if push comes to show, find a way to "block" something they don't like and think they can politically get away with. And I think that there is a good reason for ability for doing that to be there. Some countries will abuse that however.
