Advanced Plus Security Numeriku's Security Configuration 2023

[Numeriku]

I do agree that NextDNS is a great option. Unfortunately, my ISP provided router does not support changing the DNS. Thus, add NextDNS manually to secure DNS settings in my browsers. The windows client had DNS leak issues for me. Apparently, my ISP is so aggressive against changing DNS.

NextDNS with Osid filter is superb.

Flashing router with dd-wrt, is not an option? Yeah, I have next DNS on my other router with oisd list for phones, smart tv & consoles.

As I mentioned the router is provided by my ISP and apparently they locked it down. I do not have admin privileges, instead they gave me user rights. It is a Kasada router btw. Fortunately, I can always use NextDNS via DNS over HTTPS in my browsers.

Unfortunately, only cheap TPlink routers are available in my country. KW5262B is the model number of my router.

Just do not forget to change privacy settings to prevent Avast from sharing your personal info with 3rd parties.

Yeah already disabled except for community iq.

• Replaced Avast Ultimate with Kaspersky Total Security
• Replaced ublock origin with Adguard

Yeah, it is nice to use, but 99.9% of my time is on the browser and DNS-based adblocker doesn't block certain sites that have video ads like youtube, as for security, already have f-secure browser protection and some filters from browser-based AdBlock unlock origin. Didn't really abandon it though, on my other router for phones, smart tv & console, I switched it to next dns as I think it would be better for those kinds of devices.

How's like Numeriku?
