Unfortunately, the techniques shown there are for bypassing censorship in the so called authoritarian states. Using 8.8.8.8 as DNS server, for example, will not help because when UN nukes the DNS, they will nuke it on all cached servers as well.
The only option is to use alt DNS servers that are run by patriots who keep an offline list of up to date DNS entries and can switch to primary as soon as a domain gets nuked. Still its very complicated for most normies.
For single sites like GAW, you can also add hardocded IP addresses to your local host files
Was just going to say, we need to start running out own name servers. Setup alt root servers or something. This can be worked around but it will essentially fracture the internet.
We can use a blockchain based DNS, but everyone who wants to use this needs to install a new client. This will be the beginning of an alt net. Question is, how will new tld's be allocated? Needs to be something fair but distributed, and the money made out of tld registrations should go towards maintanence of this system.
I have been thinking of going a bit further with a distributed compute platform, where similar to blockchains, computers join together peer to peer and provide a hosting service to each other. Each hosting would be just one app and for every cycle used, will be paid in a crypto token. Unlike bitcoin, it would not require very steep computation, and when everyone is running at a moderate load, no one needs to pay for anything they host.
This, plus the blockchain DNS will make the internet censor proof.

Need tutorials.win for this purpose

Yeah, I get it - it's easy to forget not everyone has in-depth knowledge of such things.

I like the sounds of it, a TOR network of sorts only blockchain based.
That sounds awesome. Let me know what I can do to help if anything.
I created a discord server for this, we can brainstorm.
