  1. @netzpolitik_feed Es wird Zeit für DNS Filter 😉 Wer es einfach haben will, nimmt z. B. #nextdns

    Update: Hier kam grad ein hilfreicher Hinweis rein, daß nextdns ggf. keine gute Idee ist, da ein US Konzern. Jetzt muss ich mich mal neu umsehen -> naw. teste ich #controld -> auch USA, also #pihole.

  2. After youtube and google now detection portals are flagged as a false positive by #controld :ablobcatpopcorn:

  3. #ControlD, wtf is wrong with you? I have the feeling that I do not want to extend my subscription!

  4. Switched dns to #controld. The number of blocked requests is a bit surprising.

    But it makes work much easier. My respect!

  5. Control D - The DNS service provider, as it turns out, is owned by the same people at, Windscribe VPN.

  6. In der Empfehlungsecke unter „Cloudspeicher“ habe ich Proton Drive hinzugefügt. Zudem habe ich die Kategorie „Werbe- und Trackingblocker“ um die cloudbasierten DNS-Filterdienste Control D und NextDNS erweitert. Auch die Kategorie „VPN“ wurde überarbeitet. 👇

  7. Cloudbasierte DNS-Filter als Schutzschild gegen unerwünschte Inhalte? Was sind die Vor- und Nachteile einer solchen Lösung, die neben Werbung auch schädliche Inhalte wie Phishing-Webseiten, Malware-Hosts oder unseriöse Informationsquellen blockieren. 👇

  8. Gisteren tijdens de papa-dag ook bezig geweest met #controld dns filtering. Met name voor de oudste zodat ie geen andere websites, etc kan bezoeken en voor me zelf om de reclame te filteren. Icm met #tailscale bevalt het goed! Nog over nadenken om ook mullvad-vpn er bij te doen maar vind 5euro p/mnd wel weer veel daarvoor eigenlijk

  9. #Malaysia is currently implementing #DNS Hijacking on known public DNS resolvers. Google, Cloudflare and Quad9 are confirmed affected. There have been reports that Adguard DNS is affected as well.

    Unencrypted DNS is affected, and there have been mixed reports of DoH/DoT being affected as well. Thankfully #ControlD isn't affected yet but its probably a matter of time.

    Need some #help on how to approach this. I can't afford a VPN subscription for my whole family.

  10. Pi-Hole v Control D v NextDNS on a home router

    I did some detailed speed testing and for my setup, a daemon on my home router, NextDNS was significantly faster. I posted all the results on my blog (link below):

    In summary:

    1) A Pi-Hole on the local LAN is fastest, but takes maintenance.

    2) If you have a simple configuration just putting the DNS address in your home routers menus, Control D and NextDNS seem similar in performance.

    3) If you want to run the daemon as a service on your router, NextDNS is MUCH faster than Control D. And NextDNS does local caching on the router. (Control D can supposedly be configured to do caching, but I couldn't get the config file to work.)

    4) NextDNS has an easier to use web control panel, but has fewer features.

  11. How does #iCloud Private Relay work?

    You can search and find a few articles (mostly high level) or read directly from this Apple paper apple.com/privacy/docs/iCloud_

    p.s: yes, it's supposed to work with custom #DoH like #NextDNS and #ControlD so if something doesn't work as expected, don't blame Apple first, but open a bug with these services.

  12. iCloud Private Relay is so useless and unreliable sometimes.

    In this screenshot you can see #ControlD status page, to check DNS latency, other info and also your own IP.

    As you can see #iCloud is successfully masking my ipv4 (you see the Cloudflare relay instead) but it’s failing to mask my ipv6.

    Is it always like that? No. If I disable and re-enable it, it will mask the ipv6 too 🤷🏻‍♂️

  13. This is the top list of domains blocked by ControlD on my Amazon FireTV.

    At the top of the list: logs.netflix.com

    Plot twist: I do NOT have a #Netflix subscription 🙄

    Also: the TV is off and this means that FireTV never turns off (very energy efficient, wow!)

    What the hell is it trying to communicate?

  14. Made the switch today from #NextDNS to #ControlD.

    The switch was not due to NextDNS not filtering my traffic, but that their iOS configurator no longer respected the “exclude ssid" option. I started a trial of ControlD and it just worked.

    Fast forward one day - I have now bought a 5 year deal on Stacksocial and added a config to the router.

    The NextDNS website still looks better, but ControlD appears to be more in active development (features and bugfixes)

  15. @[email protected] my accounts been completely scrubbed but not deleted. The intent was always to delete it at month end when dies.

    has however been filtered out of all my search results using and the domains also been blocked on
