Apropos of nothing

If you are the techiest person in the house (and for many of you, this is not techy at all), today is a good day to build a pihole thanks to Google's new TLDs.

For the record, this straight up stopped Dad from getting computer viruses when coupled with the Ublock browser extension, so I will volunteer my time to get you set up. We will find an evening and do a Zoom call. I am serious.

Prerequisities:

Before you start, this will be way way easier if your router has a magic way to:

Set static IP addresses

Set a custom DNS server

If you can't do this, I'm not saying you're stuck, but there's some non-obvious failure modes and maybe it's time to buy a better router.

Parts:

Raspberry Pi 4B. 2GB if you just want to set and forget, 8GB if you want to do more things on this than just your pihole (Coughs in a MarioKart box) -> https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/

Spare USB-C charger if you don't have one already. I'm a fan of https://www.amazon.com/Argon-USB-C-Power-Supply-Switch/dp/B0919CQKQ8/ myself

A microSD card at least UHS class 3 or better. 32 is fine for just a pihole, I have a 512 in some of mine that I use for more stuff. https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/raspberry-pi-microsd-cards

Some method of flashing the card if you don't have one (Some come with SD to micro-SD adapters, if not a USB to SD/micro-SD adapter is about $10 off Amazon)

If you really feel like going nuts, go buy yourself an Argon case and then very very carefully never ever install the software for the fan that does nothing. The value is entirely in having a big giant brick that is self-cooling. If you want to play MarioKart, I would consider this a requirement. https://www.amazon.com/Argon-Raspberry-Aluminum-Heatsink-Supports/dp/B07WP8WC3V

Setup:

Do yourself a favor and ignore all the signs telling you to go get Raspbian and instead go grab an ISO of Ubuntu 64-bit using RPi Imager. Because Raspbian cannot be upgraded across version WHY U DO THIS

Download Rpi Imager, plug the microSD card into your computer,

Other General Purpose OS -> Ubuntu -> Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

So now you have an operating system on an SD card.

Assemble the case if you bought one, plug in the SD card, power supply, ethernet cable if you have one or mouse and (mini) HDMI cable if you don't. If you bought that Argon case, you can just plug a keyboard (server OS means no mouse gang; In this house, we use the Command Line) and HDMI cable into the Pi. Turn it on.

Gaining access

The end state of this is that your pi is:

Connected to the internet by cable or wifi

You can SSH to it (Also not scary)

If you plugged in an ethernet cable, once it's done booting (1-2 minutes?), you should be able to ssh to "ubuntu@<the IP of the system>". Look it up in your router. It may make sense to give the static IP NOW to keep it stable.

If you've never used SSH before, I think the standard is Putty on Window or you can just open a terminal in Mac. (And if you know enough Linux to have a Linux computer, why are you reading this?)

If you didn't plug it in, and need to setup the wifi, there's magic incantations to attach it to the wifi and to be quite blunt, I forget what they are.

Your username is ubuntu, your password is ubuntu and then it will ask you to make a new password. If you know the meaning of the phrase "keypair-based access", it may make sense to run `ssh-copy-id` at this point in time.

Router settings (part 1)

Give your new Pi a static IP address, and reboot your pi (as simple as typing in `sudo reboot`).

Open a new SSH session to the pihole on the new address.

Installing pihole

Open up an SSH session and

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

This is interactive. Answer the questions

When it's done, on your other computer, navigate to <the ip>/admin

Login with the password you just set. Router settings part 2

Give your new Pi a static IP address then point your router at that address

Set the DNS servers to the static IP

Then ensure you're blocking something. Anything.

Then do what you want to do. You'll probably need to whitelist some sites, blacklist some more, but the main thing is going to be "Adding more list of bad sites". Reddit has some lists.

And... enjoy.

/But seriously, there's some stuff to do for maintenance and things. I wasn't joking about the pair setup.

