My ISP called and woke me up. No, they had no reason. Just asked what I use at home. I lied and claimed I do just little internet browsing. Fuck them. Get false information. That'll teach you to wake up and eepy catgirl. Monster.

@susie @eal @jonossaseuraava nextdns is great, especially since you get so many profiles (helpful if you have multi-machines). it's not free, but nothing good is. i like to use it for upstream on servers, then a local resolver with heavy caching+prefetch+blocklists. works great!
squid is still a thing, but not as popular as some newer shiny things

@threat @eal @jonossaseuraava That was years ago. I'm less into optimizing the heck out of everything nowadays. I just use nextDNS, since their dashboard allows for everything I was going to do anyways.
Also I don't think Squid cache is a thing anymore, since man in the middle proxies are hated by every OS. Too much trouble for too little gain.

@susie @eal @jonossaseuraava what is the end result now? i assume you're back online. do you have another method? if you don't i can likely make suggestions on working around it.

@threat @eal @jonossaseuraava Yes. They claimed I was running a DDOS attack lol I was super confused until the guy said port 53 and I caught on. I bet they just didn't know what I was doing and some automatic alert popped up.
And no, it wasn't just a handslap call, it was a termination letter and cutting off the internet lol
Edit: and yes, I was running an unbound setup with squid cache. I was on my networking maxxing era.

@susie @eal @jonossaseuraava so querying root servers (assuming via unbound?) got you a handslap call from the isp? i run 2xresolvers/vlan @ home slamming root servers and after 1yr so far no issues. however the one time i tried to open up 443/80/25 i had to contact them to "upgrade to business class".

@jonossaseuraava @eal I got my internet cut off at my old place for running a DNS server (inside LAN only, but I queried the ICANN root nameservers directly). After trying to explain it to some guy who called I just gave up and stopped doing that. It was couple milliseconds faster damn it!
Also most ISP "bans" are on the DNS level, so rather than go hunt for mirrors it is better to just change the DNS from the default to some encrypted one (nextDNS, Adguard etc).

Well piratebay and some other stuff must blackholed by law. One time my study mate told that they got a call from isp for running an old version on next/owncloud exposed to the internet, which i feel like is bit scetch.

@jonossaseuraava @susie required by law to do some analysis and keep some logs, but lots of ceremony before accessing any of it, phone caller definitely doesn't see that stuff
t. previous employer was an ISP

I wonder how much traffic analasysis they are allowed to do. I hope none.

The correct response to that would be to note that you aren't running a DDoS attack (nor a DoS attack), tell them that they've lost a customer and you'll be telling everyone who asks you for ISP not to go with them forever and to go to someone else.

@threat @susie The prerequisite for something to be truly good is for it to be free as in freedom.
"NextDNS" looks like cringe proprietary SaaSS, so you shouldn't use it for your freedoms sake.
It's seems easiest to have a caching resolver and have DNScrypt as the upstream, but ideally GNUnet DNS would be even better.

oh holy shit
I have heard about nexdns but have never acutally looked into it.
This is just what I want at the moment! I haven't got the fokken "spoons" to setup pihole / opnsense at home for the time being.

@threat @eal @jonossaseuraava I seem to stay fine in the free plan, haven't had to pay for nextDNS with my usage. I also got Adguard DNS when I tried their VPN service (surprise surprise, the VPN sucks ass). It wasn't as good at nextDNS, but it was also "okay" (but not free).
Honestly, I'm just a casual user nowadays. Playing silly little games and visiting my silly little websites.
