* Blocking Ads
|
||||||
|
Everyone except for advertisers hates adverts. Not only are they annoying, but they can also consume a lot of bandwidth, be a privacy problem in terms of allowing companies to track your browsing habits and also any badly written scripts they contain may introduce exploitable security holes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can block ads for any devices connected to your local network by installing the *pihole* app from *Add/Remove Apps* on the administrator control panel. This may help to improve overall performance of your devices by not wasting time downloading unwanted images or scripts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Set a static IP address
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once you've done that then ensure that your system has a static local IP address (typically 192.168..) using the option on the control panel. You will also need to know the IP address of your internet router, which is usually *192.168.1.1* or *192.168.1.254*.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When that's done select *About this system* from the control panel and see the IPv4 address (ignore the /24 part). You can use this as a DNS address in two ways:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** On each client system within your local network
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+begin_src bash
|
||||||
|
sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf
|
||||||
|
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
|
||||||
|
#+end_src
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Comment out any existing entries with a # character and add:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+begin_src bash
|
||||||
|
nameserver [IPv4 address from the About screen]
|
||||||
|
#+end_src
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Normally /resolv.conf/ will be overwritten every time your reboot, but you can prevent this with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+begin_src bash
|
||||||
|
sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
|
||||||
|
#+end_src
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** On your internet router
|
||||||
|
If you can access the settings on your local internet router then this is the simplest way to provide ad blocking for all devices which connect to it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Edit the DNS settings and add the IPv4 address which you got from the control panel About screen. Exactly how you do this will just depend upon your particular router model. You may also need to set the same address twice, because two addresses are conventional.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Configuring block lists
|
||||||
|
You can configure the block lists which the system uses by going to the *administrator control panel*, selecting *App Settings* then choosing *pihole*. You can also add any extra domain names to the whitelist if they're being wrongly blocked or to the blacklist if they're not blocked by the current lists.

<a href="https://syncthing.net/">Syncthing</a> provides a similar capability to proprietary systems such as Dropbox, and also is well suited for use with low power single board computers. You can have one or more directories which are synchronized across your various laptops/desktops/devices, and this makes it hard for you to ever lose important files. The manner in which the synchronization is done is pretty secure, such that it would be difficult for passive adversaries (mass surveillance, "<i>men in the middle</i>", etc) to know what files you're sharing. Of course, you don't necessarily need to be running a server in order to use Syncthing, but if you do have a server which is always running then there's always at least one place to synchronize your files to or from.

Freedombone also supports SIP phones The username and domain is the same as for your email address, and the SIP password and extension number will appear within the README file in your home directory. Various SIP client options are available, such as CSipSimple on Android and Jitsi on desktop or laptop machines. Ideally use clients which support ZRTP, which will provide the best level of security.

<a href="https://jitsi.org/Documentation/ZrtpFAQ">ZRTP</a> appears to be the current best standard to end-to-end encrypted voice calls, combining good security with simplicity of use. When the initial cryptographic negotiation between phones is done at the start of a call a short authentication string (SAS) is calculated and displayed at both ends. To check that there isn't anyone intercepting the call and acting as a <i>man in the middle</i> - as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_phone_tracker">stingray type devices</a> try to do - the short authentication string can be read out and verbally confirmed between the callers. If it's the same then you can be pretty confident that the call is secure.

The way that RSS reading is set up on Freedombone gives you strong reading privacy. Not only is there onion routing between you and the server but also between the server and the source of the RSS feed. The only down side is that many RSS feeds are still http only, and so could be vulnerable to injection attacks, but it's expected that more of this will go to https in the foreseeable future due to a combination of growing recognition of security issues and systems like Let's Encrypt which make obtaining certificates much easier.

Everyone except for advertisers hates adverts. Not only are they annoying, but they can also consume a lot of bandwidth, be a privacy problem in terms of allowing companies to track your browsing habits and also any badly written scripts they contain may introduce exploitable security holes.

You can block ads for any devices connected to your local network by installing the <b>pihole</b> app from <b>Add/Remove Apps</b> on the administrator control panel. This may help to improve overall performance of your devices by not wasting time downloading unwanted images or scripts.

Once you've done that then ensure that your system has a static local IP address (typically 192.168..) using the option on the control panel. You will also need to know the IP address of your internet router, which is usually <b>192.168.1.1</b> or <b>192.168.1.254</b>.

You can configure the block lists which the system uses by going to the <b>administrator control panel</b>, selecting <b>App Settings</b> then choosing <b>pihole</b>. You can also add any extra domain names to the whitelist if they're being wrongly blocked or to the blacklist if they're not blocked by the current lists.
