What / how do they do it then? SNI inspection?

The ISP's blackhole the IP for some blocked domains. So changing your DNS to 8.8.8.8 will resolve the domain, but the IP won't work. A VPN avoids this, since the traffic goes via the VPN IP.

In that case it like someone controlling the DNS records for a banned site could cause some mischief

Wow that’s intense.

I remember hearing someone complain on HN of their site getting blocked because it shared an IP with an illegal soccer livestream. I can’t imagine they’re doing this to IP blocks owned by CDNs like Fastly, CloudFlare, or CloudFront though. Or are they? Does this regularly break most of the internet for UK customers?

Spain ISPs block CloudFlare IPs during La Liga matches.

How would that work with cloudflare and similar though?
