      I've never heard of this company, but the fact that a router is available with DNS over TLS built in is an encouraging sign.

        But internally the Device is not secure.

          1. If you have bad actors inside your network, you probably have bigger issues than them sniffing DNS traffic.

          2. Very few client devices or operating systems support any type of encrypted DNS lookup. This is just one small step in the journey.

            Oh I know, but that's where you should start, check internally and the go externally. I am just saying it because anyone that would like to claim their site to be secure and then just have clear text internally is kidding themselves.

              Except the thing you are protecting against here is specifically external.

                I still want to know how much of a threat DNS snooping actually is.

                I'm all for the Lets Encrypt goal of encrypt everything.

                But almost no where will this be useful.

                Most of your devices will use the DHCP assigned DNS server. So the external DNS traffic that is being encrypted is not able to be traced to the device behind the NAT in the first place.

                The linked article paints a horrible picture of IoT devices not using DHCP assigned DNS information.

                Block port 53 out and move on.

                  @jaredbusch yes, yes, and yes. I honestly wouldn't care if I didn't have so much free time at the moment.

                    I'm in the same boat. I get wanting to hide this from the government in some limited cases. But in general, I just don't care at all.

                      Which is a totally different problem that can't be fixed by DNS over TLS.

                        Also, I wonder how many of these devices actually do this. There was a link to an article for specific items that the author obviously says do this. But how many really do?

                        I have few IoT class devices at home yet.

                          @scottalanmiller - How different is this from Chrome and now Firefox using their own DNS settings and bypassing the internal/DHCP assigned DNS server addresses?

                            Same, and all SO TERRIBLE - if it is hard coded and not at the end users discretion. If it is end user managed, then it is the same as accepting DHCP.

                              I would guess very few, as they would break and be the vendor's fault very often.

                                @scottalanmiller - Yeah... I don't want my browser overriding the DNS server settings that are on my network for a reason.

                                  Not by the browsers choice instead of mine, definitely not.

                                    Added rule to my ERL. let's find out.. THe only allwoed IP right now is my internal PiHole.

                                    My DHCP is set to give out the PiHole and then the rotuer in case I shut down the VM.

                                            In Firefox, is network.dns.disablePrefetch controls what DNS Firefox will use?
