and the f-root.cesidio.net root-server for the Cesidian Root.

host_name("89.238.64.147","f-root.cesidio.net").


These did not get censored but it is mostly an experiment in privacy.

You have to look into your nameserver setup in windows and switch them
away from the DNS-servers offered by your isp. We are afraid the isp
might tell our government what sites we are looking at. It is the
most prominent place to do that and it is the most prominent place to
introduce censoring.

Switching to a Racine Libre or an alternative root might be bad for
the rfc's but it is good for your privacy.


Kind regards
Peter and Karin
