    Or so it seems ? Nice to see qkweb back on the www & still contributing after all these years ;) Some of you will remember his excellent previous www [noparse]http://www.firewallleaktester.com[/noparse] - https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=310178

    To be used in conjunction with OpenDNS

    *

    Anybody using BOTH OpenDNS & DNSCrypt ? If so, what do you think of it ?

    Hi CloneRanger,

    I'm not so sure whether it is worthwile to post the link to gkweb's old site -http://www.firewallleaktester.com/ anymore. The content Guillaume posted there once, isn't available there anymore; and I doubt whether it is his site at all anymore.

    Back to topic ;)

    I'm not seeing the point of this thread. You know people are using DNSCrypt and have been for many months, we have numerous threads on it already.

    Or just set up a dedicated, plug-in-free, Flash-free, Java-free browser, restricted via firewall to the bank's ip addresses only. DNS is eliminated.

    I hope my memory ain't that old, but I believe that in order to eliminate the DNS issue, you'd have to map whatever domain name to its IP address/ranges. The HOSTS file would be the solution, should it support ranges. :D

    For your solution, probably, but mine uses straight IP address ranges, so no DNS involved. The firewall logs prove this :) I use the domain name entries only to allow javascript/images for the bank's site.
