Re: "Cisco has decided to leave france": (https://web.archive.org/web/20250614052849/https://support.o...)

  Effective June 28, 2024: Due to a court order in France issued under Article L.333-10 of the French Sport code and a court order in Portugal issued under Article 210-G(3) of the Portuguese Copyright Code, the OpenDNS service is not currently available to users in France and certain French territories and in Portugal. We apologize for the inconvenience.
  
  July 23, 2024: Cisco's OpenDNS service has been reactivated in Portugal and is currently available following a decision by the Lisbon Court of Appeal.

It's laudable that Quad9 want to fight censorship, but they too could block French requests in this way. Maybe redirect to an HTTP/HTTPS IP that tells users about the issue and gives them contacts to their government representatives?
