It apprears that NextDNS has removed No Google, No Facebook, and other blocklist without notifying users. One person said the NSA blocklist was also down. The company had made no responses to complaints on the community server when I checked earlier. Crickets…

I noticed Android and Linux being unable to access the app and web interface to confirm connections, starting some time on November 4th. I was able to switch DNS providers on Android and switch back, after which NextDNS seemed to work. On Linux however, systemd confirmed it was enabled but it went right to google’s webpage with no block.

If you’re on NextDNS, go check your domain filters ASAP. I switched to RethinkDNS, and it’s been decent so far. What is everyones preferred solution?

    Trump was the straw that broke the camels back for me too. I got off Facebook in 2012 and went back to promote my bands. When people start protecting and funding pedophiles and fascists, I’m checking out. It’s a lifestyle change for sure, but I regret nothing. I’ll take my $900 mid-grade Fairphone without the bells and whistles and be happy.

    I got a OpenWRT router and some servers I have not set up yet. Bought a few Pis last night to host Pi Holes too. Just wish I had local buddies to nerd with and make our own internet with antennas and tell these fascists to get fucked and host it all myself. I still can but am lonely without nerd friends. People I know never know the meanings of the words I use so I quit trying and just learn on my own.

      So I was using pihole with unbound, unbound was pointed at CIRA. So I thought my my stuff was secure, @randombullet@programming.dev pointed some things out to me so I spent some time trying to learn what ODoH was and a few minutes learning that unbound does not support ODoH, it does not support DoH, but it does support DoT. DNS over HTTPS was not new to me so I did not need to spend time learning what it was but unbound does not support it, DNS over TLS was new to me but unbound does support it. As a Canadian who has three different static IP addresses and currently 2 different .ca domains CIRA knows stuff about me but I am currently still cool with their up to 24 hour logging of my DNS requests, it is just my ISP knowing that I do not use port 80 or 443 for out going stuff as all my DNS requests go out through port 853.