Finally got my MP5 to do this

That symbol circled in the upper left corner means the monitor is connected to a network. I finally got around to running an Ethernet cable for the monitor. Let me just say that running wires through any American house is a pain in the ass. Because of the way American houses are built you have your main floor and then you have the sub floor. There is a bit of a gap between the sub floor and the main floor, but most of the time you want to run the wire through the wall and into crawl space. So you end up having to drill through the wall, then through the subfloor and running a stranded (very flexible wire) through the wall then through a tiny hole in the subfloor is a huge pain in the ass. What I thought would be a 5 minute job turned into an hour job. And I’m not paying myself to do the job either. I’ve run wires through walls for people plenty of times because while I’m not a licensed electrician I can do electrical work and can actually do it better than most electricians. Anyway now the monitor can be in my bedroom and talk to my server in the basement that is running the Philips XDS software which is a windows application that acts as a small clinical network server allowing printing to my printer and keeping a database of recorded vitals. Interestingly though the monitor will force a first generation IPv4 address system on the network making the network use local IP addresses that start with 10.0 instead of the usual 192.168. This is because the Philips Intellivue monitors are setup by default to request a static IP address starting with that 10.0. A lot of legacy devices require that 10.0.x.x IPv4 address. By legacy devices I mean devices older than 20 years. While my monitor isn’t older than 20 years as I’ve mentioned before the Intellivue line is just and adaptation of the HP/Agilent Viridia line of monitors which has been around since the 80s. Funny thing is I’m currently taking classes to learn to become a machinist and I’ve inherited hundreds of thousands of dollars of machinist tools from my grandfather but it’s fun to show up to show up to class with tools stamped with Hewlett Packard Laboratories. HP labs was the division of HP that was in charge of medical equipment, scientific equipment, and electronics test equipment so some of those tools helped built prototype parts for the HP Viridia line of patient monitors and tons of other medical equipment made by HP. I’ve mentioned before that my grandfathers greatest contribution to medical technology was etching the silicon wafers for the custom integrated circuits in HP’s first ultrasound machine.

What types of proxy servers are available? Which one is best for you?

Today we're going to talk about proxy servers, which many people use for cross-border e-commerce, web crawling, and even everyday browsing. So how many types of proxy servers are there? And what are the characteristics of each type? Next for you to introduce one by one, by the way, to see which kind of proxy is more suitable for your needs.

1. HTTP proxy

HTTP proxy is the most common type of proxy server, which is mainly used to handle web browsing requests. It can help users hide their real IP addresses and access various HTTP websites.HTTP proxy works by receiving user requests, forwarding them to the target server, and then returning the response from the target server to the user.

· Application Scenarios: Web crawler, data crawling, web browsing, cross-region access to restricted websites.

· Advantages: simple, fast, can be used for HTTP protocol.

· Disadvantages: does not support encrypted connections, lower security.

2. HTTPS proxy

HTTPS proxy is similar to HTTP proxy, but it supports SSL encryption, which means you can securely access HTTPS websites. This proxy not only hides the IP, but also encrypts the transmitted data to prevent information from being stolen.

· Application Scenarios: Secure browsing, sensitive data transmission, encrypted internet connection.

· Advantages: supports encryption to ensure data security.

· Disadvantages: performance is slightly slower than HTTP proxy, configuration is a bit complicated.

3. SOCKS5 proxy

SOCKS5 proxy is a more advanced type of proxy, which not only supports HTTP and HTTPS, but also other protocols (such as FTP, P2P, etc.). The most important feature of SOCKS5 proxy is the flexibility and security of the transport layer, which not only bypasses the network limitations, but also effectively hides the user's IP.

· Application Scenarios: game acceleration, video streaming, multinational e-commerce, bypassing firewalls.

· Advantages: supports multiple protocols, fast speed and high security.

· Disadvantages: relatively complex setup, may require additional configuration support.

4. Transparent proxy

The special feature of transparent proxy is that users usually do not know they are using a proxy server. It is mainly used in enterprise or public networks to control users' online behavior, such as restricting access to certain websites.

· Application scenarios: enterprise network, school network, public Wi-Fi management.

· Advantages: no user configuration required, runs directly in the background.

· Disadvantages: does not provide privacy protection, user's real IP is still visible.

5. Anonymous proxy

Anonymous proxy, on the other hand, is specialized for those users who want to hide their identity. It will hide the user's real IP, but will not tell the target server that you are using a proxy, thus increasing the anonymity of access.

· Application scenarios: privacy protection, network security, cross-border business.

· Advantages: Hide user IP, protect privacy.

· Disadvantages: Some services may deny access to anonymous proxies.

Each proxy server has its unique features and application scenarios. If you need to do simple web browsing, HTTP proxy or HTTPS proxy is a good choice; if you need more protocol support and higher privacy protection, then SOCKS5 proxy is the best choice. Of course, 711Proxy also provides efficient and secure proxy services, no matter you need HTTP, SOCKS5 or other types of proxies, we can meet your needs!

Policy‐Based vs Route‐Based VPN: Understanding the Differences

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have become essential tools for securing communications over the internet. They help protect sensitive data, maintain privacy, and ensure safe connections for users and businesses alike. When setting up a VPN, one of the critical decisions involves choosing between policy based vs route based vpn. Understanding the differences between these two types can help in making an informed decision tailored to specific needs.

What is a VPN?

