content: Domain Registrars are banning websites they don't like, what would the challenges be in creating your own DNS servers and setting up a free Internet? From my understanding, The available IP addresses of the world are owned in chunks by various regions, for example, the United States has the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN). The World Wide Web (WWW) setup master domain controllers around the world that translate IP addresses to domain names. They allowed the registration of domain names to be handled by 3rd party companies like GoDaddy. Another layer to this is more companies own the Top Level Domains (TLD) and make various rules around how those TLD's can be used, for example, people attempting to purchase (rent) a ".us" domain must verify they live in the United States. Yet another layer is Domain Name System (DNS) servers. For example, Google owns the "8.8.8.8" and "8.8.4.4" DNS servers, Cloudflare owns "1.1.1.1" and your local ISP has their own as well. How these work is that every device that connects to the Internet has to reference a DNS server to translate "voat.co" to it's actual IP address and or range of addresses known as Round-robin DNS. For example, "voat.co" is registered with a domain registrar called Namecheap. I know this because all current websites on the WWW have to be part of a public record. For an extra fee, people registering domain names can hide their personal information from this public registry (but not from law enforcement). For "voat.co" to exist, they paid a registrar and another company to hide their personal information. If I'm at a computer and want to access "voat.co" and I have the DNS servers on my computer set to 8.8.8.8, Basically, our "free and open Internet" can easily be controlled and censored by any of these middlemen companies. If we were able to create our own list of names that translate to IP addresses and someone maintained and made the list publicly available, we could share the list over the "controlled" Internet. For example, if I was the owner of "voat.co" I could submit an IP address (or addresses) to the list and ask that "voat" is the name. There would be no need for the TLD, it would just be "voat" and finding the word "voat" in the directory would take you to whatever server is hosting Voat's content by IP address. Your address bar would just show an IP address instead of "voat.co". The immediate problem with this is that it would be easy to trick someone into going to a Voat clone website, as nobody is going to remember an IP address and IP addresses can change if a person moves to a new website host. Inevitably what would be required is some sort of new DNS system where a website owner would submit their IP address and have it correlate to a domain name. This would also require people to change their DNS settings in their devices, which would be very challenging to a normie. Getting people to modify their DNS settings would be one of the many challenges with this, you'd also have to come up with a way to stop the kikes from finding a loophole to get the entire system shutdown. I've had a few ideas, such as making the name of the website the Top Level and have every subdomain be "not.". For example, "not.voat". The reason for this would be copyright infringement lawsuits, which Jew lawyers (redundant) would slither all over. A person could register McDonalds, it would just be called "not.mcdonalds" or "not.walmart" or "not.google". This might be enough to keep back the lawsuits. The second thing would be the Jews cleverly figuring out how to post child porn, selling drugs or other illegal activity. They would use it as an excuse to shut it down and ban such a thing forever forward. Sort of how TOR and ".onion" are attacked. So whatever system we created would have to have a 100% ban on porn (even nudity) and anything illegal. Which is fine in my book as porn has nothing to do with free speech, nevermind there are already thousands of Jewish owned porn websites. Another problem would be coming up with a secure way to maintain ownership, for example, making sure whoever registers "voat" has 100% control and it can't be forwarded to a clone website. This could be done with some sort of encryption system similar to Bitcoin. Which, of course, brings up the problem of how this is all paid for, but that might be solved with something like Bitcoin (or Bitcoin itself). It'd also be interesting to see how some sort of distributed computing system could get involved. For example, if i wanted to personally help create this network, I could buy a second line from my ISP and plug in a customized Raspberry Pi box that could be used to help redistribute the DNS load. Another possibility is creating custom Raspberry Pi boxes that are customized to allow a person to access this "other web" by first accessing their home IP address. A personal web server with DNS already setup that you can then access while at work or anywhere else over any device by simply going to your homes IP address. Anyway, hope at least a few people read through that wall of texts because I worry everyday that I'll wake up and Voat and all the other websites will be banned and even discussing something like this wouldn't even be possible anymore.
