Faced with several French court orders, Cloudflare geoblocked more than 400 sports streaming piracy domain names on its pass-though service.
In response to several court orders, Cloudflare geoblocked more than 400 sports streaming piracy domain names on its pass-through service in France last year. Notably. Cloudflare says that, despite requests, it has not blocked any websites through the 1.1.1.1 Public DNS Resolver. That last comment is relevant to the renewed site blocking push in the United States.
Maybe recursive DNS will become much more popular. I’d love to see faith and compliance with ICANN and IANA erode at least a little bit. Centralized DNS is the Achilles heel of the open internet, and yes that extends to activitypub based platforms which federate via domains.
Yes, Unbound by default will query DNS root servers (root hints) without any middle man, thus greatly improve security. Unless you override forward-zone: or one or all stub-zone.
But only if it needs to, since Unbound has also a cache to store the DNS queries results.

luckily, it’s easy to change your dns server.

Until they block that as well by controlling the root DNS servers.

I’m indeed running my own recursive DNS server called Unbound. Everybody should run one at home.
Are you pulling directly from root servers? I run pihole but it’s upstream is Cloudflare.

And little less easy to run own.
