This improves the user experience in many ways: - Help user understand if DNSSEC is being used on the current DNS server in case 'allow-fallback' is supported. - Nudges the user to explore enabling DNS-over-TLS and DNSSEC. - Help user understand how global vs. link specific configuration works. Help user understand if a global DNS is being used. - Show the list of fallback DNS servers being used (as this poses privacy concerns). Also helps with debugging in problematic situations: - Find out which DNS server is being used (and leading to problems) and show the cycling mechanism. Tests: - Enable/disable fallback DNS server in privacy app. See that fallback servers line is only shown when enabled. - Set various global values of DNS-over-TLS and DNSSEC and see the status changes. - Set various values of DNS-over-TLS in the network connection settings and see the changes in status. - Set DNSSEC to allow-fallback. Perform a query and see that the value of supported/unsupported changes. - Set DNS servers with special configuration file in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/test.conf and restart systemd-resolved. See change in status page. Notice that if connection specific DNS server is set to an invalid server, global section has a current DNS server. - Set SNI domain name and port for the an IPv4 DNS and an IPv6 DNS. See that the display is as expected. - Raise an exception in get_status() and notice that an error alert is show properly.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)
The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
Getting Started
To have a running FreedomBox, first install Debian (Buster or higher) on a clean machine. Then run:
$ sudo apt install freedombox
Full instructions are available on FreedomBox Manual's QuickStart page.
For instructions on running the service on a local machine from source code, see INSTALL.md. For instructions on setting up for development purposes, see HACKING.md.
