After our main router/firewall died at Easter (sadly, it did not rise again), we threw a Debian laptop with an extra NIC in its place and carried on. This meant, as I hadn't spent any time configuring it, we were using our French ISP's DNS resolver.

That lasted until I tried to access #scihub, which is apparently *bloqué* en France! I've always run my own resolvers, so I've never come across this kind of censorship before.

New #FreeBSD firewall deployed with an #unbound resolver. Shields up!
