    I might be proven wrong, but I don't think the porn block is via DNS, much more likely that it's blocked from the porn providers side via IP-ranges.

    Well well, I was proven wrong :) I suppose the sites that didn't want to carry out the ID checks (which I assume is the problem) gets blocked from the country's side, that makes a lot of sense. I was actually thinking of Pornhub moving out of France and jumping to the wrong conclusion that surely all other porn sites are doing the same, but I suppose there are sites that just don't care, resulting in Germany having to block the non-complying sites from their side.

    You seem very confused. Do you think that using a different DNS prevents blocking like the recent France porn block? It doesn't.

    Do you know why people use different DNS servers to the ones from their ISP? In some EU countries, in particular Germany, this is actually quite private already because data protection laws prevent the ISP from recording and using/selling the info.

    You do understand that these servers aren't run by government (s), right?

    At least in Germany, what happened is that several local courts upheld a decision to block Pornhub and Youporn. From personal experience, I can tell you there are no practical consequences so far, both sites are perfectly available.
