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.
DoH, DoT, DoQ, DNSCrypt, or just use a VPN
I use VPN, can’t be bothered with DNS anymore because i know they will pull this move.
Also it’s really just a mask for easier censorship, as Malaysia had tried it before, censoring site like news site that report on government scandals, news site that focus on LGBT reporting, Fanfic, Medium, and even Steam.
Seems like using a VPN is basically inevitable now
Always has been.
Why would you accept paying some telco merchant for service only to have them sell your data for more money 🤡
At some point people got to start punishing parasites. Hurt their profits 🐸
