Stop using Google for your DNS.

@miah Quad9 (v4 address is obviously 9.9.9.9) is a great alternative. Run by a Swiss non-profit.

@woe2you @miah unless they #SelfCensor their #DNS again...

@miah@hachyderm.io never did! I use #OpenNIC: https://github.com/greyhat-academy/lists.d/blob/main/dns.servers.list.tsv

@DoctorBrodsky @woe2you @miah given #Quad9 bowed before the #Contentmafia and censored #DNS requests, I'll continue to recommend using #OpenNIC's Servers instead

94.103.153.176 & 2a02:990:219:1:ba:1337:cafe:3 as well as
144.76.103.143 & 2a01:4f8:192:43a5::2

  • If you only add a single #IPv4 address, no #IPv6 resolution will take place over said provider or worse even no IPv6 connectivity at all...

I merely retain quad9 on said list for archival purposes. I Yeeted #CloudFlare aka. #ClownFlare since they are a #RogueISP!

@kkarhan @woe2you @miah right. Now how do i make my android phone do this?
Show threadKevin Karhan Mar 30

@DoctorBrodsky @woe2you @miah There are some settings in the system...

Basically -> Settings -> Network & Internet -> Private DNS

and then add said IP addresses, seperated by a comma and space, like this:

94.103.153.176, 2a02:990:219:1:ba:1337:cafe:3, 144.76.103.143, 2a01:4f8:192:43a5::2

There are also some apps that make it easier to flip these settings...
