** What is this? **

cen|sù|ra: controllo esercitato da un'autorità civile o religiosa su pubblicazioni, spettacoli, mezzi di informazione, per adeguarli ai principi della legge, di una religione o di una dottrina morale. (Tullio De Mauro, il dizionario della lingua italiana.)

censor [transitive verb]: to suppress or delete as objectionable. (Merriam-Webster's Online dictionary.)

Censorship is the removal or withholding of information from the public by a controlling group or body. (Wikipedia entry for Censorship.)

This suite of programs implements by-domain and by-IP censorship of the Internet. It is designed to be able to accomodate multiple blacklists and be easily extensible.

** Usage **

Many scripts contain configuration variables. Read and understand each one before before running them. Start from censorship-get and then censorship-apply.

The install-routes-linux script can be run directly on a border router or on a system where a dynamic routing protocol will redistribute the static routes it installs.

** Name servers configuration **

Something like this should be added to the main configuration file of your name server daemon:

named.conf (BIND)

include "/etc/bind/censura/named.conf";

unbound.conf (Unbound)

include: "/etc/unbound/censura.conf"

and the db.* files need to be copied in the $CONFDIR directory configured in the build-bind-config script (default: /etc/bind/censura/).

The list of your name servers must be configured in the upload-bind-config script.
