My ISP called and woke me up. No, they had no reason. Just asked what I use at home. I lied and claimed I do just little internet browsing. Fuck them. Get false information. That'll teach you to wake up and eepy catgirl. Monster.

@susie @eal @jonossaseuraava so querying root servers (assuming via unbound?) got you a handslap call from the isp? i run 2xresolvers/vlan @ home slamming root servers and after 1yr so far no issues. however the one time i tried to open up 443/80/25 i had to contact them to "upgrade to business class".

@jonossaseuraava @eal I got my internet cut off at my old place for running a DNS server (inside LAN only, but I queried the ICANN root nameservers directly). After trying to explain it to some guy who called I just gave up and stopped doing that. It was couple milliseconds faster damn it!
Also most ISP "bans" are on the DNS level, so rather than go hunt for mirrors it is better to just change the DNS from the default to some encrypted one (nextDNS, Adguard etc).

@eal @susie
Well piratebay and some other stuff must blackholed by law. One time my study mate told that they got a call from isp for running an old version on next/owncloud exposed to the internet, which i feel like is bit scetch.
-
@jonossaseuraava @susie required by law to do some analysis and keep some logs, but lots of ceremony before accessing any of it, phone caller definitely doesn't see that stuff
t. previous employer was an ISP

@susie
I wonder how much traffic analasysis they are allowed to do. I hope none.

@threat @eal @jonossaseuraava Yes. They claimed I was running a DDOS attack lol I was super confused until the guy said port 53 and I caught on. I bet they just didn't know what I was doing and some automatic alert popped up.
And no, it wasn't just a handslap call, it was a termination letter and cutting off the internet lol
Edit: and yes, I was running an unbound setup with squid cache. I was on my networking maxxing era.
