DNS Blocks exists to document censorship and give people safe, lawful ways to access information: no paywalls, no sales—just research, guides, and tools.

Research

Country reports and legal analysis of content regulation, ISP blocking, and platform enforcement.

Guides

Step‑by‑step setup for encrypted DNS (DoH/DoT), VPN, and Tor on all major platforms.

Tools

Resolver endpoints, diagnostics, and curated blocklists to reduce malware and trackers.

How circumvention works

Encrypted DNS hides your lookups; VPNs tunnel all traffic; Tor routes through multiple relays for maximum anonymity. Use the right tool for the context and law in your country.

Encrypted DNS

Use DoH/DoT to bypass ISP DNS filtering. Works on most devices and routers.

VPN

Encrypts all traffic and can change apparent location; good all‑round choice.

Tor

Best for anonymity; slower but resilient. Some services may rate‑limit Tor.
