Happy Eyeballs (also called Fast Fallback) is an algorithm published by the IETF that makes dual-stack applications (those that understand both IPv4 and IPv6) more responsive to users by attempting to connect using both IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time (preferring IPv6), thus minimizing IPv6 brokenness and DNS whitelisting experienced by users that have imperfect IPv6 connections or setups.
Configures the eero network to automatically connect to a nearby mobile hotspot or external Wi-Fi network as a fallback in the event that the eero system's primary connection fails. The eero system will remain connected to the fallback network until the issue with the primary connection is resolved. Ad blocking
A downgrade attack, also called a bidding-down attack, [1] or version rollback attack, is a form of cryptographic attack on a computer system or communications protocol that makes it abandon a high-quality mode of operation (e.g. an encrypted connection) in favor of an older, lower-quality mode of operation (e.g. cleartext) that is typically provided for backward compatibility with older ...
A server implements an HSTS policy by supplying a header over an HTTPS connection (HSTS headers over HTTP are ignored). [1] For example, a server could send a header such that future requests to the domain for the next year (max-age is specified in seconds; 31,536,000 is equal to one non-leap year) use only HTTPS: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): 2FA adds an extra layer of security. Even if someone guesses your password, they won't be able to access your account without the second verification step.
2 – (default) enable ECN when requested by incoming connections, but do not request ECN on outgoing connections; Beginning with version 4.1 of the Linux kernel, released in June 2015, the tcp_ecn_fallback mechanism [18]: §6.1.1.1 is enabled by default [19] when ECN is enabled (the value of 1). The fallback mechanism attempts ECN connectivity ...
A cipher suite is a set of algorithms that help secure a network connection. Suites typically use Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its deprecated predecessor Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The set of algorithms that cipher suites usually contain include: a key exchange algorithm , a bulk encryption algorithm , and a message authentication code ...
