dnscrypt-proxy VS blahdns

I use dnscrypt 2.0 . https://dnscrypt.info/.

[anonymized_dns] routes = [ { server_name='*', via=['anon-plan9-ns2', 'anon-plan9-dns'] } ] skip_incompatible = true ``` I have all the default sources and lists enabled, and have not added any of my own. Load balancing is left on the default (p2). The documentation states::

It's up to you whether you trust Cloudflare or not. There are a lot of other DNS providers that can do DNSCrypt, DoH, or DoT. I think Firefox even lets you enable it by default very easily in the network settings.

I’m not familiar with DNSCrypt, but I found there might be a specific thing you need to run to completely uninstall it: https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/blob/master/windows/

Maybe check out the documentation? https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki

This is FUD. This possibility has nothing to do with HTTP vs. [some other DNS-like protocol] sitting on top of an encrypted connection.

This possibility is, however, enabled by having the application package its own DNS resolution.

If you want to use DNS over HTTPS as a system-wide daemon, you can use DNSCrypt 2 (https://dnscrypt.info/ ) and disable DoH within Firefox/Chrome.

My personal use-case is that I use DNSCrypt-Proxy (DoH) with dnsmasq (caching), and use very strict filters to block domains. I don't face any issues with the websites that I use regularly, but in some cases it can cause problems. Having DoH support in Firefox saves me time and effort it would take. I don't have to find and whitelist the domain(s), remove the filter(s) entirely, or disabling system-wide DoH, as I can just use a different resolver specific to Firefox.

There are alternatives which claim having a zero log policy. Some of them even block known ad and tracking domains. https://blahdns.com/

Ah, yes, that might be it...I use custom DNS ( https://blahdns.com/ and https://dismail.de/info.html#dns ).

NetGuard is interesting because it sets up a local VPN and you can set it to block everything from internet access by default and then manually decide what needs internet. Though, it does conflict with Blokada because that is using a local VPN too and you can only use one at a time. You could replace Blokada with uBlock Origin in your browser (I go with Mull) and the Blah-DNS, which is filtering tracking and ads.

BlahDNS

Adguard is already a private one (im using the app and dns), but try https://blahdns.com/ for no logging.

On Android 9+ go to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced > PrivateDNS > Provide a DNS provider hostname > enter dns.adguard.com or another adblocking DNS provider like BlahDNS
