With the blatant censorship rising on a daily basis on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook and considering the establishment's need to control the narrative, whether we're talking about vaccines or the election, it's only a matter of time before "they" move to block access to alternative news sites like Rumor Mill News. In the event that happens one of the primary ways they are going to attempt to accomplish it will be through shutting down or restricting access to the domain name servers (DNS) that act as routers to direct internet traffic to web sites. To work around an attack on the DNS system people can simply use the web site's internet protocol (IP) address in lieu of their normal website name (which requires a DNS server to convert it to an IP address to access the web site). For example here are a few popular alternative news aggregation web sites with their corresponding IP addresses:
rumormillnews.com > 45.79.195.246
stevequayle.com > 208.118.228.12
blacklistednews.com > 198.245.55.242
To access a website in the event the DNS system goes down or is under attack simply enter the numerical IP address in the URL bar of your favorite web browser instead of the website name. There are many DNS to IP converters available on the internet so search for one or use the following site which I recommend:
http://domaintoipconverter.com/index.php (click the link at the bottom of the page)
Here's the IP lookup for the above web site:
domaintoipconverter.com > 107.170.40.77
Everyone should lookup the IP addresses for their favorite web sites and keep those in a file (created with Notepad or any other text application) on your computer for future use if needed. Don't wait until it's too late to do this!
Also, if they take things beyond simply messing with the DNS system to shut down the internet I'm pretty sure that things will be so bad at that point we'll have plenty of other things to worry about.
God Bless everyone and stay safe out there . . .
