Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Geo-Block scenario planning (feddit.org)

I am looking for a way to block out all US IPs, ideally via a browser extension like uBlock Origin or a custom DNS server. I want to use this as a simulation to verify that I can still do the most critical activities without immediate US reliance (e.g., doing a bank transaction, contacting my family)

Does such a thing already exist?

I love the idea let’s isolate Trump’s regime Iran-style.

I am more worried that they try to block us out, but I get your point :-D

I really hate to say this but a lot of webpages both Canadian and those from the US are hosted on AWS servers. My pihole blocks all .ru and .zip pages I cannot remember if it blocks any other app things like .app or .exe if those exist. You say you use ublock origin maybe block .us tldn’s, .com will block a lot of Canadian things as well.

I am curious now if I can setup some script to get my pihole to geolock me to everywhere besides the US?

That lets you test that you're not directly connecting to US servers, but doesn't confirm that the services you talk to aren't talking to US servers. It's a good start, but you'll need to validate those seperately.

Depending on your OS, you might want to just add as many US IP blocks as you can find to your firewall. It looks like there's a list here, but it'd be worth validating it against other sources too.
