We’ve added support for DNS-over-TLS (DoT) and DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) to our Primary DNS and Secondary DNS services.

DNS-over-TLS uses TCP port 853. It encrypts and wraps DNS queries and answers with the TLS protocol. The goal of the method is to increase user privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data via man-in-the-middle attacks.

DNS-over-QUIC uses UDP port 853. It has privacy properties similar to DNS over TLS, but uses the QUIC transport protocol. It reduces latency through 0-RTT/1-RTT handshakes, and eliminates head-of-line blocking using UDP.

We are using dnsdist to support new these new query methods on top of standard DNS.

Our new Account Security Settings was released today. This new section of the Account Control center allows you to manage your Two-Factor Authentication methods. Currently only the existing YubiKey OTP method is supported, but we’re working on adding Backup Codes and TOTP (Authenticator Apps).

Look for the “Security Settings” link in the My Account menu, or go directly to https://acc.rollernet.us/account/security.php

Future work will also include moving the password change page into the Security Settings section.

New streaming encoders that feed our weather radio streaming audio have been installed to improve quality. Most importantly, the Reno WXK58 stream is now a high quality stream.

Tuning uses a NESDR Nano 2+ software defined radio (SDR) connected to a Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ to encode as MP3 and upload to the streaming server. Each stream has a dedicated Pi for its SDR.

We’re just about sold out in Phase I and we’ve secured space for our Phase II colocation floor space. Contact us to reserve a space today. Keep watching our newspipe for progress updates as we work towards Roller Network Phase II opening day!
