brendynprurigro: I'm curious if you use any method for blocking certain things online, for example i never want any of my broswers to connect to certain ad sites, so a dns ban could work for that with a blacklist, sorta like how SMTP servers work to protect from spam.Jul 29 13:58

brendynDaemonFC said they allowed some adds on one of those worthless companies that buy domains and do nothing with them for reselligJul 29 14:43
