    You could circumvent DNS blocks by using a third party DNS. But german ISPs do DNS hijacking, so you have to set up an encrypted connection like DNS-over HTTPS to make it work.

    At this point ISPs are just another malicious actor you have to protect yourself from.

      Wait, really? Do you have a source for that? I couldn’t find anything on a quick search.

        Source is me trying to access sci hub via Vodafone and wondering why it’s still blocked despite changing the DNS server.

        Weird. I can’t find an external source for it now, either. What did I do a few month ago? I had a hundred tabs open back then angrily trying to solve this problem, and it finally worked with DNS-over-HTTPS. I swear it was in a half-sentence in one of those piracy tutorials…

        I was considering doing that but wanted to build my own more capable firewall/router first and get my cloud based thing off the network. But by the time I get the thing done, VPNs will require ID, you know, “for the children.”
