So in Malaysia they tried to ban public DNS servers, because people used those to avoid censorship
It's another case of legislative-pedophilia (attacking civil liberties by claiming it's for pRotecTing tHe cHildRen)
The law got canned because of public outcry.

Louis Rossmann vid for more context:

I don't know much about that country but it seems pretty shit, they still have archaic medieval laws that punish criticizing or satirizing royalties. The guy wears a fucking bath-towel as his official costume, how people avoid snickering at that is beyond me. By the way the artist of the clown-face (thread picture) got arrested because it insulted the queen or something (not quite sure i understand why that face would…no matter)

Anyway whats the cure for those attacks on digital infrastructure like DNS ?
-vpns ?
-recursive DNS server locally hosted on a remote-vps
-entirely new network protocol that has a resilient name-resolver directly built in

or would a political solution be better ?
is there a way to change laws to prevent these attacks ?

DNS over TOR is a good fix for now. Most of my TCP traffic goes over TOR, but if someone were to run it as a DNS resolver only, the possible attack vector requiring large amounts of infrastructure would become even more infeasible, as the only exploitable resource would be a sparse metadata trail of website visits.

In any case you should set up a local DNS cache. Have some resources on djbdns http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html http://www.lifewithdjbdns.org http://thedjbway.b0llix.net/djbdns.html
