Great now I want coffee.

I already had one cup, oh well, today's is times two, lol.

@jerry Thank you Jerry.

Hey, I watched The Boys show yesterday and man… wow.

@digisho Yes I understood your message., I guess I got sidetrack on my point.

I was referring to the people that take out their 2nd Amendment card to state their message when it says right there in the Constitution that it should be well regulated.

With the exception of weapons of war that shouldn’t be on the hands or civilians… for people to be able to buy guns there is a need for a background check, mental health check, waiting period, etc. so guns wont fall on the wrong hands.

I’ve been gone for a while, so what did I missed?

#TheBoys show is back and #UmbrellaAcademy is almost back :)

@digisho
When people cite the 2nd. Amendment… “A Well Regulated Militia” they should understand that it means exactly that… “Well Regulated”

@adam @TheGibson

Man I need to check that group a little more. They seem pretty good.

As a token of appreciation I’ll leave here another song. Again, thanks.

DNS HIJACKING by thevpn.guru

To detect #DNS hijacking is by using the ping utility. If you ping a non-existent domain & it resolves, that’s a strong indicator that your ISP is hijacking your DNS traffic.

- Ping the hostname thevpnguru-dns-exposed.tld this should fail if it does actually return an IP address you are the victim of DNS hijacking.

- Change your DNS address on a device you use to 0.0.0.0 & 0.0.0.1 If your Internet still works & you can open up web pages your DNS traffic hijacked.

DNS & blocking bad traffic iOS

On #iOS, select a #DNS provider you trust, perhaps AdGuard, dismail or dnsforge, click install profile and install it. After you've installed the profile jump over to:

Settings → General → VPN and Network → DNS
and select the newly installed profile as your DNS.

You have now not only an encrypted DNS, but also an ad and malware blocker (depending on the DNS provider you've selected).
