Centralization is bad for everyone everywhere.

That bring said… I just moved my homeserver to another city… and I plugged in the power, then I plugged in the ethernet, and that was the whole shebang.

Tunnels made it very easy. No port forwarding no dns configuration no firewall fiddling no nothing.

Why do they have to make it so so easy…

I mean, I used to think Google Public DNS was great until I switched to 1.1.1.1…

What benefits are you having from switching?

1.1.1.1/cloudflared responds crazy fast compared to anything else i’ve used. I really just wanted off Google (and before them OpenDNS). That’s about it.

If you like 1.1.1.1 the. You should try 9.9.9.9. Or better yet host unbound pihole if you’re up to the challenge. Best dns experience I’ve had.

If you use 9.9.9.9, you should try Mullvad DNS (with adblocking) or AdGuard Public DNS

Since we’re all throwing out DNS options, I’ll toss in NextDNS

I already use pihole, but with cloudflared as the upstream. What benefits does unbound offer besides improved security?

It’s actually better privacy since it talks directly to the root servers instead of cloudflare knowing all of your DNS traffic. Quad9 is a good alternative with better data policies

So now your ISP sees all of your queries instead of CF. (Assuming the cloudflared option is using DoH)

I’ll trust Cloudflare over Comcast/AT&T/etc. any day of the week.

It looks like Quad9 supports DoH: quad9

You can run a VPN and tunnel your outbound DNS queries over that. Heck, you could tunnel your DNS queries over TOR

Your ISP knows where you’re going anyway. They don’t need DNS for that. They see all the traffic.

You might want to study more about SNI. Your ISP knows anyway

I know plenty account SNI already, but thanks. You might want to study more yourself, since we’re being condescending.

Well, running your own DNS server will also give you eSNI. And Cloudflare still doesn’t know anything
