If you don't trust your ISP's DNS two of your best alternatives (from a privacy standpoint) are likely Quad9 and Mullvad (yes the VPN people)

#Privacy #DNS #Mullvad #Quad9

Your ISP logs every website you visit through DNS—these are the only 2 alternatives I trust

Unprotected DNS requests mean someone could easily spy on you. Changing your DNS is almost as easy as doing nothing, so why wait?

#Quad9 DNS seems down, 20 reports on Downdetector. Or is it just me?

Funny thing is that their status page (status.quad9.net) isn't reachable either.

also consider:

⚙️ set custom DNS for the WiFi network(s) you use regularly that has malware / ad blocking – I like #Quad9’s 9.9.9.11 Secured w/ ECS option but YMMV -> https://quad9.net/service/service-addresses-and-features/

🔧 run a #PiHole on your home network if you’re so inclined & don’t mind the #sysadmin overhead

J'suis entrain d'installer LibreWolf sur une nouvelle machine et franchement y'a tout ce que j'aime déjà par défaut :
- uBlock origin
- le DNS over HTTPS de #Quad9 sans filtre
- les Tab containers

Ajouter une langue à l'interface est simple : tu choisi une fois, dans un menu la langue que tu veux et hop lui il se démerde avec la langue de son interface, la correction orthographique de tes saisies, la langue à réclamer pour les pages web… parce que ça aussi c'est la pagaille dans Firefox.

Avec LibreWolf, par défaut le navigateur reste un navigateur et n'envahit pas ta vie privée en retenant tes mots de passe, cartes de crédit, adresses postales…

Anyone finding #Quad9 #DNS causing issues?

I'm recent days I've had lots of failures to resolve after a couple of weeks of it all working fine.

Just turned the Android app off and bingo, everything loads super fast.

LibreWolf vs #PiHole: The results are in. 📉

Tested #LibreWolf (stock) + #Quad9 DNS.

Result:
859 extra leaks blocked by Pi-hole after 4000+ uBlock blocks.

Firefox leaked 1150+, LibreWolf 859. Better, but still a massive leak.

The lesson? A 'privacy browser' is just a cleaner window. You still need a solid door like #PiHole to keep trackers out.

Finally got around to setting up DNS over TLS to Quad9. I know it’s a relatively small security bump, but it’s still pretty cool to have encrypted DNS running network wide.

@adfichter Wie sperren die das denn technisch. Über DNS? Reicht es den in der Schweiz ansässigen DNS-Provider quad9 einzustellen um das zu umgehen? #quad9
