You can upgrade the uBlock blocking mode to something better than what you are currently using, the Raymond Hill(or just gorhill)'s wiki explains how to do it. Https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode. Source: about 1 year ago
My mind immediately went to uMatrix or uBlockOrigin. Just want to note that, so far as I can tell, this is not associated with the author (gorhill) of those other tools: https://github.com/gorhill. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
I was feeling the same, just yesterday. Nothing but respect for gorhill. Source: about 2 years ago
Today though, I'd recommend skimming through uBlock Origin's Github readme: https://github.com/gorhill. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
I think trying to piggy-back upon the success of Gorhill's uBlock and uMatrix with your naming, is a bit snidey. https://github.com/gorhill. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
Firmware's like Asuswrt-Merlin or OpenWRT can support dynamic-dns, or you can do like I do and run something like OPNsense in an x86 VM with a NIC passed through, or buy an inexpensive firewall appliance (up to 500mbps/1gbps/10gbps). Source: 5 months ago
The easiest solution is to buy your own router, set it up, disable the router functionality on the Fritzbox 7590 and plug your router into it. It'll be cheaper and easier than a Cisco Firewall, but if you want to go the dedicated firewall route then I would recommenced OPNsense. Source: 5 months ago
BSDs may not have a significant presence on desktops, but they're well known in the networking world for their reliability. They also were the foundation used to build OSes for specific applications. OpnSense and XigmaNAS, for example, are two excellent FreeBSD based applications aimed at firewalling/security and NAS/services. https://opnsense.org/ https://xigmanas.com/xnaswp/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
For switches? OpenWrt supports a few models toward the lower end, and SONiC support a bunch at the higher-end datacenter ToR market, but none of these options are SME production-ready like Linux servers or OPNsense firewalls. Source: 11 months ago
That’s a stupid policy, and it looks like one of my UDMs is defective. I’m an idiot for not just buying good quality open boxes and putting https://opnsense.org/ on them. 🤦🏻♂️. Source: 11 months ago
