Just an fyi. DoH is a fucking nightmare for network management. For example, if you use a pihole on your network, you 100% do NOT want devices using encrypted DNS.
I have a mini PC that is always on that runs my NTP and DNS, and it’s upstream DNS is quad nine out of Switzerland. (9.9.9.9). I tend toward the same usage patterns daily, and about a third of my requests never leave my home DNS to get resolved.
The TTL nowadays is about 3600 seconds, so I think that at about that rate your DNS server would flush stored entries every hour one by one and ask to 9.9.9.9 an update. That’s basically how every DNS server works (and I guess that even the ones embedded in router’s works like that with caching). Is your setup different? If yes, in which way? Thanks
I set it up a long time ago, so I don’t honestly remember. I followed some guide, and did a few domain redirects to point at stuff on my home network and to shut Zuck out of my life, but I didn’t do anything crazy. So, I doubt it, but I don’t know.
I meant Cloudflare DNS, I don’t understand why Firefox uses Cloudflare DNS when there are so many other great options like NextDNS. The reason why many people in the privacy community dislike Cloudflare or CDNs in general is because they are often hostile to VPN or TOR users, and they centralize the web.
