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

Nothing big, but kinda interesting. I’m excited to see how this will go 👀

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

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

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.

Never had a broken website due to my own MITM.

Does this preclude on device DNS filters?

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

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