You only have to walk HALF way to the gym.

I literally just wrote out how it works and you are repeating it back like it’s new information 😆

I know exactly how it works. I use it every day. I never said it isnt easy. I said it’s more steps to set it up.

Rufus: run exe, pick iso, run it

Ventoy: run exe to install it, run it to configure the drive, copy ISOs over to the drive

For setting up a drive that’s going to be used repeatedly and continually changing what’s on it, Ventoy is the superior tool.

For a one time use to quickly get a ISO over to a USB… Rufus is quicker and gets the job done.

…and again…OP already has Rufus in hand. There’s no reason to get another piece of software that doesn’t offer any advantage to OP’s task.

Ventoy is great, but…

1. It takes a few more steps to setup than Rufus, and you still have to set the right boot mode

2. The tool OP already has should work so there’s no need to send him to download another piece of software if he can complete the task with what he has.

UNetbootin stopped being useful a long time ago. Rufus is OK as long as you set it up right.

Partition scheme: MBR

Target system: BIOS or UEFI

File system:FAT32

Then in the BIOs setting on the HP go to advanced and set “Legacy Support Enabled”. Save and exit.

Smash the F9 key repeatedly during boot to pull up the boot menu. You should see your USB device listed to pick and boot from.

Use Firefox to browse it. This addon keeps FB in its own container so it can’t read anything from other sites you visit. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/facebook-container/

Then just make a throw away email and use that to make a FB account.

Self hosting an email server paints a giant target on your back for hackers. It’s a huge pain in the ass to keep it secure.

That device would not be able to reach th custom DNS in the scenario I mentioned. If it cannot fall back to the network’s DNS it would simply fail to reach any websites.

That only provides a secure connection to the DNS server. The DNS server can still log your activity.

When on a private network, all DNS traffic can be forced to use a inhouse DNS server that records everything.

Products such as Cisco Umbrella cover both. There’s a DNS appliance inside the network, as well as a client software that installs on devices that forces them to use Umbrella’s public DNS server when being used on another network.

This means we can track everything on the company owner device, even when you are at Starbucks or at home.

Never expect privacy on any device and/or network you don’t have ownership and control over.

The security on your device doesn’t matter at all.

For ANY device to reach ANYTHING on the Internet it has to send a lookup request to a DNS server to get the IP of the server.

A privately controlled network can easily force all of those requests through their own private DNS server which captures all activity.

We record network traffic, not data from your browser. We can see every URL any device on the network hits, regardless if the traffic comes from a browser or even a phone app.
