Hi Robin,
As an activist myself, I have a website (https://alkasir.com), through
which I try to provide netizens and particularly activists in countries
with Internet censorship, with a tool to circumvent censorship. I also use
it to study and map website (domain, URL, and IP filtering) in countries
around the world. It would be ideal if my domain's information is kept
private so I could travel with ease and not get harassed or threatened in
some countries.
Best.
Sincerely,
Walid
