It apprears that NextDNS has removed No Google, No Facebook, and other blocklist without notifying users. One person said the NSA blocklist was also down. The company had made no responses to complaints on the community server when I checked earlier. Crickets…
I noticed Android and Linux being unable to access the app and web interface to confirm connections, starting some time on November 4th. I was able to switch DNS providers on Android and switch back, after which NextDNS seemed to work. On Linux however, systemd confirmed it was enabled but it went right to google’s webpage with no block.
If you’re on NextDNS, go check your domain filters ASAP. I switched to RethinkDNS, and it’s been decent so far. What is everyones preferred solution?
So I was using pihole with unbound, unbound was pointed at CIRA. So I thought my my stuff was secure, @randombullet@programming.dev pointed some things out to me so I spent some time trying to learn what ODoH was and a few minutes learning that unbound does not support ODoH, it does not support DoH, but it does support DoT. DNS over HTTPS was not new to me so I did not need to spend time learning what it was but unbound does not support it, DNS over TLS was new to me but unbound does support it. As a Canadian who has three different static IP addresses and currently 2 different .ca domains CIRA knows stuff about me but I am currently still cool with their up to 24 hour logging of my DNS requests, it is just my ISP knowing that I do not use port 80 or 443 for out going stuff as all my DNS requests go out through port 853.
