When a website is blocked by DNS configuration, how does the "this website is blocked" message work, since DNS servers only respond with an IP address? For example how does Cloudflare's custom block message actually get displayed on the computer trying to access the website? developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/policies/filtering/…

@northerner short version is the returned IP points to a CF server instead of the real webserver, that CF server can then say "website blocked"

Anyone know if Microsoft has improved the security of password-protected Office documents lately?

@Michael They've been using AES encryption since at least Office 2007

Last I heard, that was the golden standard
