None of those onion systems do anything for DNS, if it's a clearnet resource you're hitting then all you're doing is adding middlemen, not circumventing it
Yeah they do. They don't use them.
Getting around geofences is different than privacy, commodity VPN's or ideally a VPS running a proxy is the way to deal with that
It can be. You have to trust the VPN which is increasingly a risky gamble.
IPFS is a retarded ETHhead thing that doesn't work as it relies on DHT, Torrent tried that ages ago and still uses trackers because it's crap.
Yeah, I was around when torrent tried that "ages ago". I'll tell you a little secret, each time something has been tried it is not necessarily because the technological solution failed but rather a certain kind of interference asserts itself. The same thing happened back in the PGP days. After this interference shows up, people that develop certain solutions often are visited by interested parties and not long after, often that technology disappears. Then, people come along and say "Well the tech was crap." No, not really. I've had a lot of time to see many university projects that had all the ideas right and develop prototypes never get funding, or else get yanked. I'll let you figure out why that might be.
Edited to add: Windows was and IS crap. That crap is everywhere.
Yeah they do. They don't use them.
Tor is a proxy, if you're accessing a clearnet website, the exit relay is using DNS. This is internet 101.
You have to trust the VPN which is increasingly a risky gamble.
Thats why I said ideally a VPS, its not risky if you don't consider VPN's a privacy tool.
certain kind of interference asserts itself
That's a lack of resilience
Fact is IPFS doesn't work, neither does DHT... if you want to beat your head against the wall on that perennial failure glhf

You aren't understanding what I'm talking about. Onion links don't use DNS. They go around it.

They are easy honeypots.

Fact is, nothing is working. Not really. And it won't. Not as long as the problem I'm pointing out persists.