Before diving into the specifics of policy-based vs route-based VPNs, it’s important to understand what a VPN is. A VPN establishes a secure connection over a less secure network, such as the internet. It creates an encrypted tunnel between the user’s device and a VPN server, ensuring that data sent and received remains private and protected from prying eyes.

Policy-Based VPN

Definition and Functionality A policy-based VPN, also known as a policy-based IPsec VPN, is configured based on specific policies that define how traffic should be handled. In this setup, VPN traffic is governed by rules that determine which data packets are encrypted and routed through the VPN. These rules are typically set up based on IP addresses, protocols, or port numbers.

Configuration and Use Cases Policy-based VPNs require administrators to configure access control lists (ACLs) that specify which traffic should be encrypted and sent through the VPN tunnel. This configuration provides a granular level of control, making it suitable for scenarios where only certain types of traffic need to be secured.

Policy-based VPNs are often used in environments where the traffic patterns are predictable and well-defined. For example, a company might set up a policy-based VPN to ensure that all traffic between specific departments or branch offices is encrypted while other traffic remains unencrypted.

Advantages

Granular Control: Administrators can precisely define which traffic should be routed through the VPN, allowing for tailored security measures. Simplicity: The configuration can be straightforward when dealing with a limited number of traffic types or specific use cases. Cost-Effective: Policy-based VPNs can be less resource-intensive and more cost-effective, especially in smaller or less complex environments.

Disadvantages

Limited Flexibility: Policy-based VPNs can become complex to manage as traffic requirements change, requiring frequent updates to policies. Static Configuration: If traffic patterns change or new applications are added, the VPN policies may need to be reconfigured, which can be time-consuming.

Route-Based VPN

Definition and Functionality Route-based VPNs, also known as route-based IPsec VPNs, use routing protocols to determine which traffic is sent through the VPN tunnel. Unlike policy-based VPNs, which rely on specific rules, route-based VPNs use routing tables to direct traffic. This means that any traffic that matches the routing criteria is automatically routed through the VPN.

Configuration and Use Cases In route-based VPNs, the VPN tunnel is represented as a virtual network interface, and routing protocols or static routes are used to direct traffic through this interface. This approach provides greater flexibility in handling various types of traffic.

Route-based VPNs are ideal for dynamic environments where traffic patterns and network topologies are subject to change. For instance, a company with multiple remote offices or a cloud-based infrastructure might use a route-based VPN to ensure that all traffic between locations is securely routed.

Advantages

Flexibility: Route-based VPNs can handle a wide range of traffic types and network configurations, making them suitable for complex or dynamic environments. Scalability: As the network grows or changes, route-based VPNs can easily adapt without requiring significant reconfiguration. Simplified Management: With routing protocols in place, administrators can manage traffic flows more efficiently, reducing the need for frequent policy updates. Disadvantages Complex Configuration: Initial setup and configuration of route-based VPNs can be more complex, requiring a good understanding of routing protocols and network design. Potential Overhead: The use of routing protocols and additional routing tables can introduce some overhead, potentially impacting network performance.

Policy-Based vs Route-Based VPN: Which is Right for You?

Choosing between policy-based and route-based VPNs depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of your network, traffic patterns, and security requirements.

When to Choose Policy-Based VPN

Defined Traffic Patterns: If your network traffic is predictable and well-defined, a policy-based VPN might be the right choice. It allows for detailed control over which traffic is encrypted. Smaller Networks: For smaller networks with limited traffic types and straightforward requirements, policy-based VPNs can offer a cost-effective and manageable solution.

When to Choose Route-Based VPN

Dynamic Environments: If your network is complex or constantly changing, a route-based VPN provides the flexibility and scalability needed to handle diverse traffic patterns. Large Networks: In larger networks with multiple locations or varying traffic types, route-based VPNs offer better scalability and simplified management.

Conclusion

Understanding the differences between policy-based and route-based VPNs is crucial for selecting the right VPN solution for your needs. Policy-based VPNs offer granular control and simplicity for smaller or more predictable environments, while route-based VPNs provide flexibility and scalability for dynamic or large networks. By carefully assessing your network requirements and traffic patterns, you can make an informed decision that ensures optimal security and performance for your VPN deployment.

Whether you opt for a policy-based or route-based VPN, both types serve the critical function of securing communications and protecting sensitive data. The choice ultimately depends on your specific use case and network demands, ensuring that you achieve the best balance between control, flexibility, and efficiency.

Dynamic IP vs Static IP VPN

Dynamic IP vs Static IP VPN: Understanding the Difference

When it comes to VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), users often encounter the terms "dynamic IP" and "static IP." These terms refer to the type of IP address assigned to users when they connect to the VPN server, and each has its own advantages and drawbacks.

