• Information Security Best Practices

  Automate everything. Use a password manager, enable automatic updates, use DNS malware filtering at router level (Free with https://quad9.net ). Source: 3 months ago

• Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer

  Depends on your region and what sites you're using. I live in the middle of nowhere far from civilization, and 1.1.1.1 returns terrible IPs for many sites including google.com (which pings at 350-400 ms if you resolve it through 1.1.1.1, but at 90-100 ms if you're using any other resolver). They do it because they block EDNS0 in order to protect your privacy or something like that. So I use 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9 in... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• 96 ms to a DNS server OK?

  9.9.9.9 is run by Quad9. They’re more privacy oriented, afaik. Source: 8 months ago

• is this dns hijacked?

• Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking

• Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking

  I used Pi-Hole, then went to NextDNS, then to AdGuard DNS, tinkered with AdGuard Home, and currently testing Control-D. They are all actually pretty good, similar features, and it has become just a matter of personal choice. In all fairness, when I have some time and can invest in decent hardwares, I might go back to AdGuard Home with one of the paid services as backup for travel, and when for the other family... - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking

  I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.

• Ask HN: Unblockable Google Search Ads?

  I first used Safari on Windows around 2006. Put me off forever. You just need Firefox and the extensions that mean ads are never seen. That said, take a look at https://nextdns.io. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
