Windows Server environment. Some of my users need to connect to a third party site that has a long, complicated URL along the lines of 19823982.app.whatever.sample/account I want to make life easier for them and give them a simple alias they can use. Do I create a forward lookup zone that references their name servers … Read More “Creating an alias for local users to connect to a complicated URL on another site” »

My home network has been getting swapped with an insane amount of queries that originate from my 4K Google Chromecast with Google TV- specifically Netflix domains that after researching are used for tracking and analytical origins. Now I blocked these on my PiHole but they make up 40% of my blocked DNS queries because they … Read More “Typically do Abuse@ email address’s respond to complaints regarding DNS queries to my home network? Sent an email to the address registered to ichnaea-web.dradis.netflix.com but no response yet, even sent to the domain admin.” »

We use a local network DNS server (nxfilter) where I can log clients connecting from there IP. Now we have Windows PC’s using a Domain Controller but we still want to use nxfilter. I’m told the Windows clients must point there DNS to the DC not nxfilter. Now I can only see requests from the … Read More “Transparent Local DNS and a Windows Domain Controller” »

Sorry if this is an incredibly naive question. I’ve bought a domain name from a registrar (in particular, rom [domain.com](domain.com)). I have not bought any hosting. Instead, I have an intel NUC and I want to host myself, on that. I thought I’d start with a really simple hello world site but couldn’t get it … Read More “Bought a domain to host myself, and rather confused about DNS. Am I right that I should edit / add to the records (on the control panel on the registrars site) a record ‘www’ (or similar) of my own computer’s ip address? Am I misunderstaning?” »

Hi, let me know if IM not at the right place for that…. I wonder which dns encryption method would be the best, I use open wrt firmware on my router and I see : dnscrypt-proxy2 – Dns over Https proxy – unbound DoT- stubby- smartDns etc I guess all are good but hard to … Read More “best encryption method” »

Hi, just a quick clarification. I correctly setup and tested an internal unbound server supporting both plain old DNS and DoT. How can i advertise this capability to clients, applications and such? DHCP or radvs come to mind but after a brief google search i found out there’s no official support for this (yet). But … Read More “Clarification – DoT and clients” »

Anyone know about this? I started using it to block porn, but now I have run into a problem, I use LBRY desktop app, and I finally wanted to make an account, so I could comment on videos, but the email confirmation goes to lbry.tv, and OpenDNS blocks it cause it says it has pornography, … Read More “OpenDNS Family Shield” »

This seems to be a pretty basic question, but I find very few real life answers to it on the Internet, so let me try here. We’re in a pretty typical enterprise, with company.com as our domain. The Internet-facing (public) DNS infrastructure is completely decoupled from the internal Active Directory one, but both are company.com. … Read More “DNSSEC and Split DNS?” »

Hello, this will definitely make the most “expert” ones on the topic cringe a little but ive always been fascinated by both coding and informatic/tech in general, and recently ive been trying to make my extremely average fiber internet perform better, (100mb/download 18/upload), more specifically changing a few router options and, here we are, DNS. … Read More “Extremely noob question about DNS addresses” »
