DNS ENCRYPTION
by Moses Njuguna 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

Hi listers, I would like to encrypt my dns requests so that my ISP does not "throttle" my connection based on the number of dns connections per sec/min. Has any one successfully used MS dns server forwarding with DNSCRYPT <http://dnscrypt.org> daemon? Or is there a simpler solution that achieves the same Thanks Moses

Re: [Skunkworks] Daily Nation ePaper - Download Script [Linux/OSX]
by Paul Korir 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

I'm not sure I agree... Two reasons: 1. Nation switched their ePaper provider to the current provider. The previous provider (an IT company based in India) was leaky and very many eyeballs got a hold of the PDF version. You could argue that this was part of their strategy. The current provider seems to be more secure implying to me (at least) that security is a factor. 2. Not too long ago they actually stopped providing PDF copies because of copyright infringement. They reinstated it shortly after maybe because of a loud outcry from their subscribers. In fact, immediately after they restored them, PDFs would download with a watermark of your username (your email). They later removed them which makes me suspect that there are invisible watermarks that can inform them which account is leaking their copy then possibly blocking only those accounts (I'm only speculating... I really don't know). Overall, the bigger concern is that we as tech creatives (sources of copy) should appreciate the importance of upholding other's right to copy because we will benefit from such an environment in the long run. Turning a blind eye is not a way to go. I think this is critical.

Fwd: [kictanet] Day 1:-How to Develop ICT infrastructure
by Mwendwa Kivuva 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

*How to Develop ICT infrastructure (Day 1-Wed 22nd June 2016)* *telecoms, broadcast, broadband internet, postal) *Investment incentives (FDI,Equity Shares) *Open Access *Infrastructure Sharing (Masts, Ducts, Wayleave etc) *Spectrum Management *Postal/National Addressing System *Data Centers, IXPs, CDN --- So further to the welcome message below, today, we kick off the discussion with Infrastructure issues in mind. Basically think about what needs to be done to ensure a robust telco/internet, broadcast, postal environment from an infrastructure perspective. The subtopics above being guidelines. Contentious issues have been around foreign direct investments with respect to the policy requirement for local equity shareholding. Should this be mandatory and at what % - keeping in mind that equity share holding requires local investors who may not always be keen in keeping money in ICTs (preferring traditional destinations of Land/Real estate). On Open Access, how far do we want this to go? In mombasa we have the submarine landing points implementing open access where SEACOM, TEAMS, LION, EASSy etc are open to any interested player and this has worked well. Do we want to see this principle practiced domestically in terms of infrastructure sharing (Masts, Fiber Ducts, and even Spectrum?) Finally what role do we see Postal Kenya taking within the ICT ecosystem, particularly with regard to the lack of the National Addressing system - which analysts feel is holding back the ecommerce potential. Lets hear your views today since tomorrow we move onto INFO-structure issues. walu. ------------------------------ *From:* Walubengo J <jwalu(a)yahoo.com> *To:* KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> *Sent:* Wednesday, June 22, 2016 10:25 AM *Subject:* ICT Policy Discussions:-Overview, Thematic Topics (Day 1 to Day 10) Greetings Listers, As promised on monday, we kick off the discussions today and would like to share the general flow and how we shall move.
