Most mobile ISPs in the UK use Procera Networks (now Sandvine) products that do basic deep packet inspection to filter traffic.

You can allocate users to pools and provide contectivity based on the pool, ie allowing you to limit speeds of high usage users or have different filtering lists like this under 18s list.

With these devices you are able to block traffic to specific domains even if SSL is used with relative ease.

As it is done at network level, you can't bypass via different DNS provider, only vpns can bypass

Not an expert at all, but my basic understanding of GDPR is if you outsource a service to a 3rd party and they collect data or do any processing that they shouldn't, you are essentially responsible.

Yes, the Brit plugs are great until you step on them in the night

The response to GDPR is interesting. If they are handling and selling your data in ways that are not compatible with GDPR, then you should seriously consider using someone else for that information.

The Three changes came in response to this change in regulations.

As a relatively new operator they have always hated roaming, as it has made them less then the established operators.

I've used Virtualmin and Horde for my personal email service. Virtualmin does a very good job configuring Dovecot, Spamassassin, Postfix, DNS, Apache/Nginx, etc and Horde is a very good web client for email, contacts, calaendar etc.

The script appears to be be at least part minerd, a program for bitcoin/litcoin mining.

Details of minerd at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55038.0

This is a un-true myth according to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar#Sacrobosco.27s...

use Virtualmin (http://www.virtualmin.com/), it will configure postfix/smtp, dovecot/imap, dns & web hosting.

Its abit like cPanel & Plesk, but you don't need to use the control panel if you know what you are doing.

have you used them? looks suspect.

i highly recommend gandi to everyone. Very good service, probably the best Europe based registration companies around.

I would definitely recommend using Virtualmin, its a hosting control panel that can control mail/websites/dns in one via a simple control panel.

All works like Plesk, but without breaking everything.

They've got a script that sets up dovecot, postfix, apache, bind, clamav, spamassassin, Mysql, and loads of other hosting software and then you configure every thing via a web interface.

Linux install script is at http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh, instructions at http://virtualmin.com/download

I use a catchall and give different email addresses to everyone. I've received 3 spam emails in the past month to my dropbox account, but they aren't the only ones with problems, for example the following are the number of spams for various sites: * 2 emails Foursquare * 6 emails Groupon * 6 emails Rackspace * 25+ emails Ticketmaster * 50+ Absolute Radio (UK Radio station)

Absolute Radio was hacked, not sure about the others.