Let's start with dynamic IP VPNs. In this setup, users are assigned a different IP address each time they connect to the VPN server. This constant change of IP address enhances anonymity and security, as it makes it more challenging for third parties to track users' online activities. Dynamic IP VPNs are also generally more cost-effective, as they require fewer IP addresses to operate efficiently.

On the other hand, static IP VPNs provide users with a fixed IP address that remains the same every time they connect to the VPN server. This can be advantageous for certain purposes, such as remote access to company networks or accessing geo-restricted content that requires a consistent IP address. However, the downside is that static IP addresses can be easier to trace back to the user, potentially compromising anonymity.

Choosing between dynamic and static IP VPNs depends on individual needs and preferences. If privacy and security are top priorities, dynamic IP VPNs are often the preferred choice. However, if specific applications require a fixed IP address, then a static IP VPN may be more suitable.

In conclusion, both dynamic and static IP VPNs offer distinct benefits and drawbacks. Understanding these differences can help users make an informed decision based on their unique requirements for privacy, security, and functionality.

VPN Server Rotation

Title: Enhancing Security and Anonymity with VPN Server Rotation

In the realm of online security and privacy, VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology stands as a bastion against threats like surveillance, data breaches, and cyberattacks. VPNs encrypt users' internet traffic and route it through servers located in different regions, effectively masking their IP addresses and providing anonymity. However, for maximum effectiveness, VPN server rotation is becoming increasingly crucial.

VPN server rotation involves regularly changing the server through which a user's internet traffic is routed. This process enhances security and privacy by preventing adversaries from tracking a user's online activities or identifying their true location. By constantly shifting between servers, VPN users can evade detection and maintain a higher level of anonymity.

One of the primary benefits of VPN server rotation is its ability to thwart geo-blocking and censorship measures imposed by governments or online platforms. By accessing servers in different countries, users can bypass restrictions and access content that may be unavailable in their region.

Moreover, rotating VPN servers can mitigate the risks associated with server vulnerabilities or compromised nodes. Continuous rotation reduces the likelihood of adversaries targeting a specific server and enhances overall network resilience.

From a privacy standpoint, VPN server rotation minimizes the accumulation of data trails that could be exploited by third parties for tracking or profiling purposes. By frequently changing servers, users disrupt the continuity of their online footprint, making it harder for advertisers, data brokers, or malicious actors to gather comprehensive information about them.

In conclusion, VPN server rotation is a proactive measure to bolster online security and privacy. By regularly changing servers, users can circumvent restrictions, mitigate vulnerabilities, and maintain a higher degree of anonymity in an increasingly interconnected digital landscape.

IP Address Masking with VPN

Title: Unlocking Online Privacy: Understanding IP Address Masking with VPN

In the digital realm, safeguarding your online privacy is paramount. With the ever-growing presence of cyber threats and data breaches, individuals and businesses alike seek reliable methods to protect their sensitive information. One effective solution that has gained widespread popularity is the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) for IP address masking.

At its core, IP address masking involves concealing your true IP address – a unique identifier assigned to your device when connected to the internet – and replacing it with another address. This process adds an extra layer of anonymity, making it difficult for third parties to trace your online activities back to your physical location or identity.

VPNs facilitate this masking by rerouting your internet traffic through their secure servers located in different regions across the globe. When you connect to a VPN server, your IP address is effectively substituted with one associated with the server, thereby masking your actual location and identity. This not only shields your browsing habits from prying eyes but also enables access to geo-restricted content by making it appear as though you are browsing from a different location.

Moreover, VPNs employ encryption protocols to secure your data as it traverses the internet, further enhancing your online security. By encrypting your internet traffic, VPNs prevent unauthorized access to your sensitive information, thwarting potential hackers and cybercriminals in their tracks.

However, it's essential to choose a reputable VPN provider to ensure maximum effectiveness and reliability. Opting for a trustworthy VPN service with a strict no-logs policy and robust security measures will guarantee enhanced privacy and protection against online threats.

In conclusion, IP address masking with VPNs offers a robust solution for safeguarding your online privacy and security. By obfuscating your real IP address and encrypting your internet traffic, VPNs empower you to browse the web with confidence, free from prying eyes and potential cyber threats.

VPN Connection Stability

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a crucial tool for maintaining online security and privacy. However, one key aspect that determines the efficiency and reliability of a VPN is its connection stability. VPN connection stability refers to the ability of the VPN service to maintain a consistent and reliable connection without interruption or dropouts.

There are several factors that can impact VPN connection stability. One of the main factors is the quality of the VPN server network.
