some chocolate fireguards are better than others and DNS blocking is just too easy to get around - Any kid will have this sorted within hours of it being implemented (even the none teccy ones can have a quick cheat sheet written for them).
Yeah that's true, but SSSHHH the government doesn't know that. But then yeah okay let's use the DPI method just for the hell of slowing everything else down, yeah that'll work, oh wait a minute.
ANY KID will know how to bypass BOTH methods, DPI isn't that much harder to bypass, and takes a throughput toll on the networks so let's not convince them to use it aye?
Ain't all of these methods a 'chocolate fireguard' My point was that if they want to DO IT which THEY WILL, they may as well use the least invasive one, being the DNS server blocklist rather than a DPI blocklist which inspects all requests thus slowing down ALL NETWORK TRAFFIC!
