Hi everyone,

I have been using cloudflared for DNS-over-HTTPS for the past 5 years and it’s been working pretty well. One of the reasons for using it was because my ISP was hijacking my DNS queries and changing it to their own DNS server.

However, I saw this news where the proxy-dns feature in cloudflared is being closed and they are asking customers to shift to their WARP client instead.

I want to know what the community is using for encrypted DNS services (DoH, DoT, DoQ)

Thanks :)

    Another approach would be setting up your own recursive revolver with e.g. Unbound. It’s debatable whether it’s more or less private than using DoH etc but it would bypass the DNS tampering by your ISP at the least.

      I doubt it because I could see that my ISP is doing a MITM attack on my DNS queries. Encryption is the only way.
