Open DNS for DNS filtering and ad blocking
To achieve DNS filtering and ad blocking similar to the discontinued Eero Secure, you can use Open DNS. They offer options like Family Shield and Open DNS Home, which allow you to customize your filtering preferences and block adult content, gambling sites, and more. Point your router to Open DNS's DNS servers and configure the settings to suit your needs.
Consider CloudFlare DNS for reliable DNS services
If you're experiencing issues accessing certain websites through links on your Eero Wi-Fi system, it may be due to your current ISP's DNS servers. Consider using CloudFlare's DNS service (1.1.1.1) for reliable and fast DNS resolution. Update your router's DNS settings to use CloudFlare's DNS, which can help resolve DNS-related issues and improve overall browsing experience.
Contact GoNet Speed Fiber to resolve website access issue
If the problem persists even after trying different DNS options, it's possible that there may be an issue with your GoNet Speed Fiber connection. Reach out to your ISP's support team and describe the issue in detail. They may be able to assist you further and help troubleshoot the website access problem you're experiencing.
Mac OS containers allow running Mac OS apps in Docker containers
The Mac OS containers project enables running Mac OS apps inside Docker containers on a Mac. This allows for a static environment that can run a specific Mac OS app without being affected by changes in the surrounding system. The project is installable via Homebrew and offers an innovative solution for developers and users who want to run Mac OS apps within containers.
