DNS filtering (and censorship)

[Strange]

Most of it is this kind http://en.flossmanuals.net/bypassing-censorship/ch033_playing-with-dns/ DNS filtering basically we won't see or be able to access certain pages, Like this one http://www.welcome.gpf/

 

welcome.gpf is not a valid domain name, so I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

 

We are fairly heavily censored strange.

 

And can you give an example of where "we" (who is "we"?) are heavily censored?

I am not going to use unidentified IP addresses, thank you. Especially as one of them appears to be in Russia.

 

Why not explain what you meant.

 

I'm sure someone could set up a DNS server that has non-existent/invalid domain names. But so what. That has nothing to do with censorship.

 

What is the IP address of the site you are referring to as "welcome.gpf"?

You're probably right not to I'll do it anyway though i am curious like that. Did you read the Forbes article about censorship in china? http://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2014/09/29/can-chinas-social-media-censorship-keep-the-lid-on-hong-kong-protests/

I am skeptical though.

Skeptical to what? To censorship taking place.. ?

 

My posts on local newspapers websites forums are censored every week or so.. And I am not in China...

So I stopped writing anything, if it takes less than hour to delete it.

This happens to me too. Generally if I am using one of those particular sites it gives me a message saying my post has been submitted for review and may not appear for twenty minutes or so.
