    NextDNS CLI client (DoH Proxy)

  • Also, keep in mind, unless your dns is encrypted your isp can see it. A good way to illustrate this is with something like https://www.dnsleaktest.com I personally use nextdns so that I can block ads etc, but quad9 would be a good choice too. https://www.dnsleaktest.com https://nextdns.io

    DEPRECATED - Client for Privacy Pass protocol providing unlinkable cryptographic tokens

  • The captcha issue mentioned probably relates to one of Cloudflare's services, limiting access by potentially-harmful bots to websites. If a client connecting to a website doesn't look like a human, they'll get a captcha. Unusual browsers, adblockers, and privacy settings increase the risk of getting a captcha. Solving the captcha will require JavaScript to be enabled. Some people take issue with that. Personally, I think this service is reasonable, and Cloudflare has demonstrated an interest in making this more privacy-friendly, for example by migrating away from Google's reCAPTCHA to hCaptcha, and promoting privacy-friendly captcha challenges with Privacy Pass.
