Re: VPN and DNS Nonsense

Yeah I only d/l kids films anyway - then close the torrent once it's done. Hardly amazing security but not been hit in the 6 years or how long i've used it

Re: VPN and DNS Nonsense

I happen to have a VPS - so I use that with rtorrent - never had any DCMAs.
I d/l at ethernet speeds... then download back down from there to the home server to view on the TV. It does need a lot of maintenance though.
So yeah it's not perfect as anything would lead right back to me.

Another thing with DNS is propagation.

which is still, while rambling, is still the best video I've ever seen about DNS.

Re: DNS and shit [WIP]

I just realised that this hasn't really needed updating in the last 7 years. the only thing I would add is that you can do things like this: $ dig @ns1.cloudflare.com wuxmedia.xyz +short 172.67.181.250 104.21.80.130 Which is to say that you can enquire about certain records from any DNS resolver... ...
