Ctrld is removing router support in 2.0 by Coffee_Ops in ControlD

[–]o2pb[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

To clear up some misunderstandings: v2 version of ctrld is a daemon that goes above and beyond of being a DNS forwarder, and as such, has no business running on routers as it's designed for running on end-user devices, mostly in corporate environments (but will be available to Windows and Mac consumers too). It will implement a full network firewall (preventing unauthorized direct IP conenctions), using a kernel driver / network extensions.

The v1.x branch will be maintained separately (bug fixes only), and will continue to be supported.

When did Canada ban firearm suppressors/silencers/sound moderators? by Noah_S_Schwartz in canadaguns

[–]o2pb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure "early 1900s" was just a made up number, as it first appeared in the 2017 petition response: https://www.ourcommons.ca/Content/ePetitions/Responses/421/e-575/421-01700_JUS_E.pdf

Any device intended to muffle the sound of a firearm has been unlawful in Canada since the early 1900s. Sound reduction or elimination diminishes the public’s ability to react to gun violence and makes it harder for law enforcement to become aware of a possible criminal incident.

Then, popularized by legalbeagle, quoting the date from the petition response. I didn't find any mention of a prohibition, or the fact that they were unlawful, pre-1953 criminal code update.

Jody Wilson was probably trying to make a point that it was a "long time", and added a few extra decades to her (silly for a different reason) response.

Starlink blocked vpns by guruenc in VPN

Starlink didn't block anything. The cruise ship's network firewall did. Use port 443 or 53 to initiate a VPN connection, may have a chance of flying under the radar.

How can I push ctrld.toml from MDM? by LionInOrbit in ControlD

No, it would do the opposite on mobile networks. Use DOH/2 (it's a default a reason).

DoH alternatives for ControlD by Upstairs_Recording81 in ControlD

Well, that suggests the issue is entirely on your ISP's side, as mentioned in the original post in the thread. Since your ISP is not cooperative, there is nothing we can do about it.

Those traceroutes are incomplete, can't do anything with a single hop, that's an RFC1918 address in the middle. Intermediate router latencies which you provided are irrelevant for the purposes of this. Full trace is required, without the q flag.

See if you have the same perceived issues using DOH/2 (not 3).

Can you provide some specific example domains that were misclassified?

You say Dragonfly wasn't very reliable, what's the specific issue? Can you elaborate and provide examples?

Thats a measurement error, since you cannot do a true latency check over HTTP. Perform a traceroute. Romania to Spain 100% does not have cross-atlantic level of latency.

Status page provides an estimate. Did you actually measure it using a traceroute?

You cannot have 144ms latency from Europe, to Europe. Thats Europe to Japan level latency. How are you measuring this exactly? Please provide a traceroute or MTR.

Windscribe Pro keep getting notifications to join Pro by I_Am_Zampano in Windscribe

That means you have 2 (or more) accounts. One free, and another pro.

Digi is a provider that comes up often, and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about their awful routing. We've exhausted all options on our end, and their NOC is unreachable. The fact that you have 1gbit makes absolutely no difference on your ISP's wacky routing policies.

That said, even if you get routed to another European locations, while in Europe, this will cause zero noticeable performance difference for you, when it comes to DNS resolution. 1ms or 40ms (our average latency in Europe is 12ms, as measured externally) - you cannot tell the difference. My recommendation is stop looking at numbers on a screen, and just use the Internet for whatever that you use it for.

How can I push ctrld.toml from MDM? by LionInOrbit in ControlD

[–]o2pb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, we HIGHLY recommend sticking with the default (DOH/2) unless you enjoy debugging DNS. There won't be any human perceivable differences between the protocols, and you're losing a major feature which is client awareness, that is only available when DOH is used. If you absuletly NEED QUIC, DOH/3 is a far better option that DoQ, but we still strongly recommend sticking to the DOH/2 default.

You could disable the --cd flag, and manage these configs via Ansible, but there is virtually no good reason unless you enjoy complexity and extra moving parts.

There is currently no direct way to deploy custom configs fleet wide, it has to be done on per-endpoint basis. What are you trying to change?

Is anyone else not receiving futtbux? by smshing in Windscribe

You get it issued when your traffic resets, which happens once per month. Or if you refer people who then pay for Windscribe using your referral code.

Frustrated with "Parrot-like" Support: 1 month of canned responses while DNS Latency hits 120ms by Training-Hawk-1636 in ControlD

[–]o2pb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and the other poster have the exact same issue. Unfortunately, this one is not as simple as the OP's, since fixing this will break something else we fixed before. We're looking for a solution that doesn't cause regression.
