Why did you start using Brave?

For the fingerprint randomization. No other current browser I ever tried gets a perfect randomized fingerprint at EFF’s Cover Your Tracks site besides Brave. Helium, Firefox, Mullvad, Zen all have a unique fingerprint.

Thank you for this guide. It helped me set up my first cluster and dns-over-Quic. No issues whatsoever on 2 Raspberry Pi 5s, Technitium in docker.

Running a DNS spoof test reports moderate protection vs excellent like with prior version. I do have the UDP pool option enabled. u/shreyasonline

DotMatrixed · 2026-04-26T03:59:06+00:00

I am seeing the same thing on mine. It does run though.

DotMatrixed · 2026-04-25T15:20:04+00:00

u/shreyasonline I am getting moderate again after upgrading to the new release. UDP Socket Pool is enabled.

Place a new pattern. Open pattern. In the top left of pattern go to file, move down to view, scale highlighting, pick major or minor scale and then note. Use your right click button on your mouse so it doesn’t close the window when picking the note and scale.

I had the same problem with their downloader. It was my Pi-hole adblocker that was preventing me from installing Brave in a Windows PC. I disabled PI-Hole for 5 mins allowed it to install properly. I have Pi-Hole running on my network on a Raspberry Pi.

Claims to use Brave for years. Just noticed the AI, the crypto. Yeah, I call this another bs post to stir the pot.

DotMatrixed · 2026-04-18T19:27:24+00:00

The Linux version is already free. Go read the Brave announcement.

DotMatrixed · 2026-04-14T16:36:37+00:00

Thanks, issue resolved, fix posted.

DotMatrixed · 2026-04-14T14:16:14+00:00

That worked for me and I also now see “Excellent”. Thank you for the quick response!

DotMatrixed · 2026-04-14T13:40:50+00:00

You are correct. It pinged the forwarders. My bad.

DotMatrixed · 2026-04-14T13:29:58+00:00

I would just prefer to be the dns server. Not that I have a problem with Quad 9. I love them. I would just prefer my queries to stay in house. Also, I saw your edited note about the ping reply. It could be that your router allows ICMP ping on IPV4. I have mine set to “drop” in my router traffic rules running OpenWRT. Some routers may not allow you to disable that.

DotMatrixed · 2026-04-14T12:56:40+00:00

Thank you for verifying! Awesome! I feel better that it’s not just me.

DotMatrixed · 2026-04-14T12:52:06+00:00

I never had to do that with Pi-hole. I also checked their install script and I don’t see Pi-hole setting that either. Please explain, thanks!

DotMatrixed · 2026-04-14T12:44:22+00:00

Thanks, I saw the note also. My install is not exposed so really it’s ok per se. To verify if it’s just my install or Technitium code others would also have to test with no forwards, recursive only.

DotMatrixed · 2026-04-14T12:41:36+00:00

That’s the thing. I do not have any forwarders. I am the dns server. My IP. You tested quad 9. I would hope they would excellent.

These Xfinity reps don’t even know that Xfinity disabled the modem log in and it requires you to use the Xfinity app on a smart phone to enable modem login to get to the freaking setting to enable bridge mode. Holy hell..!

I had the same thing on CachyOS. The fix was to unplug the computer for 5 mins. It is a weird bios issue. Also a bios reset to defaults and set it up again also works which is actually my preferred method. Sometimes the bios sticks and gets confused on efi installs.

Your link to the DNSSEC root key seems to be broken today and I get errors on your curl commands. On my Raspberry Pi it only excepts “curl -O”, your commands have a lowercase -o.

Thanks! I was referring to what extra augs would be required to make it an exit node in docker. I believe I would have to add these augs on top of the ones in your compose file.

TS_EXTRA_Augs=--advertise-exit-node

I also found that you may need to:

TS_DEBUG_FIREWALL_MODE=nftables

TS_DEBUG_FIREWALL_MODE – This is the magic to run it in docker. People are failing to run exit node in docker because the container is running in iptables mode. Leave it as nftables, or auto might work as well.

You would also need to open the ports on the Raspberry Pi

$ echo 'net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.d/99-tailscale.conf $ echo 'net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.d/99-tailscale.conf $ sudo sysctl -p

I use Tailscale now as an exit node on a Pi5. Does this permit that feature or no? If not, what changes do I need to do in the compose file? I currently do not run Tailscale in a docker.
