• Instagram DM only app

  Like I said. It nextdns(nextdns.io) you can configure everything in this webpage. And follow the step based on your devices(in android <12 then use IP nextdns provided. If it blocked. You can use intra and use DoH or if android >13 just copy DoH option from nextdns). In privacy>blocklist, you need trial and error. As I dont remember what list I use. And I also use many multiple adsblock+privacyblock. But dont... - Source: Reddit / 4 days ago

• Trying to get router to block ALL porn, but it ignores everything I do. What am I doing wrong?

  I use nextdns and force all dns from firewall so if any user sets their dns manually thr router still forwards it all to nextdns. They have a frew plan for 300000 queries which is enough for most home users. I pay for the business one for work and works great. https://nextdns.io/. - Source: Reddit / 9 days ago

• Is the wifi/ethernet offered by Universites completely safe from tapping?

  Change your dns (nextdns or 1.1.1.1 ~ more stable and lesser latency, use their warp if using for circumvention of in university blocked websites although a vpn qould be much better), use a reputed vpn like mullvad or proton preferably mullvad. - Source: Reddit / 8 days ago

• Anyway to ban certain streaming sites using Nest Wifi Pro? Ie. ban Youtube universally

  If you are reasonably technically savvy, I'd look in to Pi-Hole But.. I will warn, there will be a bit of a challenge learning how to navigate having all the other stuff being blocked too by pi-hole (like the top 5 results of every google search because of ads, etc..) So, YMMV. It was pretty eye-opening how much "crap" my machines were talking to. - Source: Reddit / about 20 hours ago

• Microsoft Server 2012 R2 Performance issue

  If you want a bit more control over DNS, you can configure DNS to use a forwarder. You could deploy another DNS server, such as a Pi-Hole appliance, and use that as a forwarder. - Source: Reddit / 2 days ago
