Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco must poison their DNS resolvers to prevent access to around 117 domains used by pirate sport streaming sites.

    This is a dumb game of whackamole that they’ll never win.

    If you’re affected just switch your dns to Quad9 or something.

      Or run your own DNS with Unbound. Just takes a raspberry pi and/or other cheap low power PC.

        Yep. Only reason I recommend not to is if you’re concerned about your ISP seeing your DNS queries. I use internally hosted DNS with forwarders to Quad9 using secure DNS so that my DNS queries are segregated and hidden from my ISP.
