February 5, 2018 By Richie Leave a Comment

Debian Linux, aka The Universal Operating System, is a Linux distribution created by Ian Murdoch in 1993 that has since become one of the most widely deployed Linux distro's in the world, and for good reason. Debian has a massive repository of 50,000+ software packages, supports a range of CPU architectures including x86, x64, ARM, mips, PowerPC, and has become extremely popular in web server environments using the standard LAMP stack.

Setup private VPN network or VPN service provider – complete guide

December 18, 2017 By Richie Leave a Comment

I originally published this guide on it's own website called "American Netflix Guide" to show you how to get the American version of Netflix, but all the steps can also be used to setup your own private VPN network, or even a VPN service provider. If you see anything named "*netflix*" you can replace it if you know what you're doing, otherwise just leave it until you're more comfortable with setting up VPN servers (hostnames and TAP adapters especially). I suggest you set aside 2 hours for this … [Read more...]

March 22, 2017 By Richie Leave a Comment

Setting custom DNS servers on MAC OS X can improve network performance, increase security and even thwart some websites using Geo-blocking, and I'll show you how to do it in this guide.

I recommend Google DNS which is what I use and have never had an issue. I will list here the most popular DNS providers: GOOGLE Primary IPv4: … [Read more...]

[RD] Set custom DNS servers on Linux with Network Manager or resolv.conf

March 21, 2017 By Richie 4 Comments

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aLuVw7JB28] Setting custom DNS servers on Linux can increase performance, security and even thwart some websites using Geo-blocking via DNS. There are two ways to do this: via Network Manager GUI that's included in many Linux distros like Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives, or via resolv.conf (not directly, but via the head file) and I'll show you how to do both in this guide. FYI: The resolv.conf file is overwritten on each boot so we can't edit this … [Read more...]
