Naomi, your videos are awesome. Your laymen explanation completely removes the complexity, confusion and mystery. Thank goodness there are individuals like you to explain items that non-technical folks can understand. Keep up the good work. 🙂🔆
i'm always impressed by her tech know how even if some of it is overviews. clearly has done her homework on the subject and it shows. ty for that Naomi.
I wonder if she knows who Rob Braxman Tech is, who's available on RUclips is. I don't know half of what Ms. / Miss Naomi Campbell had just said,such I'm not a techie. But I DO know a few things that are important to any computer software system program. Instead of spending countless days,weeks,months,or even years just to know if your home computer is currently doing all right. No. What's best for the goose,is bad for the gander. Well, there's a difference between a BSSID and a SSID on the back of every computer module and/or its monitor, there's a way to avoid being discovered whenever you're anywhere on the internet. What about the people who had been strongly advised not to use TOR network for doing banking online on their smartphones? Degoogled smartphones are one of the best ways to have a piece of mind. Whenever anyone does that online,and having sensitive information that's out there. Every time you post about anything on any social media platform, your data gets sent to some data broker company,gets collected, analysed,then gets sold to them. What can Naomi Campbell do about that? What's her advice on what to do,and what NOT to do. I guess we got to look on her NBTV channel and her useful other website and find out. Education is key.😀
Videos like this that break down each option in pfsense helps make it understandable. Thank you for this and I really look forward to more videos like this on pfsense!
Excellent explainer. I would love to see companies put more effort into selling off the shelf products configured with privacy first settings, but at least we have some great resources to DYI here on RUclips. Thank you!
This is awesome! Thank you for your tireless efforts to provide such needed and great information and for keeping us up to date on all the ways our privacy is under attack. You're the best! Thank you!!
Another great video explaining what happens behind the ropes.... It’s crazy how much information is shared with a simple text , ie: “Ok” It has stuff like time, geolocation the model of your device the OS it’s running your digital identity and a lot more... Imagine talking to a friend and at the end of each sentence you would have to tell the time, where you’re located what phone you have , the phones model plus it’s serial number , the duration and in some cases what you talk about or share with friends....
Thank you. I bought a Protectli on your advise and have just finish setting it up. I am going to replace the company router. Thanks for your videos, I watch them all
I used to do that with PiVPN, but the people behind it don't know how to make it work with AdGuardHome the way it can with PiHole, so it's a bit useless as it is not even maintained. I asked on the site and the developers of PiVPN could not answer any simple questions on how to make it work with AdGuard Home.
Another great presentation. I look forward to every one of them. If I had learned about this years ago when I had the chance, I would've been much better off, but then I might not have ever found your presentations. You're definitely helping this Sigma find his way through the dark. It's rare for me to need so much assistance and I appreciate it more than you could ever know. Thanks again.
Well, in fact I use pfsense dns resolver along with a pihole, but the pihole points to my pfsense, and pfsense's dhcp point to pihole. It's a clever way to make both work with double privacy. Thanks a lot for the video!
Glad to be any help for you but ... I missed your rambling (sigh). Seriously though I appreciate your content and collaboration with other like minded professionals to overcome the sneaky opportunists (kind description). Again, Thank you.
For some reason quad9 is using TLS 1.2 instead of the latest TLS 1.3. QUAD9 also doesn't have ODOH or ECH which are latest standards.. So quad9 while being dedicated is a little behind the competition like cloudflare. I sincerely hope they get up to speed & add more worldwide PoPs/datacenters, peer at more exchanges & do the necessary for regions that need quad9 the most.
You do realize that upgrading to the latest version has risks such as zero day and unpatched exploits right. Plus TLS 1.2 has far less valnerabilites than TLS 1.3 . Also the difference 256 bit encryption vs the 512 bit encryption is the load time, the actual ability to keep your traffic safe is next to none. Deuces
Checking DNS query forwarding will set unbound in forwarding mode not resolver mode. Sending all queries to quad9 instead of the root servers directly. Tought one... The default is resolver mode - unchecked.
Am I able to do pretty much the same with my Xfinity gateway (as long as I don't have it in "auto-switching mode")? And sans the software? Would be great if you would cover these gateways, or make a short "how-to" or tutorial video about making Xfinity gateways more secure beyond the regular, "Change the password, stupid:" videos common on RUclips. This is a great tutorial BTW. Thanks for publishing! 👍🏻
Unrelated to this video, but it is your latest at the time and I wanted to reach out. Seems in Australia it is impossible to do the MySudo approach for "cell phone privacy". Can you make a video or blog post about solutions/alternatives? Or is there no way we can remain contactable yet anonymous over mobile data networks when away from Wi-Fi?
When you have a vpn, the VPN actually is in charge of your DNS, but you can tweak things. I have changed the dns settings on my router for all of the devices on my network that I can't install a VPN on, and my VPN takes care of dns for my phone and computers
To simplify it a DNS service is the equivalent on old landline phone being able to show you who’s calling or who you’re calling. So you don’t have to know the IP adresse (phone number) to the site you just use it’s name...lol How many of us are not using phone numbers anymore, but imagine if we had to remember the IP adresses of all the sites you visit... So it’s easy for a DNS service to route you to a bad site, since they decide what number you’re dialling...
ok, ummm... how do i get pfsense? went looking says i need netgate installer, zero charge wont continue after filling out page checking agree thingy at bottom ... now what?
Hi, I need your help. I have Ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop and it has a VPN settings configured on it. I think its managed through pfsense I use this VPN to connect to my work environment Now my query is that when I connect to this VPN I connect to my work network & am able to work inside it, but this disconnects the internet connectivity that is working on my base machine. I want the internet to be working on my base system as well & also should be able to connect to my work network as a lot of websites are blocked inside the work network. Split Tunneling is enabled on the VPN server but it seems my system is missing some configuration which is causing it to not work Can you please tell me what settings I need to do on my laptop VPN to make this work. Kindly help. Thanks & regards,
This video is outdated. The "DHCP Registration" section no longer exists and I can't find that setting anywhere in the current version of pfsense. Excellent video otherwise!
USELESS unless you ALSO force DNS redirection so NO COMPUTER can use/contact OTHER DNS! Another EXAGGERATION to get clicks/fans, BUT, at the end of the day, SOMEBODY WILL KNOW your DNS queries and your ISP may not “see” your DNS queries but the ISP is the one that will ROUTE YOUR CONNECTION, right?

