  1. If you care about privacy, you know that standard "safety" tools often trade your data for protection.

    Using WPA3 encryption and a custom DNS like OpenDNS or Cloudflare can shield your kids from 90% of malicious domains without selling your browsing habits.

    However, there is still a way for "ad-trackers" to build a profile on your child.

    I’ve detailed the workaround in our latest technical guide:

  7. Manchmal muss ich echt schmunzeln:
    Da wird gegen ein #illegales #Portal geklagt, was ja richtig ist, nur ist das völlig erfolglos. Die #Provider sperren den #DNS Eintrag auf ihren Servern und das wars. Die Seite ist weiterhin da. Wer allerdings #opendns & co nutzt als dns #Server in seinem #Router bekommt von der Sperre nichts mit. Wenn man was ändern will muss man die Betreiber ausfindig machen und die Server abschalten.

  21. CW: re: #infosec SecuredDNS🤝👉☣️ #YIL

    Last week I finished logging #OpenDNS being used to block #GMail login's.

    Put simply OpenDNS would block connections TO mail.google.com via DNS. I logged this over a 72+hr period btw. 😅

    Luckily all these dumb DNS things caught the attention of several ppl at #Cisco.

    Stay frosty out there when #Gmail goes brrrrrr 👉🥶

    Oder hat jemand einen Tipp für andere, verläßliche öffentliche rekursive Resolver? DNSSEC ist zwingend.

    in short, when Government agencies insist a DNS provider block (or worse poison) the resolver for a given pirate site, companies have responded in different ways

    OpenDNS = Would rather stop serving an entire country than capitulate

    Cloudflare = Blocks the IP but gives an explicit error message stating that it is being forced to do so.

    Google DNS = Complete & total submission, DNS won't resolve, leaves customers in the dark.
