Experimenting with Alternate DNSs
Currently using CloudFlare: 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 2606:4700:4700::1111 2606:4700:4700::1001 Have set the router DNS as well as on devices (initially). Eventually I think the automatic should pick u...
For the LONGEST time I have used Norton ConnectSafe DNS... However, apparently (just now found out moments ago...) they are retiring the free service for users for no real reason. A lot of their routing products had those servers hard-coded in for DNS...
Looks like I am gonna have to find a similar DNS that works with Hughesnet. :(
With the way Hughesnet does things, most DNS services don't exactly work properly, especially ones like OpenDNS where you can customize things. I have always used DNS as a first basic line of defense in fighting malware threats, and ConnectSafe always worked nice in regards to that.
Norton is saying to use "Neustar" but I am hesitent, and BLEH. Someone shoot me.
So... I tried out Neustar, pleasantly surprised in how well it worked, but at the same time, they block far more than they admit to... They classify Torrent Trackers as Malicious/Warez/Hacking, which is a bit absurd.
I suppose Neustar is great for a basic family, or a school or something, but for me... Yeah.. NO THANKS!
Le'sigh.
