Well boys........that means we are over the target.
Could also educate people about alternate DNS services, like OpenNIC. Using DoH/DoT or DNSCrypt with OpenNIC is pretty robust.
The only problem with that list is that you don't know who's "woke" and going to start blocking stuff. I think an open implementation like OpenNIC is more robust that way.
OpenNIC is awesome. They have namespaces you can't reach without using their DNS. It's almost like Tor in effect.
Educate me then
It's easy. Load up their list of servers and change your DNS servers to one of them.
I see you are a man educated on the reality of his lack of access like myself being it's his ISP only that is doing it by blocking the IP in their dns server not anything else. I'm amazed me and you are the only ones to mention this.
Poal must be doing something right.
I notice that poal's address is 93.115.20.7 but using that address gives me a 404 error. How do you access poal.co using only the ip address?
Poal's certificate is only signed for poal.co domain. Sub-domains are using their own certificates.
I stopped using that cert check since it tells the liberal mozilla what sights you visit. Heck I don't let mozilla do any check on anything for me. ;)
Can't you allow non SSL connections to work?
lol We would have done that if poal was registration free.
404 not found for the IP only
It does open if you manually accept the certificate, but the connection won't be secure.
I haven't tried Brave Browser yet, but I've been using the Brave search engine and don't plan to switch back to DuckDuckGo.
ever using (((DuckDuckGo)))
Come on. You've been warned so fucking frequently.
I was in the beta but I use http://searx.ninja. http://searx.me is a metasearch engine framework that anyone can deploy either publicly, locally, or on an organization level. I use the .ninja instance because of its locality's laws and the host they use.
brave is excellent. been using it for a few years now. also check out startpage.com and searx.info for search engines
Hmmm I never heard of it. I’ll try using it
Add Yandex.ru and qwant to ur list
Huh I work with has a cell plan with cricket I think. One of those pay as you go things. They blocked a whole bunch of websites. I was trying to show him how to watch fights and they blocked those websites. I didn’t know they could do that
I use a budget plan that piggybacks on T-Mobile. I wish my neighbors didn't all switch to Verizon because I know how to get around the login page for xfinitywifi hotspots.
I was so pissed when I figured out that my house was emitting an xfinitiwifi signal without my permission. I fired those assholes.
You signed the contract. They had your permission. And it's not even the same router. They have 2 routers inside their connection boxes.
wireshark and a wifi antenna can do wonders for internet access as long as your anonymous as in no logins to facebook, email, or anything else that can ID you online that are in the tech communist group of friends that would love to assfuck you for accessing the wrong way. Hell if you can get a big antenna with a large db boost you could access legally through a public library even if it was over a 1/4 mile away with the right hardware. ;) We paid half the neighbors internet cost to get access, just didn't do anything as in downloading a lot of shit and kept the video streams like here to a minimum and we did that for almost 3 years and then rented to neighbors ourselves for years. Heck before we went wifi had a coax cable run under the lawn between our places and another time the store owner down the street had access to the big pipe that was once used for burglar alarms connected to the police station. The ISP had only dial up and we were using ISDN. Worst one was dial up in the boonies, has a 56k plan and a 56k modem but the lines were so old we barely could connect at 38.8 speeds and this was post 2000. Web pages were like molasses loading back then.
I've made my own antennas before. I used to have a parabolic, but bad roommates changed that. I have some external omnidirectional and a flat panel. But where I live is at tthe bottom of a hill on one side, next to a big river on the other side of that, then a huge patch of woods on a smaller hill on one side and a block of factories on the other. There's nothing around. My block is a tiny island of a handful of houses and 2 small, low capacity apartment buildings. There's just nothing there. I've checked with Wiviz.
Having a tor endpoint wouldn't be a bad idea.
An onion would be awesome.
Have you checked out Unstoppable Domains? I'd like that even more. TOR was created by the USA Navy, the current maintainers are "woke", and most of the exit nodes are compromised and run by government agencies all over the world.
Ah-ha! I knew I wasn't crazy! I complained about this before, and some people were in doubt. But yeah, Poal is on a list.
Some people say brave is bad, but for having switched several times between firefox, chromium, and ungoogled-chromium, I have to say that I don't share that opinion, that brave is bad
Brave also has its search engine, as @Skysearcher2 mentioned, and yes it overall feels better than ddg
ungoogled-chromium started to give me technical issues lately, I thought maybe google is counter attacking the project by including subtle changes in the code base that renders it unstable or unusable for some stuffs the moment one starts removing particular google tied stuffs from the code base. ungoogled-chromium is maintained by amateurs, they are good at what they do, but are they good enough? How long are they going to be able to remain good enough to handle the job, if we're not already past that point?
...
So yeah, back on topic
We need a backup plan @AOU you know it's only a matter of time before we really do https://poal.co/s/PoliticallyIncorrect/388065
Something that can stay afloat even during hyperinflation times ideally https://poal.co/s/markets/387145
Again, it's backup plan, so yeah it comes with a "of course there are downsides", such as "it's a .onion" as OP suggested for instance, like welcome to mandalore underground where virtually only us can read our shit and there's only tapioca to eat... Still better than nothing at all.
Point being that, we shouldn't take for granted what we have now, things can always change drastically in a not so distant future, and despite all their rants, the voat crew was happy to be at least able to regroup here. Some stayed, some went away, but that's a different topic
I was in the Brave Search beta and I prefer the https://searx.ninja instance of the https://searx.me meatsearch engine framework. You can deploy it yourself, it's open source, and you can make a public instance. It pulls results anonymously from the major search engines and some others.
get a new DNS server and change your network for ip version 4 to not automatic but dhcp addresses only then you will not be sending DNS requests to your ISP just a new free one that doesn't monitor your activities. Just type free DNS servers and it'll fix ya right up and some block ads and nasty virus or other trapped pages waiting for a sucker. Your internet speeds likely might get faster.
So search for: free private DNS servers.
sigh I'm using my cellphone since the last neighbor to have Comcast switched to Verizon and I can't use the login bypass trick I figured out to get unlimited uninterrupted perpetual free 1 hour sessions of xfinitywifi.
At least I'm getting free tethering using a cracked version of PDANet+.
A REAL shoah, for once
