![]() Hypothetical here, not disparaging Windows Defender, I simply do not know.Īs I recall when Windows Defender first launched it was limited in capability. ![]() Then again, how would you know if nothing you use can detect the infection? Most malware is hidden in encrypted tunnels. It encompasses (at a minimum) application layer visibility and control, URL filtering, anti-virus, and IPS engines onto a single hardware appliance along with a whole array of additional features (depending on vendor you go with).ĭisclaimer: Antivirus and Anti-Malware is not very effective on your firewall if you aren't decrypting SSL/TLS traffic. NGFW is an acronym for a Next Generation Firewall. UBlock Origin is a browser extension that blocks advertising and scripting elements that potentially come through. ![]() If it's a real domain like, my Pi-hole forwards on the request to OpenDNS where I get the real IP address of OpeDNS has built in blocklists for malicious domains.īasically: When my computer requests domains such as my Pi-hole gets the first request and will black hole the DNS request so my device never sends or receives content from that domain. This is where DNS requests forward to for stuff that isn't blocked by the pi-hole. Then my pi-hole DNS server uses Open DNS as its forwarder which is a highly reliable DNS server on the internet. So basically, advertising, telemetry and other advertisement and device tracking domains are blocked when devices on your network request name resolution. ![]() You add blocklists to it that are community provided that blackhole domains at a DNS level. Pi-hole is a DNS server that you run at home.