Tech influential & stylistically💃💃💃awesome!!!

Naomi, it's very important that you cover the limitations of each video's approach. Even the obvious ones, since you have a lot of new viewers.
Excellent explainer. I would love to see companies put more effort into selling off the shelf products configured with privacy first settings, but at least we have some great resources to DYI here on RUclips. Thank you!

She's so knowledgeable and smart. I absolutely love this channel.
I've setup unbound in my opnsense thanks to Naomi. Good stuff.

Just a healthy reminder that Naomi is the greatest.
Thanks very much. Plz do more pfsense videos.
Using pfSense as a vpn to my home is a very useful feature no matter where I am, thx
I used to do that with PiVPN, but the people behind it don't know how to make it work with AdGuardHome the way it can with PiHole, so it's a bit useless as it is not even maintained. I asked on the site and the developers of PiVPN could not answer any simple questions on how to make it work with AdGuard Home.
Thank you so much for this video series on pfSense. I find this topic to be fairly complex but with each video, I’m learning more.
Thank you, your video's are so educational and i like many i hope, appreciate the time, effort and information that comes from them. Awesome work!
Man, Naomi is truly going very deep inside the pfSense realm 🔥🚀
Have a great weekend and keep it up the great job 💪🏽
Disable override DNS, which allows your DNs servers to be overridden by your ISP via WAN
Naomi thank you very much for this great video. Can’t wait for the next one!!!😊
Thank you so much for the wonderful information. I'll be able to set this up now. 😊
Another great presentation. I look forward to every one of them. If I had learned about this years ago when I had the chance, I would've been much better off, but then I might not have ever found your presentations. You're definitely helping this Sigma find his way through the dark. It's rare for me to need so much assistance and I appreciate it more than you could ever know. Thanks again.
You basically described my exact setup over the course of this series. Good to know im on track lol
Well, in fact I use pfsense dns resolver along with a pihole, but the pihole points to my pfsense, and pfsense's dhcp point to pihole. It's a clever way to make both work with double privacy. Thanks a lot for the video!
How do you use both
Thanks, Naomi!
Thank you once again Naomi.
I love you Naomi!
So informative. Very useful info. Thanks.
Amazingly useful videos... Thank you!
Do a review of the Firewalla Gold 🤓
I have considered this setup first time I set up pfSense, by then I ended up using pihole as my DNS resolver.
Great work. Thank You.
Thanks for keeping us safe!
Glad to be any help for you but ... I missed your rambling (sigh). Seriously though I appreciate your content and collaboration with other like minded professionals to overcome the sneaky opportunists (kind description).
Again, Thank you.
haha glad someone likes the rambling ;) Thanks for watching till the end!!
Thank you Naomi.
Thanks Ron!
Making the unknown known.
Thanks!

