@pony The easiest way to shut down the Internet completely is to force the ISPs to block all connections, but not all ISPs may listen. The easiest way to survive a DNS shutdown is by remembering "8.8.8.8". That's the URL to Google's DNS server. Assuming Google won't have to shut their servers down, you should be able to configure your system to use that as your DNS server (how depends on your OS) and everything should work just fine. I think Tor also uses IP addresses, so if you have Tor installed you should be able to survive by browsing through Tor. You could also use something like Freenet to browse an "alternative" Internet, but how much that would help in such a situation is not clear. In any rate, I'm afraid they'll see you're still using the web and try to hunt you down. I can censor what I visit using Tor, but that doesn't mean I won't generate any traffic at all. I'm not sure how to make sure you're safe in that case.
