Cloud-based methods and systems for content sharing are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems may include one or more processors configured to: receive, from a client device, an instruction for sharing a designated digital asset; retrieve the designated digital asset from a storage device; determine provenance of the designated digital asset based on metadata of the designated digital asset; generate authentication information based on the provenance of the designated digital asset; identify sensitive information in the designated digital asset; generate a redacted version of the designated digital asset by modifying content of the designated digital asset to alter the identified sensitive information; and provide the redacted version and authentication information of the designated digital asset to a recipient of the designated digital asset.

Cloud-based system for protecting sensitive information in shared content

A container may be created, and a plurality of domain name system (DNS) configuration objects may be added to the container. The plurality of DNS configuration objects may comprise at least one of private DNS zones, outbound forwarding rules, DNS query log configurations, and firewall rule groups. The container may be associated with a plurality of private logical networks. The container may also be across a plurality of customer accounts. Based on the plurality of DNS configuration objects, a plurality of DNS operations associated with the plurality of private logical networks may be performed. The plurality of DNS operations may comprise at least one of DNS query resolution, DNS query outbound forwarding, configuring a query log, or configuring a firewall.

Container-based association and sharing of domain name system configuration objects

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for customized domain name resolution for virtual private clouds are disclosed. A domain name system (DNS) resolution service receives a DNS request from a computing resource associated with a virtual private cloud (VPC) in a cloud provider network. The service determines that the VPC is associated with one or more firewall rules. Responsive to determining that the VPC is associated with the firewall rule(s), the service determines whether the DNS request is allowed or blocked according to the one or more firewall rules. If the DNS request is allowed, the service resolves the DNS request using a DNS server and returns a response to the computing resource. If the DNS request is blocked, the service does not resolve the DNS request.

Customized domain name resolution for virtual private clouds

Systems and methods are for domain name system (DNS) resolutions in heterogeneous network environments including a virtual private cloud (VPC). An administrator of a virtual private cloud (VPC) specifies rules identifying sources for resolving DNS resolution requests. The rules may include routing a request to a source outside the VPC such as to an on-premises DNS resolver through an outbound IP endpoint.

Resolution of domain name requests in heterogeneous network environments

According to a general aspect, a method includes receiving, at a network interface device at a user location, a request from a first machine located at the user location, the request including a first-machine identifier and a request to access through the network interface device a first location on a network. The method also includes logging, at the network interface device, the request from the first machine into a first-machine log for requests from the first machine, the logging into the first-machine log being based on the first-machine identifier. The method also includes receiving at the network interface device a request from a second machine located at the user location, the request from the second machine including a second-machine identifier and a request to access through the network interface device a second location on the network, and the network interface device, the first machine, and the second machine being located at a user location. The method further includes logging, at the network interface device, the request from the second machine into a second-machine log for all requests from the second machine, the logging into the second-machine log being based on the second-machine identifier.

Router-host logging

According to a general aspect, a method includes maintaining rating groups, each rating group providing a rating for content compiled based on information received from a user evaluating the content. The method also includes receiving, from a first user, a selection of a first rating group, from among the rating groups, to be applied to a set of users associated with the first user. The method also includes receiving, from a user, a request for a piece of content from the content. The method also includes determining that the user from which the request was received belongs to the set of users associated with the first user. The method also includes, based upon the determination that the user belonged to the set of users associated with the first user, accessing information associated with the first rating group and determining whether the first rating group includes a rating for the requested piece of content. The method also includes determining whether or not to provide information to the requesting user conditioned on the indication or absence of a rating for the requested piece of content within the first rating group.

Techniques are provided for leveraging narrowband connectivity (such as dial-up communications or other types of low bandwidth communications) to provision or configure broadband connectivity between a broadband access provider and a broadband device, such as a DSL modem or a cable modem. Specifically, because narrowband connectivity does not require advance configuration or provisioning by the host system of connectivity parameters for an access-seeking device, a modem at an access-seeking device may be leveraged to establish a narrowband connection between that device and a host system and to enable an exchange or negotiation of connectivity parameters necessary to enable future broadband connectivity. Thus, once established, the narrowband connection may be used as a conduit for communicating required provisioning information between the broadband-enabling host and the access-seeking device to enable broadband connectivity by the device in the future.
