#nextdns

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

A nice touch in #NextDNS is the graph showing #GAFAM dominance of your #DNS lookups.

As part of #degoogle strategy - this is really helpful. Google was over 20% a month ago. #Microsoft I'll tackle another day as that's currently pretty much required by my employer.

Much of the traffic to these orgs is actually blocked by NextDNS in its role to restrict tracking, ads etc.

As with the other analytics provided - I'd like to be able to dig a bit deeper than is already possible.

Finally got around to flashing #OpenWrt on my Linksys wrt32x router. I've gotten by with the stock firmware until now, but the ability to run regular Cron jobs on my router to keep my linked IP between #NextDNS and #no-IP up to date is pretty cool. What tips do people have for me?

@suyleeva Ja. Nutze ich seit über 6 Monaten statt mozilla firefox, seitdem firefox neben anderem auch noch für sein eigenes Werbenetzwerk tracked / Daten sammelt. Läuft gut und zuverlässig. Ab und zu stört das standardmäßige noscript addon. Blendet man am Besten in der Browserleiste ein, bei der ein oder anderen Seite muss man es deaktivieren.

Zudem nutze ich #mullvadvpn um etwas anonymer zu sein und #nextdns um allgemein #tracking und speziell google, meta und x zu blocken.
