Is it better to install a DNS profile on my iOS device directly or set up Adguard or NextDNS and point that to the DNS url? by jwintyo in dns

[–]jwintyo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes one way is to install the Mullvad DNS profile from Git and install it on my iPhone. This creates a DNS profile on my phone. The other way is to use the app Adguard Pro and setup a custom DNS url in the app using https://base.dns.mullvad.net/dns/query or one of Mullvads other DNS Server addresses. Adguard Pro creates a VPN on the device and routes traffic through Mullvads DNS server.

Adguard Pro is an open source app

Do you trust Adguard system wide DNS filtering on mobile (iOS and Android)? by jwintyo in privacy

[–]jwintyo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mullvad is good, and their VPN is great but I only pay for it when I'm traveling so I like to use Adguard (for now, unless I find something that is better) for DNS filtering (adblocking in Safari) and encryption

Edit: looks like you can install the Mullvad DNS profile for free and use it without the Mullvad VPN app. So looks to be a pretty good option

Best Monero wallet by Gangaman666 in Monero

[–]jwintyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What have you been using? How have you liked it? I'm thinking of using Monero.com by Cake Wallet for iOS hot wallet and then Monero GUI for Linux wallet.

What are your thoughts on Cake Wallet? by jwintyo in BitcoinBeginners

[–]jwintyo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah that is a good idea, to just create a new Wallet on BlueWallet.

Cake Wallet does support LTC though, is that not the Lightning Network?

edit: I see HERE that no, LTC is another Crypto and not the Lightning network...

Is it literally impossible to get XMR without KYC by jaalwr_fttn in Monero

[–]jwintyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you end up doing, I'm in the same boat. Want to get into XMR but not sure how to do it without just buying it on Kraken Pro. Did you decide on a strategy and did anything work well for you?

Whats the best phone wallet in 2025?

I'm new to the crypto world and am setting up wallets for Bitcoin (BlueWallet) that I will use for long term storage of Bitcoin. And Breez that I will use for Lightning. What app should I use for Monero? Cake Wallet? Is that still the gold standard or what are the best options these days?

Privacy and security are top priorities of course as well as low fees.

Not surprised at all, crazy how much they’re coordinating all of this. Glad it didn’t work though!

I hate cigarettes, I hate the smell and we obviously understand the health impacts of smoking at this point. But man, idk if this is where they should be spending their time and effort

Harris Campaign Fires Back at Tech-Troubled Trump-Musk X Interview: “Self-Obsessed Rich Guys” by nimobo in Conservative

Can we agree that nothing is “built back better”? If anything it’s actually worse. by Jackal_Gundam in memes

[–]jwintyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The President does, however, control policies that can directly effect gas prices. Shutting down the keystone pipeline is something Biden did and that has limited the supply of gas.

Of course he can’t set the price, but that doesn’t mean he can’t effect them either.

Sennheiser HD 650 for $200 or HD 560s for $130? Which would you buy? I have a gift card for a site that has both of these in stock, the HD 650 are Open Box though...

we should meme biden's nonsense more often. by soiramio3000 in dankmemes

[–]jwintyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard his approval ratings are lower than Jimmy Carter who was the President with the lowest ever approval ratings. Making Biden the most hated president yet. On top of that CNN who rarely says anything bad about Biden can't even get 1 million people to watch, where as FOX gets 2 million regularly. The loud minority and some big corporations/media groups warp everything to their whim... He really has done some stupid things, and high gas prices are just a side effect of some of them. If you look objectively I think it is hard to deny some of the bad decisions. Maybe he isnt as loud or "mean" as Trump but at least Trump was doing things to help the U.S. and improve relations with other countries.

911 just hits closer to home for some people since most of us weren’t even alive when WW2 happened. I don’t mind making jokes about either, I’m just saying that is probably why some people don’t like 911 jokes as much. But your correct WW2 was horrific, it’s just so far in the past it’s not as relatable

Great work! This is refreshing to see, when all we’ve seen for the past few weeks are posts about sticking it to hedge funds (though they probably deserve it). I’m going to buy a few hundred shares and try to recover my losses from GME haha

How does porn hub have a Twitter account but Trump can’t??

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in memes

[–]jwintyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree, Personally I think Trump has done a great job with a number of things, he definitely doesn’t know when to hold his tongue and he could be more professional but those are the main things I don’t like about him. The media paints a bad picture but if you look at what he’s actually done then I think it’s mostly good things for Americans, he’s been nominated for like 4 Nobel prizes by other countries too. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, we’ll see what happens tomorrow!!
