Genuine question: won't having your own—or independant—DNS server completely bypass that block?

Depends on how they implement the censorship:

# poison the DNS: you can use another unaffected DNS to bypass.

# ISP level or country level content filtering (similar to the GFW of China): you need a VPN that won't be blocked, and make sure the exit node is unaffected. (also the police won't care?)

# take down the server: finger cross that they serve the content from safe location.
