DNS over QUIC

I use YogaDNS myself, but since the Home version is free, I’ve got to give it a try.

It was slow and I didn’t like it anyway. Going back to YogaDNS.

I’ve now set up DoH3 on the Yoga as well, somehow I’d forgotten about it since the browser uses it automatically if the DNS just supports it. So they both have different DNS. But thanks for the reminder!

What you meant to say was that from the website your visiting’s POV you can stand out because they can detect your DNS resolver and your VPN connection.

It was correct that this is a (theoretical) fingerprinting vector, you’re just looking at the wrong end of the connection :slight_smile:

How many websites do this check? It seems unlikely to me, but certainly possible.

Yes that’s it, I mixed up my recollection. Thank you.

I switched back to QUIC yesterday because I’m fairly certain that the issues I had last time were simply due to my own lack of knowledge. I had already noticed previously that the number of queries was just a fraction of what it was with DoH3, and now I’m completely convinced of it, yet everything still seems to be working correctly in my opinion.

The picture shows all activity from my PC over the last 24 hours.

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by getting YogaDNS to work with ProtonVPN? I have both.

I’m new to this, but what’s DOH3 and how does that relate to DoQ?

Yes, I agree completely with you! I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks Proton’s DNS is useless. For me, I would rather use NextDNS and I just extended my subscription for another year. I wish development was faster, but effectiveness and stability are more important.

How are you configuring YogaDNS with NextDNS?

The last thing I haven’t figured out is the firewall part. Basically, I’m looking for the equivalent of Little Snitch on the PC. What are you using and how are you configuring it to secure Windows 11?

You can find lots of instructions easily on the internet, so it’s not difficult to figure it out yourself. And I use Simplewall.

And if you can’t get it to work yourself, it’s better to stick with the VPN’s own DNS. And besides, I don’t want to be responsible.

I haven’t blamed you for anything. I just want to learn from you about your setup.

I was actually thinking about what you need to do to prevent DNS leaks and things like that. I meant that my usual advice for everyone is to use the VPN’s DNS.

I don’t want to, and I’m already using NextDNS.
