I was going to use this email message as a reference in some documentation I'm writing, but this email is not in the mail archive, or at least I can't find it there. The archive seems to contain no messaged from 8/8/2018 through 8/16/2008.

Totally not interested in using anyone's resolvers but my own. Ding! 1. apt-get install unbound 2. sed -i '1s;^;nameserver 127.0.0.1\n;' /etc/resolv.conf 3. chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf Just kidding about step #3. If using dhclient, place into dhcpd.conf: option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1 Oh, and 4: echo 'Admins are reminded that using your own recursive nameserver' echo 'will prevent captive Wifi portals from hijacking your DNS long echo 'enough to send you to a signon Web pages, and also some rare echo 'and deliberately misshapen networks block outbound access to echo 'user-specified external nameservers, to better control the user.' Above is IMO elementary self-protection and ought to be routine. Like, y'know, offered by the OS installer. ;-> _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng -- SteveT Steve Litt September 2018 featured book: Quit Joblessness: Start Your Own Business http://www.troubleshooters.com/startbiz _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
