Are they trying to force DNS resolvers to become authoritative entities…? Like bro they’re just supposed to route me to an IP. It’s not on them to block content based on what others want.

Nice.
They have a poet in their press release crew.
That was beautiful.
Woow… That’s huge ^^ ! I guess my pi wont work anymore without any vpn… This clearly sucks !
Maybe time to switch to I2P for torrenting and doing my part for a more free open internet? Any Other alternative?
In the future, will we need VPNs that also change their DNS depending on which country the exit node is located in?
In the future, we will only use the clearnet for official functions.

Weren’t they located in Switzerland?
They’re suspending service to French users, not physically leaving (I don’t know where they are). It seems they’re not sure how to do that, though.
Simple geoblocking IP tables or firewall rule. There’s no way their team couldn’t figure this out, Google has the answer.
I don’t think folks like them would bother with geoblocking, given their principle. Most likely the French govt would block them first.
how? They use DNS to “block” access to websites by not resolving domain name, if they would have an other way to block a service they wouldn’t need to ask DNS provider to do so
Seems like they’re blocking French networks (ISPs?) instead of IP addresses, since GeoIP blocking was found insufficient by a German court. I struggled to understand their actual plans from their blogpost though, maybe someone else can interpret it better?
