RuCenter Prepares DNS Guard Launch for Early Cyber Threat Detection
RuCenter is preparing to launch DNS Guard, a system for early detection of cyber threats at the DNS level. The solution will monitor suspicious activity within infrastructure and identify signs of attacks before they lead to outages affecting websites and corporate services.
According to RuCenter research conducted in 2026, 53.4% of companies encountered domain incidents, yet only 31.5% of organizations have formalized rules for domain management.
DNS Guard will integrate analysis of DNS traffic, control over changes to domain records, and verification of DNS zone configurations. The system will be capable of:
- Tracking modifications to DNS records, including those critical for website operation and corporate email;
- Detecting forgotten subdomains that could become targets for attackers;
- Identifying anomalous DNS queries to reveal suspicious activity and indicators of impending attacks;
- Auditing DNS zone configurations to assess domain infrastructure settings;
- Sending notifications about critical events so IT specialists can respond promptly.
For analysis, DNS Guard will utilize RuCenter’s proprietary DNS infrastructure. This approach enables detection of recurring anomalies in queries directed at various DNS zones managed by the company. The system is aimed primarily at medium and large businesses that operate large numbers of domains. API support is planned to facilitate integration with corporate information security systems.

Windows and MacBook Pro Setup Combines Local Network Access with Dual VPNs and Kill Switch Protection
A user detailed how they integrated an older MacBook Pro into an existing Windows workstation environment while preserving separate user accounts, file sharing, and independent VPN connections. The setup required careful routing configuration to keep the Kill Switch active on both Amnezia VLESS and AmneziaWG without breaking local SMB connectivity. After initial failures caused by the Windows Kill Switch blocking the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, split tunneling was implemented to route local traffic directly. Separate macOS accounts were created for daily use and a dedicated “Serverok” account for remote scripting and compute tasks. SSH and SFTP ultimately replaced problematic SMB shares for the secondary account, enabling reliable file transfers at over 50 MB/s. The configuration allows simultaneous or sequential use of both machines while maintaining strong VPN protection on each.
VPN Admin Evolves from AmneziaWG Panel to Visual VPN Infrastructure Management Tool
VPN Admin has transitioned from a specialized panel for AmneziaWG into a comprehensive visual system for managing multi-protocol VPN infrastructures. The new architecture introduces abstract concepts such as servers, network interfaces, provider resources, users, and directed links between interfaces, allowing the core to remain protocol-agnostic. Support for AmneziaWG, Xray, and Hysteria 2 is delivered through independent providers that handle deployment, configuration schemas, and runtime operations. A geographic map and Network Graph editor enable operators to visualize server locations, build multi-hop routes, and monitor latency across chains of arbitrary length. Dynamic forms generated from JSON Schema manifests allow new protocols to be added without modifying the admin interface itself. End-to-end tests confirm that mixed-protocol chains of up to eight servers function correctly with real HTTP traffic. The project is released under Apache 2.0 with desktop, Docker, and standalone web server options.
Rostelecom Suffers Mass Outage Disrupting Website, Mobile App and Personal Account
Rostelecom experienced a significant service disruption that left its official website, mobile application, and customer personal account either unavailable or functioning with errors. The first reports of problems began arriving around 12:40 Moscow time. Over a 24-hour period, the monitoring service Detector404 recorded approximately 2,500 user complaints. The largest share, 59 percent, originated from the Nizhny Novgorod region, followed by 4 percent from Kursk region and 2 percent each from Ryazan and Ivanovo regions. Rostelecom has not issued any official statement regarding the incident, and the root cause along with the timeline for full restoration remain unknown. The outage occurred in the same week that hosting provider ESTT suffered a similar infrastructure failure.
Russian State Duma Rejects Bill Proposing Fines for Covering Face in Public
On November 11 the State Duma rejected bill No. 1159193-8 that sought to introduce a new article in the Code of Administrative Offenses punishing appearance in public places with a face covered in a way that prevents identification. The draft included exceptions for medical reasons, official duties, weather conditions, and sports or cultural events. Two committees of the Federation Council on defense and security as well as constitutional legislation opposed the measure. The Duma committee on criminal and administrative legislation found the wording too vague and lacking legal certainty. It also noted that new offenses require prior federal-law prohibitions. On the same day lawmakers rejected another bill introducing criminal liability for crimes committed with deepfakes.
