Do Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and DuckDuckGo Chat have safeguards for explicit content?

I believe there's a misunderstanding. Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and DuckDuckGo Chat aren't associated with the companies you mentioned. If you're referring to AI models developed by OpenAI named Gemini and Copilot, they don't inherently have explicit content safeguards. DuckDuckGo Chat doesn't exist. For AI tools designed for kids, it's best to use those specifically created for educational purposes with built-in safety features, like "Socratic by Google". Always monitor usage for safety.

What are pki.goog and o.pki.goog? Cloudflare Gateaway logs show o.pki.goog blocked. Should I allow pki.goog?

pki.goog and o.pki.goog are related to Google's Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). They handle the issuance, revocation, and storage of public keys for Google services. If o.pki.goog is being blocked, it could potentially affect the secure operation of some Google services. However, whether to allow it depends on your specific security needs and policies. Always ensure to follow best security practices and consult with a cybersecurity expert if unsure.

Can you provide information about the following setting found in "configuration - advanced" in the Yoga DNS app?
Override TTL to match the following range

Can you provide information about the following setting found in "configuration - advanced" in the Yoga DNS app?
Override TTL to match the following range
Min - 0
Max - 2147483647

The "Override TTL" setting in Yoga DNS app allows you to set a custom Time to Live (TTL) for DNS responses. TTL is a value in a DNS record that determines how long the record is allowed to be cached by a resolver (like your PC or router).

The range you've mentioned, Min 0 - Max 2147483647, is the broadest possible, meaning the DNS responses could have a TTL anywhere from 0 (not cached at all) to 2147483647 seconds (a very long time).

If you override TTL, you're manually controlling how long your system caches DNS responses. Be aware that setting a low TTL could increase DNS lookup times, while a high TTL might serve outdated records. Adjust according to your needs.

Would there be any concerns with the following custom TTL setting?

Would there be any concerns with the following custom TTL setting?
Min - 10
Max - 20

Setting a custom TTL to a range of Min 10 - Max 20 seconds means DNS records will only be cached for a short period. While this ensures you're frequently getting the most updated records, it may lead to increased DNS lookup times, potentially slowing down your internet browsing experience. It also puts more load on the DNS servers as your system will be making frequent requests. Adjust the settings according to your needs and network performance.

What is the TTL in Cloudflare Gateway DNS?

What is the TTL in Cloudflare Gateway DNS?

Cloudflare Gateway DNS doesn't explicitly specify a default TTL value for its DNS responses. The TTL value is typically set by the authoritative DNS server for the domain in question. However, Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver, which Gateway builds upon, is known for its fast propagation times, suggesting it respects the TTL set by the domain's DNS server. If you're experiencing issues or need to adjust TTL, it's best to reach out to Cloudflare support or consult their documentation.

What TTL range would you recommend for a content-filtering DNS to enable instant website blocking/allowing?

What TTL range would you recommend for a content-filtering DNS to enable instant website blocking/allowing?

For instant website blocking/allowing, you'd want a very low TTL. However, setting the TTL too low can increase DNS lookup times and put more load on the DNS servers. A balance needs to be struck. A TTL of a few minutes (say, 300 seconds) could be a good starting point. This ensures relatively quick propagation of changes while not overly taxing the DNS servers. Remember, the exact optimal TTL can depend on various factors and may require some experimentation.

Your feedback is understandable. Microsoft Edge currently doesn't have a direct policy to block explicit content like Chrome does. However, Microsoft is continually updating and improving Edge's features, so this might be included in future updates. Keep an eye on their release notes for any new policy additions.

Does Chrome's "explicit content" policy, which restricts URLs or direct access to explicit websites, work for unsigned, signed, and workspace accounts?

Does Chrome's "explicit content" policy, which restricts URLs or direct access to explicit websites, work for unsigned, signed, and workspace accounts?

Chrome's "explicit content" policy is primarily designed for managed devices and accounts, such as those in a Google Workspace environment. For signed-in accounts on managed devices, administrators can enforce SafeSearch and other content restrictions. However, these policies may not apply to unsigned or personal signed-in accounts, as they are not under the control of a Workspace administrator. For such accounts, individual users would need to enable SafeSearch or other content filters manually.

I was referring to the "explicit content" setting in Chrome's Group Policy on Windows.

Apologies for the confusion earlier. In the context of Chrome's Group Policy on Windows, the "Block access to a list of URLs" and "Allow access to a list of URLs" policies can be used to restrict explicit content. These policies should apply to all users on the device where the policy is implemented, regardless of whether they're signed in or not. However, for signed-in users, additional restrictions from their Google Workspace administrator may also apply. Always ensure to test the policy after configuration to confirm it's working as expected.

What is the extent or timeframe of your internet data coverage? Do you also use Google Search to find information?

As an AI, I don't browse the internet or use Google Search in real-time. I generate responses based on a large dataset I was trained on, which includes a wide range of sources and is regularly updated. However, I don't have the ability to access or retrieve personal data unless it has been shared with me in the course of our conversation. I am designed to respect user privacy and confidentiality.
