We are also talking about it on network level. Tor is also blocked by many websites as they want to know who's who. That's how they do webhosting business.ĥ. People use Virtual Host for serving multiple websites on the same server. Doesn't work when there are multiple websites on one webserver. Are you sure that those proxies are not looking into your traffic data? Many proxies are being used for stealing user data.Ĥ. Also in many places, they bock UDP/53 except to their own DNS.ģ. And it doesn't work when they forward UDP/53 on ISP level. And you already provide your data to this VPN companies.Ģ. VPN -> In some countries, they block VPN for smartphones. The most popular way of accessing blocked internet sites is to use a high-quality paid Virtual Private Network (VPN).ġ. This is the best option when it comes to keeping your privacy on DNS level.īypass block websites by followings steps: Now, you don't use any public DNS services. If you are using older versions of NxFilter than v4.3.9.2, you can add 'local_resolver_port = 5353' on /nxfilter/conf/cfg.properties. In this case, you can speicify the port through NxFilter GUI using a colon like '127.0.0.1:5353'. In old days, it is possible through its local config file and since v4.3.9.2 you can specify DNS port number when you add a upstream DNS server on 'DNS > Setup'.įor example, you install Unbound or MaraDNS's recursive DNS server and change its DNS port to a non-standard one that is 5353. If you don't want to run it on another machine then you can run it on the same machine with NxFilter. You can run your own recursive DNS server in your local network and make it the upstream server to your NxFilter. However, if you still use those public DNS services as the upstream server for NxFilter then it's not perfect yet. To avoid of using these public DNS services, you may run your own DNS server for hiding yourself from these public DNS services and you can use NxFilter for that. Those Secure DNS services are provided mostly by big companies and they are one of your enemies in this battle in the first place. However, if you want to hide it from the eyes of big-techs, you might have gone wrong way. On DNS level, people started using 'DNS over HTTPS' or 'DNS over TLS' for keeping their DNS usage private.

People want to protect their private information from governments and big-techs.

Internet Censorship is a major issue these days.
