These are being redirected by the Malaysian government as well.

You do know what happens when people try to MiM SSL traffic correct?

Even the UK/China firewall can be tunneled over, but the ramifications for those that do so can be dire. =3

Yes, the connections fail, and most clients will fall back to regular ol' DNS on port 53, which then gets redirected to the government's DNS servers.

So far clients have chosen availability instead of fighting this fight.

Unless your local router tunnels the DNS traffic via other means. The clients may see slightly higher latency, but for <16 host hotspots it would be negligible.

It is quite easy for example, to bonce traffic through a reverse proxy on a Tor tunnel, and start ignoring spoofed drop-connection packets (hence these bypass local DNS, tunnel to a proxy IP to obfuscate Tor traffic detection, and exit someplace new every minute or so.) This is a common method to escape the cellular LTE/G5 network sandbox.

Ever played chase the Kl0wN? Some folks are difficult to find for various reasons.

Have a nice day, =3
