• 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: 6 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 / 10 months ago

• 96 ms to a DNS server OK?

  9.9.9.9 is run by Quad9. They’re more privacy oriented, afaik. Source: 10 months ago

• University wifi

  Ask your university support desk? You can also try alternative DNSsuch as https://quad9.net . Source: 11 months ago

• is this dns hijacked?

  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? 👀📺

  If anyone is being blocked check out free OpenVPN. Source: about 1 year ago

• 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.
