You ask “how so?” in another thread and then provide this false trichotomy with an unconditional “It’s not” as an opener. Shitty internet arm chair extremism at its finest.
Anyway, the fourth category is people who want to own their devices on their network and are being fought by the vendors of their Internet of things devices. When I have dns queries I can build a pattern of what it takes some rando device to operate and then lock down and alert on anything else. Can’t do that with DoH.
With DoH, I just have to allow opaque DNS smuggling to the wider Internet and hope that the device hasn’t been compromised. It’s trivial to run bidirectional c&c over DNS and DoH makes that invisible to anyone. It’s a monumental step back in security for the local network to improve the privacy of the individual device.
- josephcsible 4y agoIf it's possible for you to do what you're describing to your own IoT device, wouldn't it also be possible for you to do it to other people's laptops and phones that are on your Wi-Fi?
- kortilla 4y agoMight be, but that’s not my concern as an operator of my private home network. It’s completely fine for there to be conflicting goals even held by me. I want to not have my traffic interfered with when I’m on someone else’s network but I don’t want the vulnerable internet of shit stuff to be even more opaque on my network.
