Interesting I didn't even know SNI was a thing. But ISPs etc could still reverse lookup the IP I'm connecting to, right? Only in the case where IPs don't 1:1 map to domain names does this actually increase privacy, right?
For the most part yeah, but with limited IPv4, there can be multiple servers that share the same IP separated under a NAT. Definitely don't assume you're anonymous though. If it was IPv6 then it'd be 1:1 map to a specific domain.
With services like cloudflares WAF for things like DDOS protection becoming more prevalent, the connection from the client would first pass through a shared IP before being proxied to the actual server.
So; yes, but IPs:domains quite often don't map 1:1, increasingly so.
No mention if it works with DoT. Would much prefer Firefox keeping first party support for DoT as much as DoH. Ad/malware blocking becomes a nightmare with DoH.
