Not happy with only your ISP and government knowing where you're going online? Install DNSCrypt and add some more third parties to the mix.
[edit] From DNSCrypt's own front page:
Please note that DNSCrypt is not a replacement for a VPN, as it only authenticates DNS traffic, and doesn't prevent "DNS leaks", or third-party DNS resolvers from logging your activity. The TLS protocol, as used in HTTPS and HTTP2, also leaks leaks websites host names in plain text, rendering DNSCrypt useless as a way to hide this information.
- ymse 10y agoThis is true. It's more of a DNS MITM protection rather than privacy fix. There are other uses of DNS than just HTTP(S) traffic though: but I'm sure these mass surveillance entities sit on massive reverse DNS databases anyway, rendering the effort mostly useless.
