Using OpenDNS and DD-WRT

I was in a situation very much like this guy and I need to block access to other DNS from within our company network. Some coworkers are technology savvy enough to disable the static network configs on their workstations and in effect bypass our web filters.

Here’s what I did on our dd-wrt router:

1. Administration -> Commands (after typing the code below, click on Save Startup)

dnsmasq -S 208.67.222.222 -R -i br0 -p 1054

2. Administration -> Commands (after typing the codes below, click on Save Firewall)


iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -i br0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $(nvram get lan_ipaddr):1054
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i br0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $(nvram get lan_ipaddr):1054

Quarter Century Today

I turned out not so bad :D

Changing of the Keys

While checking http://pgp.mit.edu/ for my keys, I found out that I already have five keys in total on their servers. Two of them were already revoked while three remain valid. Of these three, two are for the same email address (F53365DF and 72F7709B) while the other one, though unique, (0DC971F3) is for an email address I’m no longer using.

This is therefore an announcement that from now on, I’ll exclusively use F53365DF as my PGP KeyID for my fedoraproject email.

Bit of Wisdom

This is one bit of wisdom i got last night during our boot camp:

You’re only a failure when you stopped trying.

Something to think about while dreaming awake :)
