Upcoming Changes in OpenBLD.net​

As time progresses and the user base grows, server capacities are expanding, necessitating more servers and funds. However, the budget is already allocated and distributed.

In light of the above, some changes are planned for the architecture of OpenBLD.net:

• ADA (DNS 53): Disable everywhere except for the main two or three servers
• RIC (DNS 53): Eliminate DNS 53 on all RIC servers, leaving only - DoT, DoH.

In summary: DNS 53 will remain only in the ADA infrastructure.

Important: Please let me know if this may break something for you; we will think together about what can be done.

Anyone who can contribute to the OpenBLD.net project, please don't hesitate. You can find information on how to do this and the benefits you can expect here.

🤝 Thanks to everyone who has helped and continues to help. Blessings to you all!

How can you reduce the threat of spying on your iPhone?

iPhone owners can be hacked through iMessage with Operation Triangulation infection chain and you can reduce thich chain attack together with OpenBLD.net.

In short. Operation Triangulation infection chain: a device receives a malicious iMessage attachment that launches a chain of exploits, and their execution ultimately results in the launch of the TriangleDB implant. In more detail, the infection chain can be summarized with the following article.

Infection chain:

Now all chained domains added to OpenBLD.net ecosystem, and of course - be careful about what and from whom you receive in your iMessage 😎

Update HTTPS certificates will progress tonight

This message is to let you know that this is a legitimate, planned procedure.

Introduction​

In Almaty, this Thursday, October 19, at 7:00 PM in SmartPoint, I'll be presenting an open report on the topic of "Security and DNS."

The Importance of DNS​

We all recognize that DNS is the backbone of the internet; without it, nothing would function properly. It's everywhere, yet its significance in cybersecurity often goes unnoticed.

What to Expect​

While the document is still a work in progress, I plan to cover the following key areas:

• Why DNS is crucial and how it operates
• Its impact on security
• How it affects users
• DNS and Threat Intelligence
• The origins of OpenBLD.net DNS 😡

Event Details​

Admission is free. Unfortunately, the link to the event is only available on LinkedIn, where you can find the full agenda.

For those attending, see you at the event! ✌️))

In first - Big Thanks to the DNS Blocklists project for their significant contribution to "Keep the internet clean" ideology

In this quarter of 2023, I've introduced various enhancements to the OpenBLD.net ecosystem.

🔻Here's the scoop​

• 1️⃣ OpenBLD.net now incorporates the DNS Blocklists project into its own DNS filtering mechanisms, ensuring a cleaner internet experience.
• 2️⃣ Successfully resolved major Apple content delivery issues for Eastern Europe, enhancing DNS delivery experience.
• 3️⃣ Experience a boost in DNS response speed by approximately 5%. The General pool is now around ~111ms, while Local pools are at ~70ms.
• 4️⃣ According to Alternativeto, OpenBLD.net stands out as an alternative to Quad9, NextDNS, AdGuard DNS, AhaDNS, and BlahDNS.

Embrace yourself and stay focused with the power of clean Internet with OpenBLD.net DNS 😎
