HTTPS encrypts the host? Thought you had to know where to go to open that secure transmission. It's enough for your ISP to know you went to "pornhub.com" for example.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoThey won't know when you use an alt DNS or DoH.
- pritambaral 5y agoYou'll also need ECH, to avoid leaking your TLS handshake's SNI.
- greenyoda 5y agoYour ISP needs to know the IP address of the site to route your TCP packets there, and they can easily do a reverse DNS lookup[1] on it. So hiding your DNS query from them won't prevent them from knowing what site you visited. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup
- dimitrios1 5y agoExactly. At the end of the day, computers need a public address to find each other. And if you can find it, so can they.
- sk5t 5y agoYeah, despite ESNI and DNS-over-HTTPS it's likely an ISP could still effectively track usage of certain large-ish sites by IP address alone. Compare against the anonymity inherent in accessing s3.amazonaws.com/some-bucket/some-path.
