When FF added NextDNS as a DoH provider, it apparently flooded them. If a method isn’t almost the same as your ISP’s in reliability for at least a week, consider another one. With any new method you attempt, be sure to periodically do a DNS provider check with an online utility, some of which give bogus security statuses unless you use their services. It’s not perfect for the masses yet regardless of protocol. Not even going to begin describing all the variations present in our router’s Merlin firmware.Įncryption may not work on all sites, may fail gracefully and fall back to unencrypted, fall back to your IPS or block DNS completely leading to reboots of router, browser, computer, or maybe all. Add security against mitm’s with handshakes and no encryption or not. Use one of the many types of encrypted DNS. Set DNS in each adapter on a device, in all your devices.

You can do nothing and let your IPS provide DNS services. However you do DNS, keep it simple and understand whether your approach really does work the way you think all the time (or ever.) I don’t notice a speed drop in most cases.ĪdGuard DNS, standard filtering, in our router, unencrypted. I may sound like an ad, I know, but this thing works much better than any vpn I’ve used. I’m a Windscribe user primarily for international streaming, but I will probably switch over to ControlD because it does what I want and is a simpler, more elegant solution. I’ve had to fiddle with one or two sites, but it’s remarkably polished on launch and they’ve already added at least one channel, and responded immediately regarding an issue with another. It has a simple interface, allows custom settings for individual domains, and requires no installation.

I use it on an older chromebook wired to my tv for streaming. You can use it on almost any device, including your router. You can configure ControlD for any domain, and it already includes many preset services. All my local accounts such as banking, email, government, etc, are unaffected and work normally. I’m now able to switch between streaming services in Canada, the US, UK, and Switzerland simply by clicking their respective bookmarks – as if there were no such thing as geoblocking. The short answer is overcoming Geoblocking without needing to fiddle with VPN server settings when changing locations. I’ve been using ControlD since launch, for about a week now, and you’re not really explaining why someone would use this over another DNS. But it could be nice having AdGuard system wide as well.

So maybe I opt for the Adguard DNS with ad/tracker blocking after all, plus LS and one of the browsers. And the more granular ad/tracking blocking can possibly be dealt with Ublock Origin in the browser, plus whatver the browser itself can do via whatever in-built capabilities it got, depending on if I decide to go with Brave or Vivaldi it can differ.

But I hesitate using LS and Adguard at the same time since there have been some incompatibility issues in the past. But the granular control of LS are something that makes it stand out.

I know there are free firewall options available and also cheaper payed for Firewalls. I am also a little interested in AdGuard software, but not sure if I will buy it since I also have my eyes on Little Snitch as I feel I need to get control and close down the outgoing connections. I might opt for the unfiltered one, still not sure. But that makes no difference to me.Īnd in searching it seems that AdGuards DNS service with their no logging policy and strong privacy stand could be an option. I do trust what they write in their policy and that the little data they see is deleted after X hours (don’t remember exactly). But I am very eager looking to find a replacement due to Cloudflares extreme love for activism at work. And I have been happy so far with Cloudflare. Had used OpenDNS for probably around 10 years by then. I switched from OpenDNS to Cloudfare the same day Cloudfare launched it. The company states that it does not log user activity. The latter is required as it is used to known if a user has a paid account or not. The privacy policy reveals that the service is logging the timestamp of the last activity and the source IP address. I ran a benchmark for all four legacy DNS services, and they performed fine, but were not the fastest available options. Unfiltered does not block any traffic, and the three presets that block will block IP addresses associated with the types listed.Īdvanced users may use the addresses right away to set up the service, new users get configuration instructions on the ControlD site for all major operating systems and many other device types.
