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.

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.

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

According to #Controld #Burp seems to be 'AI Malware'

#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.

It's now possible to use ControlD DNS with Tailscale https://www.andreagrandi.it/posts/using-controld-dns-with-tailscale/

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.

While getting my Tailnet switched over to using #ControlD, I stumbled across a new-ish #Tailscale command: `tailscale drive`.

"Taildrive allows you to persistently share folders with other users and devices on your Tailscale network."

Sounds like fun!

How does #iCloud Private Relay work?

You can search and find a few articles (mostly high level) or read directly from this Apple paper https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/iCloud_Private_Relay_Overview_Dec2021.PDF

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.

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

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?

In case you missed it, #Mullvad now has their own free #DoH service with #ads #malware #trackers etc. blocking. I’ve been using #AhaDNS and #ControlD for the longest time and recently switched. Pretty good so far! https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls

Moving from #NextDns to #controlD.
Saturday, 6 am.
#networksecurity

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)

With today's highlighted deal, why not take back control on your online activities!

@jmjt my accounts been completely scrubbed but not deleted. The intent was always to delete it at month end when #Apollo dies.

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