# the discord incident

WANRING: this is a rough draft- not completed yet

i have no idea if the allegations are true but it's something that happens
on every platform. you can not stop child exploitation by blocking a messaging
app that mostly normal people use.

this post wil help you circumvent the recent discord block (and anything else!)

## providers

| isp | dns blocking | dns modification | ip blocking | wireguard blocking |
|-|-|-|-|-|
| turknet | yes | yes\* | no | no |
| turkcell | yes | ? | yes | no |
| turktelekom | yes | ? | yes\* | no |
| kablonet (turksat) | yes | ? | yes | no |
| vodafone | yes | ? | yes | yes |

\*: since of recent

## circumvention

### vodafone

you could use a VPN with builtin circumvention like mullvad, alongside encrypted DNS.

for self-hosters, read below.

dm me if you are on vodafone. i have yet to come up with a general
enough solution to this that an Ordinary Person can pull off. currently i do
selfhosted wireguard running on my laptop at home (which is turknet), which
both acts as a tunnel and DoT proxy. i use socat and DTLS to create a
connectionless obfuscation channel without losing tcp congestion control and
connect to it using termux on my phone (which uses vodafone for LTE) with
battery savings disabled.

server: 

```sh
socat openssl-dtls-server:4080,reuseaddr,fork,cert=server.pem,cafile=client.crt,verify=1 UDP:127.0.0.1:51337
```

client:

```sh
socat UDP-LISTEN:51337,reuseaddr,fork openssl-dtls-client:4.slonk.ing:4080,cert=client.pem,cafile=server.crt,verify=0
```

another option is to compile wireguard with different magic numbers.
both server and client.

### turknet

use encrypted DNS. see [the DNS section](#dns) for more info.

### kablonet, turkcell and turktelekom

use a VPN with encrypted DNS. i recommend mullvad though others will work.
if you have a mate on turknet that can host a wireguard server for you,
you might want to consider that as well.

## DNS

### DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS)

#### android

1. go to settings -> Network & Internet -> Private DNS
2. set it to Something Other Than "Off"

or

download 1.1.1.1 from the play store and use it

#### ios

download 1.1.1.1 from the app store and use it. no custom DoH for you lololol

### DoT (DNS-over-TLS)

#### systemd-resolved

enable it in `resolved.conf`. i don't think you need to be told how

## other stuff

cloudflare warp no longer works as even their exit nodes are blocked
from accessing discord.
