I wonder what exactly they will be blocking? $ nslookup http://sci-hub.tw/ Server: 127.0.0.53 Address: 127.0.0.53#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: http://sci-hub.tw/ Address: 36.37.242.94 It is trivial for the user to appoint another DNS server, or even to add the site to his /etc/hosts file manually, if they try to block at that level. It is also trivial to tunnel over another ip address to reach the one wanted. How is "blocking" supposed to work? In the court document, they asked for an injunction against a list of domain names. Therefore, I assume the "block" will be limited to blocking them at the DNS level. "Toutes mesures propres à empêcher l'accès" ("All appropriate measures to prevent access"), means everything and nothing, especially, when it is most likely impossible to do. What they really want is to block particular content. In my opinion, it is not possible for an ISP to support that. |
