Makes me cringe thinking of all those years I was using Google DNS, back when I believed that “don’t be evil” shit
Now you cringe looking at all the idiots that seriously recommend Google and Cloudflare DNS to everyone for privacy.
Haha, yeah what idiots. Obviously we all know what dns we should be using for privacy but maybe someone should say it out loud in case someone doesn’t?
If you've got some free time and a spare computer, pihole with recursive DNS, it blocks ads and queries the root DNS servers itself (requires some extra set up though).
Other services like Quad9 are good for networks other than your home though.
I have a first get raspberry pi sitting around somewhere that needs a job, this may well be the sol. Thanks.
Rethink Dns is so sweet
I currently use NextDNS, it’s cheap and works great. You can basically set it up like a pihole, so I have ad/tracker blocking across all my devices and anything on LAN.
Google: whatever you do, don't
googlesearch Quad9 or NextDNSPersonally I use the cloudflare option but specifically route the DNS traffic, along with everything else that can be out a pair of tunnels rather than the WAN to merge it with everyone else using the same endpoints, but whatever solution works for you.
Which one?
What do you use now?
NextDNS, been using it for a year and a half now. I like the ease of use and privacy/ad block filter options.
