mpc-hc VS nextdns

Your link is the old/abandonware mpc-hc, here you'll find a more recent version

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc

And just in case you are playing this on a PC, try playing them with either VLC or Media Player Classic (up2date clsid2 fork), both are capable of playing these files.

I have had no problems with MPC-HC: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc Clsid2 was immeadiately it's successor

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/ it says march 3rd and its the same one k lite codec uses https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

MPC-HC is the premier Windows player. It has pitch corrected playback speeds. Alternatively, Audacity can as well, but it's more complicated. MPC-HC is also the best movie player you can get.

Open releases on the right side of the page, go to a version of your choosing and at the bottom of the post in the Assets section choose whatever binary you need. Alternatively, you could use a windows packet manager such as chocolatey, for example, and it can handle all that for you. They do have both outdated and the modern fork of MHC-HC

I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS. Affiliated with none, and have decided to subscribe to all three to further test them for this year.

Okay but NextDNS' own homepage says it "blocks ads and trackers on websites and in apps" - https://nextdns.io

I first used Safari on Windows around 2006. Put me off forever.

You just need Firefox and the extensions that mean ads are never seen.

That said, take a look at https://nextdns.io

just run snort and get nextdns.io account and use those DNS servers to control your DNS.

I'm using NextDNS which can be integrated into TailScale MagicDNS. It works seamlessly. You may need to pay if you have a high usage rate. I pay for the Pro version but that's less than $30 CAD a year. I did have in house Raspberry PI and Pi-Hole DNS but it was a lot of work.

pretty much to the same effect of a pihole, yet you can get up and running in minutes. You can then configure wherever you please: your browser, your laptop, your phone, or even your router.

Check out NextDNS. You can set recreation time and block things like YouTube and Instagram at all times of the day except during your recreation time. Mine for instance is between 6pm and 9pm. At all other times, I can have it blocked. They market this feature to parents, which I think is short sighted because it’s great for productivity and works much more effectively at the network level compared to blocking apps which, at least on iOS, are limited in their capabilities.

Update: So I can see in https://github.com/nextdns/nextdns/wiki that the nextdns CLI I set up in opnsense is DOH, but I swear this wouldn’t work the first time I installed it, hence why I set up DOT. So confused now lol!
