I have had my (previous) ISP's DNS servers go on the fritz too.

Some of the external DNS servers that I use are:
FreeDNS 37.235.1.174 or 37.235.1.177
Google Public DNS 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4
OpenDNS 208.67.222.222 or 208.67.220.220

Get one of those entered in addition to your ISP's DNS servers.
Better still, enter both of those instead of your ISP's DNS servers and you should be good to go.

Guess you haven't "kicked up enuff sh*t yet then".. Good for you! Once these chumps get behind you, they can be a real pain.. Being on the wrong side of 'law' in India... Usually you'll suddenly start seeing 404s more often than you did earlier... ;)

I simply redirected my traffic, end to end ECC encryption, made it bounce off multiple servers quickly.. Its slower but basically your IP starts acting like a headless chicken on steroids.. They won't get a 'fix' very easily... :P

The 'intolerance' was actually sarcasm.. Like all those farzi poets & writers turning nationalist after losing their posh Bungalows & other Sarkari 'extra-official perks' just before Bihar elections, I decided to join the chorus too, albeit after the elections..! :twisted:

While its true that low tech humint tradecraft works true, its just not feasible anymore! The Paris attackers used PS4s to coordinate. Even Kashmiris are getting smarter than our forces. You would never catch them without off the air interceptors. The only way is forwards from here. If you're involved in something sensitive, you could try protecting your identity successfully for a while but ultimately they catch up!

Arre the server hosting IFG must be hosting other sites too.. One of them might've come under a DOS by someone hogging up its resources. IFG suffered as a side effect! GOI don't need to DOS IFG, they would simply make the webmaster take it offline! :lol:

Actually its fairly simple once you know how to do it. Besides its imp to remind these bullish punks who's their daddy once in a while. I hate the idea of being cowed down by 'chirkut chors' (my lingo for script kiddies!). When these NTRO newbies were running in chundies, I was busy writing some geeky code! :twisted:
mundaire wrote: Then it means that the IFG server is experiencing some issue (most likely higher load than it can handle). The reason you see this error page in stead of an IFG domain error page is because we have been using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) service (to speed up page load times) for some months now.
Yes Sir! CDN is good! I've been bothered by the security implications since IFG has a lot of members from security forces, both serving & retired. There are certain people very hard at work to find out as much about them as they can. There have many ugly tales of electronic compromise within our ranks... :cry:

Another area of concern has been the accessibility of weapons information by all & sundry. In India knowledge of such facilities is hard to come by for common people with a Jihadist mindset. I'm concerned we inadvertently provide them with a ready reference of usable information..!

There never has been and never will be any illegal information allowed to be posted on IFG. Also, I really cannot comprehend why any "Jihadist" would need to come to IFG to look for information on guns, they can easily find enough info (legal or illegal) from tons of resources spread all over the web... besides they have a ready supply of whatever they need/ want in terms of training or materials from providers across the border.

i was able to get some info about- Internet of Things..

Increasingly a large number of objects—including animals and people—are being assigned unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without human interaction. From handheld communication and entertainment devices (including televisions and webcams) to cars and household appliances and utilities (notably, smart meters), hundreds of objects now have IP addresses.

“In its extreme, everything can be connected to the Internet. It’s really just a matter of time, as these self-powered wireless-enabled computers become smaller and cheaper”. “Soon everything we do, both online and offline, will be recorded and stored forever.”

”Smart devices incorporated into the electric grid, vehicles—including autonomous vehicles—and household appliances are improving efficiency, energy conservation, and convenience. However, security industry analysts have demonstrated that many of these new systems can threaten data privacy, data integrity, or continuity of services. In the future, intelligence services might use the loT [Internet of Things] for identification, surveillance, monitoring, location tracking, and targeting for recruitment, or to gain access to networks or user credentials,”

The reality of ever-expanding panopticon surveillance was underscored last February when it was discovered Samsung Smart televisions listen to consumers. “Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party,” the corporation’s “privacy policy” for its internet connected television reads.

This is one of the reasons why open source software should be used and encouraged. Simple and effective answer to blanket surveillance is use of strongly encrypted connections for any type of communication.

The ubiquitous smartphone is perhaps the most dangerous snooping device.. The thing can report your location & more practically in realtime..!

Open source is one of the solutions. Problem is when the govts don't get it by snooping, they get it by muscle! Already a lot of pages & sites are 404-ing nowadays.. Guess that's the 'price' we pay for all the phoren weapons-tech & investment pouring in... ;)

Governments do have muscles power, just search the net for "torture India" it will give the idea of the extent of abuse of muscle power. Only solution to this abuse is creating awareness among people so that they force the government to stop abuse of any kind of muscle power. This is one of the reasons why governments want to keep the people disarmed and disinformed.

Error 404 can come for various reasons including clandestine traffic manipulation the by ISP, for clandestine censorship on behalf of government or other reasons. Did you confirm the error is not being sent by the website you are trying to reach but by someone in the middle?

Yeah! They're employing Israeli hardware nowadays it seems. Lot of geek stuff used by NTRO chaps is Israeli..
Lot of websites are being blocked. While considering the security threats faced by India they're really handy stuff. At the same time they shouldn't become tools for implementing the diktats of foreign pressure groups...

Yes sir! As 'mango-people' that's the best bet we have got... Accessing emails & social media accounts are fairly simple for these guys. Actually more bureaucracy than technology it takes...

The darknet has its own perils too. You never know the 'server' routing your clandestine traffic might itself be the snooper! ;)
