Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. (lemm.ee)

Centralization is bad for everyone everywhere.

That bring said... I just moved my homeserver to another city... and I plugged in the power, then I plugged in the ethernet, and that was the whole shebang.

Tunnels made it very easy. No port forwarding no dns configuration no firewall fiddling no nothing.

Why do they have to make it so so easy...

If you like 1.1.1.1 the. You should try 9.9.9.9. Or better yet host unbound pihole if you’re up to the challenge. Best dns experience I’ve had.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I already use pihole, but with cloudflared as the upstream. What benefits does unbound offer besides improved security?

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's actually better privacy since it talks directly to the root servers instead of cloudflare knowing all of your DNS traffic. Quad9 is a good alternative with better data policies

[–] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

So now your ISP sees all of your queries instead of CF. (Assuming the cloudflared option is using DoH)

I'll trust Cloudflare over Comcast/AT&T/etc. any day of the week.

It looks like Quad9 supports DoH: quad9

You might want to study more about SNI. Your ISP knows anyway

[–] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know plenty account SNI already, but thanks. You might want to study more yourself, since we're being condescending.

Well, running your own DNS server will also give you eSNI. And Cloudflare still doesn't know anything

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

You can run a VPN and tunnel your outbound DNS queries over that. Heck, you could tunnel your DNS queries over TOR

[–] maxwellfire@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Your ISP knows where you're going anyway. They don't need DNS for that. They see all the traffic.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you use 9.9.9.9, you should try Mullvad DNS (with adblocking) or AdGuard Public DNS

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Since we're all throwing out DNS options, I'll toss in NextDNS
