The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has instructed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to redirect Domain Name Service (DNS) traffic that uses third-party DNS servers back to their own DNS servers
MCMC has blocked a total of 24,277 websites between between 2018 to Aug 1, classified into various categories, which are online gambling (39 per cent), pornography/obscene content (31 per cent), copyright infringement (14 per cent), other harmful sites (12 per cent), prostitution (two per cent) and unlawful investments/scams (two per cent).
“It has been falsely claimed that the measure undertaken by MCMC is a draconian measure. We reiterate that Malaysia’s implementation is for the protection of vulnerable groups from harmful online content.
Doesn’t DoH and DoT completely kill this?
I have configured my home router to redirect all plaintext DNS traffic through it. I did it because Chromecasts try to sidestep DNS and go straight to Google.
While doing that was a couple of lines of nftables config, blocking DoH would require an actively maintained list. Even then, it would be trivial to host your own by renting some server space.
