ISP's Blocking Childporn on the Internet (part 2)

Oke, it seems that UPC has already implemented the so-called child pornography filter. There's no fancy filtering software. They are using their own DNS servers to re-route traffic. This means that when your using other DNS servers (e.g. openDNS), a modified hosts file, or just browse to the filtered server based on the IP address you'll be just fine.
As I've mentioned before; with casual browsing you won't end up on child porn websites. Only if you want to find it you'll probably end up getting it. So a awefully simple DNS protection won't stop the real perverts. It's just another false sense of safety.
