  • dnscrypt-proxy

    dnscrypt-proxy 2 - A flexible DNS proxy, with support for encrypted DNS protocols.

  • Up until recently, I've used it with quad9 DNS, which is fine, but as people found out, we can make it work with dnscrypt-proxy, which allows us to use DNSCrypt, which basically is a protocol that encrypts, authenticates and optionally anonymizes communications between a DNS client and a DNS resolver. It prevents DNS spoofing. It uses cryptographic signatures to verify that responses originate from the chosen DNS resolver and haven’t been tampered with. (as written at DNSCrypt's official website). That significantly increases our security and privacy (better using Anonymous DNS relays). Cheers

    🏔 Love Freedom - ❌ Block Mass Surveillance

  • Portmaster is a free and open-source application firewall. I tried it for a while and it does a very job. I can't remember if that's the default behavior, but I'm mostly blocking all connection except the connections I want.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
