What problem does this project solve?
It's not immediately obvious what the thing does from the description.
- sciurus 10y agoThe description sounds pretty clear to me. "A caching DNS proxy for the Google DNS-over-HTTPS. It effectively encrypts all your DNS traffic." https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/dns-over-https https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/dns-over...
- dexterdog 10y agoWhen you are out and about with your laptop you are usually making your DNS calls to the local router which many view as a big privacy concern. Even if you use something like google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 public DNS servers as your defaults the traffic is easily sniffable.
- icebraining 10y agoWhen you connect to any site, your browser sends the domain in clear-text (even for HTTPS - see SNI). The only way to avoid this is to use a VPN, but then you can route regular DNS over that too.
