Jokes on them I just have an incredibly high volume of DNS traffic

Can confirm, used DNS proxying to bypass cruise ship WiFi paywall once. It worked, but god damn did it send me into dialup flashback lmao

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’d like to hear more about how that works…

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

It's called DNS tunneling it's typically used for data exfiltration tactics, but it's also great if you're desperate to punch through even the toughest paid WiFi paywalls to Google something really ~~quick~~ slow because you fucked something up on your phone lmao

It really isn't that slow, last time I tried to homebrew a working DNS tunnel it maxed my 100mbps card. I never needed the extra speed so I didn't try to see how fast it could be on a 1gbps card

Wait, this can't just be another useless DNS blocking, or is it?

Edit: Didn't get the joke first lol

[–] childOfMagenta@jlai.lu 7 points 2 days ago

It's not. I use next and it's blocked.

I was making a joke about running wireguard over UDP/53
