The writing is on the wall, lol, people will go back to the old way of doing things when they have to, I wonder what 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 looks like in smoke signals.

Turks thwart government ordered Twitter block
Re: Turks thwart government ordered Twitter block
LOL. But they've used a very simple form of censorship, with DNS poisoning. It's so easy to circumvent.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

It's the same method that the British government will use if their proposed moronic legislation in respect of internet censorship [1] is passed.Tornago wrote:they've used a very simple form of censorship, with DNS poisoning. It's so easy to circumvent.
Being seen to be doing something is the only thing that matters to politicians -- that the "solution" they propose is so laughably easy to circumvent does not diminish it's utility for the politicians in any way at all.

The scary thing is that the Turks are using Google which I trust even less than the government.
They should use the OpenDNS servers, especially with VPNs.
(though dont the VPN servers use their own DNS?)

Re: Turks thwart government ordered Twitter block
Many Twitter users in Turkey became self-educated about DNS and VPN after Gezi protests in 2013. DNS poisoning has been a method used in Turkey from time to time since then. Latest Twitter ban, which was in fact in effect for a few hours, did not affect many people, I assume.
