Do you use NextDNS as a way to monitor your children online?

#4And WPA3! I'm always checking OpenWRT compatibility when need a router.

#5As an AdGuard and Pi-hole user I want to like NextDNS but when I tried it there wasn’t an easy way to temporarily disable blocking. Is that still right? I think that would make it a nonstarter for most of my friends and family.

#6Interesting. So far I've been using it since I discovered it on HN and I like it. Their support is quite responsive too, and it's easy to whitelist a domain if something breaks.

Does this end up including OWE in the end? It seemed like WPA3 ended up being standardised without all the features we actually wanted as requirements.
OWE = Opportunistic Wireless Encryption, previously if your WiFi has no password everybody can passively snoop all the packets, so it makes sense to use a password even if you tell everybody what it is, like FreeWiFiHere - so that an active attack would be needed to steal data and you've some chance to detect it. OWE says wait, why not use ephemeral keys even if there's no password and then you only set a password if you actually wanted to deny access to people who don't know the shared password.

#8Lots more coming in 19.07 — the first release candidate was published last week. Mostly security updates, bug fixes, newer kernel, some improved device support. Also WPA3 support.

#9Can anyone comment on the efficacy of ad blocking with NextDNS compared to Pi-hole?

My OpenWRT uses in-memory blacklist in dnsmasq on Omnia Turris that's faster than rpi.
I would imagine the performance of settings it on pihole would be unnoticeable, as it also stores blacklist in memory. The only latency difference would be in network request likely.
