This is good advice.

One of the more backdoor ways for big tech to begin wreaking havoc once the censorship game is up: DNS. We bring this to attention due to one of the biggest DNS providers used by major ISPs: CloudFlare. One of the major pitfalls with CloudFlare is pervasive expansion into China: https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/28/cloudflare-partners-with-jd-to-expand-its-network-in-china/

How DNS works:

Over the past week, average joes by the millions have been silenced & labeled terrorists by big tech. They’re struggling to understand how to counter the loss of online freedom & speech.

Over the coming weeks & months, we’re going to try to help you learn how to fight back.

DNS is a critical component to this. When you open a web browser on a pc, tablet or smart phone & visit a website, you enter the site address as you know it. Gmail is gmail.com to most people.

What most do not know is that’s not the real address. Its a nickname. When you visit that site by entering its nickname, and telling your browser to go there, you’re actually contacting a middle man: a middle man who translates the nickname of the site into the actual address, and forwards your request to the right place. Thats what DNS is: the middle man that directs all the web traffic on the internet.

Parler is offline because Amazon’s DNS service maliciously tried to kill it. And bc they shut the servers off hosting it.

Soon, big tech will start hiding information, traffic & sites from you by weaponizing DNS against you: the end user.

In the next 24 hours, we’re going to teach windows 10 users how to change DNS settings on your pc’s to immunize yourself against this threat.
We’re going to try to educate people & help them fight back. Big & very helpful things coming in the Library. Stay tuned. Smash #BigTech with an Iron Fist.

The information sphere is critical to success, but the kinetic sphere is always there in the background.
And now the Leftwing communists & their propagandists in the media are trying to attack Telegram.

They want you silenced & blinded. They are scared to death of you informed & able to communicate & organize!

What they fail to realize though, is telegram isnt within their control. They cant de platform it, cant stop it.
Now Telegram is under attack!

NBC NEWS: "Right-wing extremists are using channels on the encrypted communication app Telegram to call for violence against government officials on Jan. 20, the day President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated, with some extremists sharing knowledge of how to make, conceal and use homemade guns and bombs."

For those word about Telegraph app being made unavailable:

Hi some information about Telegram you might not know. If Google were to ban Telegram, you can still install the APK or even use F-Droid the APP has an opensource appstore, they are also available in there.

This is the Telegram app there

Hat 🎩 tip @amelia n

A VPN is a tool to encrypt all your web traffic to keep you safe and protect your privacy while surfing the internet. VPNs are used to privately surf websites across the internet and protect your internet activity from prying eyes like Leftists who want to doxx you, & kill your job or threaten your family.

Secure VPNs, such as Proton VPN, encrypt your online data and secure your personal information. This means your city, country, and download history are not linked you *you*.

I personally use and recommend Proton VPN. Here is a decent review of Proton VPN: https://thebestvpn.com/reviews/protonvpn/

Here are recommendations for others: https://thebestvpn.com/

Make sure you're using a good VPN. There are several out there that leak your data pretty badly, or don't implement masking correctly, or at all.

This post continues the discussion of DNS posted earlier on in the Library:

What is DNS?
When you are browsing the web, most of the time you are accessing a website’s given name, such as www.gab.com. However, computers communicate through IP addresses (think 192.168.1.1, those numbers most people will not remember). To get to where you’re going on the internet, Domain Name Servers (DNS) are used to translate what you type in to browse to the corresponding address. This is a key mechanism to allow websites to provide the content to your browser.

What makes it important to you?
Although not as highly centralized as say Google, DNS has become an increasingly convenient way to monitor and route traffic for big tech. Parler’s recent takedown, as Finch alluded to, involved AWS taking their internet “name” off of Amazon’s own DNS, preventing easy access to the website. In addition to preventing easy access, DNS servers allow big tech to track your movements by logging what websites you requested and how long you visited them.

Well if this makes it easy for big tech to track, what can I do?
Vigilance is key. Although many DNSes exist that can and will track (Google DNS, Amazon Route 53) or route through various foreign countries to allow easy export (CloudFlare with its Chinese), many other DNSes are available to increase both security and privacy. Here are some recommendations on DNS providers that are not in the business of violating your privacy:

- Comodo Secure DNS: Run by Comodo Group, this DNS actively looks to filter “parked” websites, adding a layer of security in addition to increasing privacy.

- OpenNIC: This service is unique in that its driven by volunteers who build and host their own DNSes, with server options varying based on your location.

- DNS Watch: The service is located in Germany, however they are currently staunch believers in DNS neutrality, and refuse to log personal data.

- Quad 9: Quad9 DNS has been active since 2016, using security information from cyber intelligence groups such is IBM X-Force to prevent malicious sites and re-directs from occurring during browsing. In addition, it is among the fastest of the DNS options listed here.
