(staff: please feel free to move into the correct category)Hi All
As some of you may have been aware from another post I made about dodgy TLS certificates NORD VPN was getting off the Zyxel router, and suggest a MAN IN THE MIDDLE attack may be occurring, and I may be having my connection EAVESDROPPED (this happened about 50% of the time when boot up)..
well, today I went out, came in and the internet was not working, troubleshooting said: "they can not contact their DNS servers" on all 5 of my devices! - even when I set it to ISPs in the router, IPv4 configs and had Firefox D.O.H disabled, VPN uninstalled and Panda AV uninstalled. rebooted, and I got the the same DNS problem message, BUT the router is up and connected at 67K..? the wires all attached perfectly?
I was gunna flush the DNS for good measure but for some reason, IPCONFIG and the app 'IPCONFIG' would not open? as if someone didn't want me messing around with the TCP/IP stack!!
So i called Plusnet who was pretty much useless, her excuse was "I SHOULD NOT BE TURNING MY ROUTER OF BEFORE BED, THAT IS WHY ITS BROKEN"..!!!!! after 30 minutes of tests she said "can i put you on hold" and the VERY SECOND she did that the web pages loaded up??!!
so now, its currently working with PANDA back on, but using Plusnet DNS servers...its almost as if they WANT you to use theirs for the 2016 Investigatory Powers Act - in which they must by law save 12 months of your internet TLD usage by way of recording your DNS TLD, there was a whole HOO-HAA by the N.S.A about Mozilla integrating DNS over HTTPS (D.o.H) to Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 (or other) saying it would seriously affect hunting down illegal users etc, now most browsers have it, theirs always been DNS CRYPT, DDNS, and third party DNS like Google, Open DNS, Comodo, CloudFlare etc.
Just thought i would put this out there...
edit: after this is what DSL stats shows - almost as if i have a 5C+MK4 installed hahaha
- I got 2 of em, they are crap!
edit2: oh and power levels in DSL-stats are DOUBLE what they normally are
