The desire path is proving its resilience

It's not just a desire path but also a shortcut that saves you 7km. They are trying to block it but it's coming back on the side.

Edit 1: Update, how it was going...

Edit 2: How it's going now... They blocked the previous path and guess what? There is now another desire path, under the tree.

Update 2025-05-29: They are installing a wired fence. Going lengths to make people's life more difficult!

Someone knocked off the pole that was on this section, the one in the photo is a replacement. Someone also bent the same section of the fence.

DNS Redirection and Censorship Concerns

I've encountered a significant issue with my DNS resolution due to what appears to be a mandated DNS redirection implemented by my ISP. Despite configuring Quad9 as my upstream DNS server, queries were not reaching the intended endpoints. This behavior persisted even after verifying the correct IP addresses.

While I understand the potential rationale behind such a policy, the lack of transparency and communication from my ISP is deeply concerning. The claim that this redirection will enhance security is questionable, as it could inadvertently introduce vulnerabilities or compromise privacy. Furthermore, it raises red flags about potential government censorship efforts.

To mitigate these risks, I strongly recommend employing DNS over TLS (DoT) or DNS over HTTPS (DoH) protocols. These methods can help bypass the redirection and ensure your DNS queries remain private. If these options are not feasible, consider using a VPN service, such as Cloudflare's Warp.

Rules are for others!

Maxis, sent last month an SMS saying they will block SMSs with URLs and then, after the block has taken effect, they are sending me an SMS with URL which doesn't get blocked because it is conveniently theirs.

They'd be doing me a favor if they blocked those too!