Good video.
I have subscribed to you
Thank you!
i would love to see a video about super apps cuz it seems that everyone want to make one
Good Video
A number of DNS providers support Encrypted DNS - more than "a few" in-fact.
I like pfsense, but I prefere AdGuard inside docker, it's simpler to manage
Do I see a Frazetta on the bottom right of your wall? Can't tell from my phone screen.
Checking DNS query forwarding will set unbound in forwarding mode not resolver mode.
Sending all queries to quad9 instead of the root servers directly.
Tought one...
The default is resolver mode - unchecked.

How do i check if the configuration is working?
I feel like such a nerd since I memorized all four of quad9's DNS servers.
im using portmaster
Naomi, I wish to know if this works also on a Swisscom router and with ProtonVPN working? Many thanks for your great and informative videos.

10:25 I see what you did there :D
What about OPNsense, a fork of pfSense? Heard that OPNsense was forked because of lack of updates/improvements to pfSense over the years.
Helps
Hard coded dns clients ignore port 53.
@Naomi Wondering if you have come across Qortal? Private Decentralised Internet etc.
Hi,
I need your help. I have Ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop and it has a VPN settings configured on it. I think its managed through pfsense I use this VPN to connect to my work environment
Now my query is that when I connect to this VPN I connect to my work network & am able to work inside it, but this disconnects the internet connectivity that is working on my base machine.

Can you please tell me what settings I need to do on my laptop VPN to make this work. Kindly help.
Thanks & regards,
how do we download torrents in private
thanks
Just resolve it with the owning NSs. You aren't hiding as much as you think you are until ECH is everywhere since ESNI is dead.
This video is outdated. The "DHCP Registration" section no longer exists and I can't find that setting anywhere in the current version of pfsense. Excellent video otherwise!
Can you please show how to install protonvpn and how to make your phone use the pfsense as a vpn please please and thank you for all your content
Hi Naomi, what’s the difference between this and a good VPN?
I don’t completely understand 🙁
This gives you more granular control. A good VPN is a more simple way to have someone else handle your DNS
@@NaomiBrockwellTV But that's not as fun!
@@NaomiBrockwellTV It also breaks a lot of sites and a lot of the internet! People put massive block lists together than ruin most sites.
But what is pfsense?
👍🏻
🙏💗🔐💯Best privacy channel on RUclips ! And nicest host RUclipsr as well. Have a "private" crush 😍 for Naomie and her cause💗
I have a crush on privacy
OPNsense is better
1st! 😁
hi!
USELESS unless you ALSO force DNS redirection so NO COMPUTER can use/contact OTHER DNS!
Another EXAGGERATION to get clicks/fans, BUT, at the end of the day, SOMEBODY WILL KNOW your DNS queries and your ISP may not “see” your DNS queries but the ISP is the one that will ROUTE YOUR CONNECTION, right?
my dns has been hijacked so badly that i can't even run this video
This is the most over complicated idiotic process I have ever seen. It is 2024. Why is this stuff so difficult?
Grandma is back again 😂😂😂😂 xD
How does quad9 make money?
I'm surprised you choose pfSense over OPNsense, but great video regardless.
Sure wish this was OpnSense instead of pfSense seeing how pfSense does not have a very good business model and history.
0:54 I swear I heard you saying "beafing up your ass up"
I wonder if this can be done with pihole unbound to encrypt the queries to quad 9.
