• Are there any work arounds for the Netflix new "household" system?

  How you connect to your modem will depend on the device you are using, but for windows laptops as an example you download the OpenVPN program and input your modem details there, much like you would any other vpn service. I think there would be some guides on youtube. https://openvpn.net/. Source: 11 months ago

• Can i use PFSense to control incoming user connections (without a vpn?)

  I just started playing with CloudConnexa for remotely managing my second pFSense. Really nice and is free for up to 3 concurrent users. https://openvpn.net. Can also self-host OpenVPN access server with a free 2 concurrent license. Source: 12 months ago

• Is the 7spotlight Markle family interview airing now? Is anyone watching and can provide comment? 👀📺

• Is it possible for a sysadmin to block only some packets from a VPN connection ?

  I too haven't used the client-nat directive in some years (I currently implement 1:1 NAT with pfsense to access my network because I'm too lazy to change the networks subnet from the default) so I decided to retest and it does appear that OpenVPN Connect clients do not properly support the client-nat directive but the traditional OpenVPN server/clients still do. I've just tested this on OpenVPN 2.6.3 Server,... Source: about 1 year ago

• All Fritz Box modems have been hijacked

  Block 45.76.93.104 and 2001:19f0:6c00:1b0e:5400:4ff:fecd:7828 at the firewall if possible. Ensure that DNS-over-HTTP (DoH) is enabled where it can be. Set upstream DNS servers that block malware, such as 1.1.1.2 or NextDNS Delete "fritz.box" from the domain search list in DNS settings. Educate your parents to be cautious about directly typing domain names or searching from the OmniBox. https://nextdns.io/... - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago

• Ask HN: Which tools are the best for internet safety for kids?

  I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS. Affiliated with none, and have decided to subscribe to all three to... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: Which tools are the best for internet safety for kids?

  I really like NextDNS. It's very cheap ($1.99/mo) and has an app (macOS/Windows/iOS/Android) that provides filtering/monitoring on the go, even when they aren't at home. https://nextdns.io. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

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

  Okay but NextDNS' own homepage says it "blocks ads and trackers on websites and in apps" - https://nextdns.io. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• 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 / 3 months ago
