Here are three upcoming webinars (one series, two one-time) that you might be interested in.<br class=""><br class="">----------<br class=""><b class="">Using the Kea DHCP Server</b><br class="">This series of six bi-weekly webinars will enable a LINUX or UNIX system administrator to successfully deploy the open source Kea DHCP server. We will begin with a review of DHC protocol basics. Attendees will learn how to install, configure, and monitor a Kea DHCP server to assign dynamic and static IP addresses and IPv6 prefixes, and configure appropriate client options such as the default gateway and DNS server.<br class=""><br class="">Register once for the entire series: all sessions will be recorded and the recordings posted within a few days, so you can easily review any sessions you miss. Each session will last approximately one hour, including Q&A as time permits.<br class=""><br class=""><u class="">Schedule</u><br class=""><div class="">• <b class="">September 16</b>: Session 1.

Unfortunately, the classic DNS protocol was never designed to protect end-user privacy.<br class=""><br class="">After a few years of relative calm, the IETF has intensified its work on privacy in the DNS, and new DNS protocols have been standardized: DoT (DNS over TLS) and DoH (DNS over HTTPS).<br class=""><br class="">With the initial euphoria about the prospect of encrypted DNS over, disillusionment has been spreading in the IT community - the first implementations of DoH in major web browsers cause concerns that privacy data will be collected centrally at US cloud providers, a step backwards for user privacy.<br class=""><br class="">But the story is not over yet. New protagonists Apple and Microsoft have joined the fray with new and interesting ideas about DNS encryption.<br class=""><br class="">Please join us for a FREE webinar on <b class="">Wednesday, September 23 at 10 AM PDT/1 PM EDT/5 PM UTC</b>.
