• Ask HN: Non-duopoly smart phone in Sweden?

  Sailfish OS is a non-duopoly option. There are community builds for a wide range of devices, and official licenses which support a smaller number of devices but include extras including an Android compatibility subsystem so you can run Android apps which don't have Google dependencies (ie, a majority of them). https://sailfishos.org/ Lineage OS offers a Google-free Android operating system that also runs on a... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Odd DNS behavior

  This seems to work, except when it doesn't. If I run an extended test at dnsleaktest.com from my laptop, it shows I'm only using NextDNS. But if I run it from my iPad I get a bunch of IPv4 AT&T DNS servers returned. I have verified that my iPad is configured to only use the RB5009 as its DNS server. Can anyone tell me why or how it might be picking up all these other DNS servers? Source: 8 months ago

  On my Windows PC and my ios devices, if I connect them to the separate wifi, they have internet access through such gateway (checking it with dnsleak.com and dnsleaktest.com ); but my two Android phones (Xiaomi Poco F1 and Mi10T pro), on the same wifi connection have no internet access. Strange. I did check their ip address, dns address, they all use the same subnet and same dns address as on my Windows and iOS... Source: 8 months ago

  Route dnsleaktest.com 255.255.255.255 I suspect that there is some DNS leakage which is giving my location away to the streaming service. Is there some way to stop the leakage but still have specific URLs that should only use vpn? Source: 10 months ago
