dns-watch.org
by tjdev.deWhat is dns-watch.org?
dns-watch.org is a service that allows you to see which (mainly
German) Internet Service Providers (ISPs) try to censor internet access
of their customers.
The CUII, which is a German institution
consisting of the biggest German ISPs and rightsholders, censors parts
of the Internet to reduce the number of copyright infringements in the
World Wide Web. In order to block these sites, they use the already
existing DNS provided by German ISPs. When your device asks your ISP
where it can find a website, it will give you wrong information and
instead redirect you to the page of CUII.
Using dns-watch.org, you can check which ISPs actively censor parts of
the Internet. This tool can also help developers of blocked sites by
giving them information on which ISPs are blocking their web services.
We support a Free Web without Internet censorship, and so should you!
