TIL you can also use 1.1 and it will expand to 1.0.0.1 $> ping 1.1 PING 1.1 (1.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 1.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=28.3 ms 64 bytes from 1.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=33.0 ms 64 bytes from 1.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=55 time=43.6 ms 64 bytes from 1.0.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=55 time=41.7 ms 64 bytes from 1.0.0.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=55 time=56.5 ms 64 bytes from 1.0.0.1: icmp_seq=6 ttl=55 t…

Lately I’ve been thinking about some concerns about domain name privacy:

• My ISP can spoof DNS responses.

• My ISP can sniff DNS requests.

• My ISP can sniff SNI.

• My ISP can look up reverse DNS on the IPs I visit.

DNS over TLS is nice—I just set up Unbound on my router to use 1.1.1.1@853 and 1.0.0.1@853 as forwarding zones. That eliminates the first bullet, at the cost of allowing CloudFlare to track my DNS requests.

I wonder how easy it is to route DNS‐over‐TLS over Tor?

> When we add TLS on top of the protocol, ISPs can only filter based on port at that point. And SNI… :(

If this were to become an issue, I guess Cloudflare could try to disable SNI.

The client sends SNI, so how could the server opt out?

Namebench hasn't been updated since 2010, but I just checked and it's running fine on my Sierra box. https://code.google.com/archive/p/namebench/downloads

The browser doesn't open after the operation/queries finish for me on High Sierra

It should still save the results, check your console and open the .html file

Sorry, but the only DNS resolver which can really claim to be "privacy first" and can be completely trusted is the one built with opensource code running on your own system.

So a VPS with enough storage plus Unbound and you're pretty much done in regards to "privacy first" and "trust".

Cloudflare is making a public pronouncement that they're not going to sell your DNS data nor track your IP address, with the implication that they will also not use the usage data to upsell you services. That's about the only additional "privacy" edge they offer. In the same breath, they insinuate that Google both sells and uses DNS usage from their 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 resolvers.

> they insinuate that Google both sells and uses DNS I don't think it's intended to say anything about Google specifically. Keep in mind that there are many other DNS services out there, and some of them are known for being pretty scummy, e.g. replacing NXDOMAIN results with "smart search" / ad pages.

>"I don't think it's intended to say anything about Google specifically"

Google is mentioned 13 times in this post and their resolvers 3. That's 16 total mentions of Google in their post.
