Any device that supports VPN can use Pi-Hole on a cellular network or a home network without having a DNS server configured. [16] Integrating Pi-hole with a VPN allows users to extend ad-blocking and tracker-blocking capabilities to devices outside their local network, providing consistent protection while on the go.
Split-horizon DNS can provide a mechanism for security and privacy management by logical or physical separation of DNS information for network-internal access (within an administrative domain, e.g., company) and access from an unsecure, public network (e.g. the Internet).
Mullvad was launched in March of 2009 by Amagicom AB, [6] and it had begun by supporting connections via the OpenVPN protocol in 2009. [7] Mullvad was an early adopter and supporter of the WireGuard protocol, announcing the availability of the new VPN protocol in March 2017 [8] and making a "generous donation" supporting WireGuard development between July and December 2017.
WireGuard is a communication protocol and free and open-source software that implements encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs). [5] It aims to be lighter and better performing than IPsec and OpenVPN , two common tunneling protocols . [ 6 ]
DNS hijacking, DNS poisoning, or DNS redirection is the practice of subverting the resolution of Domain Name System (DNS) queries. [1] This can be achieved by malware that overrides a computer's TCP/IP configuration to point at a rogue DNS server under the control of an attacker, or through modifying the behaviour of a trusted DNS server so that it does not comply with internet standards.
IANA, who allocate IP addresses globally, have allocated the single IP address 0.0.0.0 [1] to RFC 1122 section 3.2.1.3. It is named as "This host on this network". RFC 1122 refers to 0.0.0.0 using the notation {0,0}.
Round-robin DNS is a technique of load distribution, load balancing, or fault-tolerance provisioning multiple, redundant Internet Protocol service hosts, e.g., Web server, FTP servers, by managing the Domain Name System's (DNS) responses to address requests from client computers according to an appropriate statistical model.
