RANT: I hate the fact that my ISP can restrict access to certain sites (lemmy.world)

How can it possibly be, that an ISP, which I'm paying for gets to decid, which sites I'm allowed to have access to, and which not?

All the torrenting sites are restricted. I know, I can use VPN, and such... but I want to do it because of my privacy concerns and not because of some higher-up decided to bend over for the lobbying industry.

While on the other hand, if there's a data breach of a legit big-corp website (looking at you FB), I'm still able to access it, they get fined with a fraction of their revenue, and I'm still left empty-handed. What a hipocracy!!

What comes next? Are they gonna restrict me from using lemmy too, bc some lobbyist doesn't like the fact that it's a decentralized system which they have no control over?

Rant, over!

I didn't even know that my router was using my ISPs DNS, and that I can just ditch it, even though I'm running AdGuard (selfhosted)

Hmm, kinda doubt it's the DoH provider's fault (cloudflare). On the other hand, my ISP already transparently redirecting plain DNS requests to their own DNS server, so it's not a stretch to think they found a way to degrade DoH experience (at least for well known endpoint like 1.1.1.1).
