Information about DNS and network

As many of you will know, the UK government and internet providers don’t value internet freedom.

Unfortunately I am not the most able, but wold somebody be able to help me prevent Sky from bypassing my DNS. I’m fed up with their filters.

Somewhat of a DNS shower thought. What if we could (we can’t) redesign URLs?

The protocol or scheme (first part) can completely override how the rest of the string is handled. Schemes generally don’t have a dot in them so they don’t need a special separator like ://.

Currently to handle a URL, a reader needs to start from the far left, then the far right, and work back to the left. So we could fix the order to follow the hierarchy.

The DNS record itself, or the communicating connection, could declare whether the IP address will use https or http (as is done today with the HTTP Strict-Transport-Security response header). So it doesn’t make sense for the scheme to declare the wire protocol – the dns scheme would just define where the resource is.

I’m looking for an open dns or something similar to block access to inappropriate websites. Does anyone know of something that will work like an open dns on a WiFi router but for all phones on a mobile network plan?

Hi,

I’m just starting to learn networking and I’d like to make myself clear about something.

What will happen if every single DNS server stops working? If i type some site’s ip instead of domain will i still be able to communicate with the web server behind that ip?

As much as i know DNS’s are just telephone books for computers.

I want my website to have a couple uppercase letters, however when I add the dns name the way I want it. It still defaults to lowercase on ping or when you browse to it by URL. Do I have to update something in IIS to change the name format the way I want it?

I am getting an error with pointing a cname to a noip address. Basically something is happens – in that I get the below error:

my setup is as follows:

• I am hosting an ASP.NET application on my local network with noip updating the ip successfully to (not my real hostname) mydom.ddns.net using a “port 80 redirect” to port 8080 on my IIS server
• on godaddy I have my own custom domain. I’ve set a cname page.mycustomdom.com

If I go directly to mydom.ddns.net, then the webapp loads just fine, however if I use page.mycustomdom.com I get the image in the above screenshot.. which is not part of my application and I have no idea where this is coming from.

​

Using host page.mycustomdom.com command in terminal shows me the right pointers as well. Any ideas what may be going wrong?

My country is blocking certain webpages and usually I am able to get around this with the DNS settings to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 or 1.1.1.1 but this isn’t working. I’ve cleared cache on my browser and flushed my DNS through CMD using ipconfig and restarted my PC as well but no dice. Suggestions? I don’t want my country telling me what I can or can’t consume on the net.
