While MANRS has gone from strength to strength since its beginning in 2014, gaining attention, interest, and credibility from network operators worldwide, for the initiative to be sustainable and impactful in the long run there should be a stronger sense of ownership by the community. MANRS is an industry-led initiative whose participants set and develop […]

RIRs Enhance Support for Routing Security https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2019/02/apnic-enhances-support-for-routing-security/ Mon, 25 Feb 2019 05:49:00 +0000 https://www.internetsociety.org/?p=94971

BGP hijacking and route leaks represent significant problems in the global Internet routing systems, along with source address spoofing. BGP hijacks are where allocated or unallocated address space is announced by entities who are not holders and are not authorized to use it. The announcement of allocated address space often creates big news, such as […]

The 1st of February was DNS Flag Day, which is an initiative of several DNS vendors and operators to address the problems of DNS name server implementations that are not in compliance with long-established DNS standards.

DNS-over-TLS in Linux (systemd) https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2018/12/dns-privacy-in-linux-systemd/ Fri, 28 Dec 2018 01:00:51 +0000 https://www.internetsociety.org/?p=92395

Whilst we were putting together some content about DNS privacy recently, we learned that recent distributions of Linux ship with support for making DNS queries over TLS. We therefore decided to give Ubuntu 18.10 a try on a laptop. More recent versions of Ubuntu employ a special service for name resolution called ‘system-resolved.service(8)’. The configuration file […]

Although Firefox ships with DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) disabled by default, there has been some discussion within the Mozilla developer community about changing the default to “enabled”. Although DoH is somewhat controversial because it moves control plane (signalling) messages to the […]
