> Dubbed Oblivious DNS-over-HTTPS, or ODoH for short, the new protocol makes it far more difficult for internet providers to know which websites you visit.
> Here’s how it works: ODoH wraps a layer of encryption around the DNS query and passes it through a proxy server, which acts as a go-between the internet user and the website they want to visit.
A proxy server provided by Apple or Cloudflare? That sounds a lot less private than what I have now honestly.

- ThePowerOfFuet 5y agoIt's not just the ISP; web sites won't get the client's true IP either, further stymying user tracking via IP correlation.
- bandie91 5y agoare not they? web traffic is disconnected from DNS once the name resolution is done. neither ODNS, DOH, nor other dns solutions masks your IP in web traffic. VPN does (there are vpn-over-dns solutions like iodine, but we aren't talking about it). Edit: sorry I noticed you probably talk about web proxy servers provided by big corp. in this case, yes they "protect" you from your ISP's this kind of espionage.
