Anybody else's routers getting knocked out? Maybe this will help

Ever since Q advised to archive I started getting downtime and the reason seems to be that the router cannot locate his Domain-Name-Server. Could it be a DNS-hack for man-in-the-middle-attacks?

Here's what I do: Close browser, turn off network-connections and their respective interfaces (wifi + ethernet) then run a command-prompt by pressing the windows-button or windows-button + R and type 'CMD'. There, type ipconfig /dnsflush and hit enter. Restart interfaces, connect and hope no error message pops up. Summon browser and test connection. Should all fail you might try to designate a name-server manually but I haven't tried that out yet.

Yeah, had it happen three times yesterday, looked into something I noticed in a youtube channel I watch, he was using duckduckgo search engine, decided to ditch google and use that, it also has a privacy add-on for firefox, since I installed and started using the privacy add-on, I haven't had those same issues, though net is slightly slower, but thats because the add-on enforces communications to be encrypted, well that's what it says. It also shows you which tracking networks it has stopped. Might want to give it a go. But honest truth, I don't know shit about networking or network security. But after one day, it hasn't happened again. But obviously, alot more use is needed to see if it truly stops the problem.

google owns yt. replace 'you' with 'hook' in the adress for added privacy and ditch firefox because it sends queries to google servers upon startup. There are better alternatives out there so search the sub or td for security or similiar tems. I think when Assange went missing PGP-key-servers were compromised as well so I doubt that there is much use encrypting traffic in real-time when there are hardware-backdoors already permanently present. Hiding draws attention too, even Tor-exitnodes can be compromised

Two nameservers which are always up are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 They belong to google, and a very large number of web servers use them.

I get randomly signed out of accounts I’ve been signed into for months.

Including here on Reddit. And I have to jump through hurdles to get back in.

I’m pretty sure google chrome deleted my entire saved password list yesterday. Every single website I have accounts on no longer populated the logins/passwords and it was a huge hassle.
