In an ongoing escalation of its fight against online sports piracy, media giant Canal+ secured court orders compelling DNS providers Quad9 and Vercara to block access to pirate streaming sites in France. Quad9 says that it’s determined to appeal what it sees as an absurd application of copyright law. For now, however, it will block the targeted domain names globally.
@Joker Do we need to start running our own DNS servers?
Yesterday.
I already can’t do half the things I’m trying to do on my network, now I gotta figure out DNS?!?
Nah it’s not really hard. Look at unbound. If you have pihole already, adding unbound is really very easy.
i have pihole, will add unbound to my todo list
Already am.
Can you elaborate on this a bit? I’m currently running pihole. But mostly because I had a spare raspberry pi.
But it uses quad 9 for dns records. How do you establish your own dns that does not rely on other providers?
On mobile atm. Look for pi-hole + unbound. Uses root DNS. Might take a tiny bit longer to resolve at first, but as long as root DNS is uncensored it should be the way to go.
Thanks! I’ll check it out this weekend.
I’m now using this docker image. It has a really simple setup. https://github.com/origamiofficial/docker-pihole-unbound
Thanks! So much. This project seems great 😁
Ah, that’s annoying. I’ve had to switch from Real Debrid (turns out RD was run by cunts anyways, so good riddance) and now Quad9. Sucks, they had better response times than most DNS I tested.
What’s the story with Real Debrid?
Owners acted very childish when people understandably sought out refunds, basically. Refusal to refund, acting as if they never supported piracy and it’s all our fault, threats about giving french gov logs, stuff like that.
