• Best device for a kid to learn how to code?

  Thinkpad 431s if you are on a low budget. It's the best performing cheap option, IMO. Obviously block access to internet nonsense. I just started using ControlD.com and it works like a charm. Or, if you have the time, make the PiHole and your Home Lab & Network Lab a project that you two build together. Make the command line kid friendly, like using bat instead of cat and LSD instead of ls and so on. Colors are... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months 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 / 10 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 / 12 months ago

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

  I've used ControlD [https://controld.com/] for this and liked it. Does anyone know how NextDNS compares to it? ControlD has worked well for me, outside a few UI complaints I have with their site. I do have some concerns with trust as I don't know much about ControlD, and I'd rather use the most trusted service for this. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Firefox and ads on iOS

  Firefox is my daily in macOS, iOS and Windows. It is great and I love the syncing. The #1 companion on the desktop is uBlock Origin but on iOS I really miss an adblocker. As a workaround I block adds via DNS with Control D (https://controld.com/) but I prefer an extension on the phone. The Firefox Focus app on iOS does not sync with my Firefox account so that's not an option either. Sure, I could use a different... Source: about 1 year ago

• r/ProgrammerHumor will be shutting down

  I just started using this service: https://controld.com/ $20 a year and acts as an ad-blocker too. NextDNS is another one. It's nice you don't need to install anything (other than configuring DNS). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I need some help please. New to VPN.

  Lastly, there is Control D which is a smart DNS service from the same company. If you are using your VPN less for privacy and more for getting different IP locations, it might be a better choice. For example it has a BBC iPlayer service and you can just select which country you want to appear as being in. It also has all of the functionality of Windscribe's ROBERT, if you're into that.
