## Can DNS filtering be disabled?
There is no official way to disable DNS filtering, but there is a workaround: SSH to your Algo server (using the 'shell access' command printed upon a successful deployment), edit `/etc/ipsec.conf`, and change `rightdns=172.16.0.1` to `rightdns=8.8.8.8`. Then run `ipsec restart`. If all else fails, we recommend deploying a new Algo server without the adblocking feature enabled.
## Wasn't IPSEC backdoored by the US government?
No.
