Rethink DNS

How different is it from quad9 dns?

Asudox, 8 months ago

In the app, it’s actually a firewall and DNS app. It’s configurable like NextDNS unlike quad9.

Interesting I’ll check it out

You can configure it per app. And choose your own block lists.

Imma add TrackerControl to those already mentioned in other comments.

Edit: cosmetic change

Since it is a local VPN you can use android killswitch as well. Good for a shelter work profile for apps that may not work with vpns

Android:

• Nexdns.io^1 - Open source DNS provider with DNSSEC and over TLS. Then can also block ads at the DNS level. I don’t actually use the app, I apply it at the system level with the “private DNS” settings.
• Bitwarden^2 - Open Source password manager with Yubikey auth and stores TOTP.
• Imagepipe^3 - Quickly and easily strip exif data from image (open source too).
• Markor^4 - Used to make local notes of things I don’t want shared over a cloud or google connection. Just a .md note.
• Wireguard^5 - Have my own VPN setup for when i’m on public wifi, also allows me to access my server/applications remotely.
• URLCheck^6 - This app is fantastic, intercepts links to remove tracking parameters, unshorten them or even scan them with a virustotal API. I also use it to redirect twitter to nitter or apply a paywall remover.

What do you use for paywall remover?

lustrum, 8 months ago

I have 2 options that work most of the time: 12ft.io and archive.ph. The URLCheck rules are:

<span style="color:#323232;">"proxy it with archive.is": {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    "regex1": "^(https?):\/\/([\s\S]*)$",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    "regex": "^(?!.*(archive\.))(.*)",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    "replacement": "https://archive.is/newest/$2",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    "enabled": "true"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  },
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  "12ft.io.": {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    "regex": "^.*$",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    "replacement": "https://12ft.io/$0"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  },
</span>

This basically brings up 2 buttons on the urlcheck sheet an I can pick either to proxy it.
