Say (an encrypted) hello to a more private internet.

Nothing big, but kinda interesting. I'm excited to see how this will go ๐Ÿ‘€

While this is good for survielience circumventing.. It is looking like the beginning of the end of DNS filtering and the popularization of encrypted telemetry.

You can always set up a MITM on your network. But yeah, DNS filtering is doomed in the not so far future.

Does this preclude on device DNS filters?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it doesn't, though I'm not really a network guy.

I read through it, to me, it seems like on/device piHole etc. Would still be fine. But I am not a network guy either

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

PiHole might be a different story than your local device, I think that one might be affected.

That's an option, but its a lot of work and all you get in return is broken apps/websites and not being able to tell if someone is mitm-ing you mitm.

I'm sure some engineer out there is going to find a workaround, hopefully without breaking encryption.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Never had a broken website due to my own MITM.

You can do filtering and monitoring in the DNS server itself in corpo environment, like umbrella or AD DNS.
