I understand the approaches of DoT and DoH but people keep talking about privacy and tracking but it just seems like you can just run your own un-DNS server and get the same info by looking up the IP to get the DNS. You can still be monitored and controlled by IP, right?
- JohnFen 7y agoSorta. Not all IP addresses have a domain name associated with them. And if malicious software is actually using raw IP addresses rather than domain names, that makes it easier to stop them because you could just block those IP addresses. This is why that approach is rarely taken -- with domain names, if the IP address is blocked, you can just associate the domain name with a different one.
