DNS isn't enough here if the host IPs are still the same, in that instance a VPN service would be the only

Let's say I have the domain name "mariosnhlstreams.com" and point it to an IP: 200.100.50.5
Using ISP DNS servers: the ISP can just block resolution of the domain name mariosnhlstreams.com and also block routing to the host IP of 200.100.50.5.
Using alternative DNS servers: the ISP blocking the domain name has no effect as I can resolve the domain name to a host IP, but the host IP 200.100.50.5 is still blocked by the ISP. No dice.
What would need to happen is 1. subscribers would need to use a DNS provider that doesn't block host resolution, and 2. mariosnhlstreams.com would need to change their host IP for their site.
The domain TTL could be set short enough that the record updates every 5 minutes or so and then the site operator would need to have IPs they could quickly swap between. That way you get around the DNS blocking and the IP addresses are still routable. But of course, each stream that new IP will get dynamically blocked.
