NextDNS was working a treat for me, and it was only through NextDNS's meticulous logging that I immediately discovered that my consumer grade router was hopelessly compromised: joined a botnet, trafficking porn, IDK.
So I threw the router out the window, and signed up to rent CPE from my ISP; edge router security is now 100% their responsibility!
- cyberpunk 2y agoWhat’s a CPE?
- pmw 2y agoIt's an networking term to distinguish between ISP-owned and customer-owned equipment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer-premises_equipment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer-premises_equipment
- jdsnape 2y agominor nitpick, but it's not ownership so much as location. Sometimes the ISP will own the equipment, but it will be located on the customer premises rather than the ISP premises. It's an important distinction as you can't just rock up and do stuff to it.
