Ubiquity EdgeMAX Ad & Malware Blocking Content Filtering using EdgeRouter

NB: I am not using this setup anymore, and will not update the config and code if it breaks. I recommend Pi-hole instead, which gives many features such as web UI, statistics, DNS-over-HTTPS, and definitely better written code ;)

This will show you how to use your EdgeRouter as a local DNS server and blocking DNS queries to domains that hosts ads and malware.

The blocklist used is:

If you're new to linux, or this is a new piece of hardware / a new synology device, jump down to the section called "Inspecting a setup"

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
