How to help Russians Bypass Government Censorship & Access Facebook and Twitter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note, I'm going to be focusing on configuration instructions for Windows PCs. So, if you are on a Mac or Linux machine, you can still uses these services, but you'll have to figure out how to install it yourself.

The first method the Russian government might to use is to block the site at the DNS (Domain name System). The is essentially the internet's phone book, and it translates the text domain names into IP addresses that can be accessed.

Here are some DNS servers that might be useful;
Cloudflare - 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1
Google - 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4
Quad9DNS - 9.9.9.9 & 149.112.112.112
OpenDNSHelp - 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220
Comodo -  8.26.56.26 & 8.20.247.20
NextDNS - You can sign up for a free account at https://nextdns.io/ and they over DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, and IPv4/IPv6 options for you to pick from. Their configuration selection has a lot of very cool and handy options. Since they are geocentric, they will give you a DNS server that is close to your location in whatever part of the world. Supposedly unregistered users can use dns.nextdns.io as their DNS server, but I don't know where you would put that.

They can also installing a service called DNSCrypt along that uses end to end encryption (E2E) and connects to servers all over the world.

This can be a bit tricky to setup, so here is what I did.  They have an installation guide on the right side of the screen, located here: https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Installation

I choose to try YogaDNS as I have never been able to get the standard DNSCrypt client to work properly. You can download YogaDNS from https://yogadns.com/. Install the software and then open it. You can go under the configuration drop down menu and choose "First Start Wizard" and it should walk you through the project.

Otherwise, click on DNS servers, highlight them all then click the button that says "Check". That will check which servers are online (green) or offline (red). Once it's done, you want to select ALL the green servers in the list and Click "Ad". If you're not getting very many or any green servers, click the Server Pool button and see if there is a DNSCrypt that's localized to your area or any other random ones. Then do the same check and add the green servers. I'm not sure how often it swaps DNS server, but it's frequent, they're anonymized and uses E2E. So it will be very difficult if not impossible for Russia to block this service, unless they had there agents go through every single list and place a block on all the green servers. I just noticed you can also go under the Configuration Drop Down menu and select  If you want to use the Anonymized DNS option, you will want to select "Import servers from the web, test and select."

But, this is such a niche project and not many people know about it
