He's so powerful. He can slide buttons with his fingers no mouse required.

A few comments:

1. DNS lookups should preferably be done by the network stack in the operating system, not by the application, such as a browser. It might cause that different applications on your computer to connect to different IPs for the same site due to different IPs being returned by the DNS used by the browser and the DNS used by the OS.

2. So your ISP can't just look at your secure DNS requests to see what sites you're connecting to, but instead, Cloudflare gets to see all DNS your requests, so who to trust?

3. Some companies/organizations etc, use special domains and/or names for internal resources that are not resolvable by an external DNS provider like Cloudflare, so you might no be able to access them.

Cloudflare's main business is hosting sites and data for other companies, accessible with high performance and protection from DDoS attacks globally. Using dynamic DNS resolvers that map a name to different IP addresses based on network and system load, your location, location of data needed to serve your request, and so on, is an important part of that service.

Might they have additional motives to see as many DNS requests as possible? Let's say Bank A is a Cloudflare customer, would they be willing to pay for data on DNS requests for Bank B from a certain region for example? Of course, they would!

I'm not saying that Cloudflare does it today, but we all know that there is immense value in data regarding customer behavior.

Reason number 3: some countries like Australia have “metadata logging laws” where your ISP logs headers of your traffic and thus knows which websites you are visiting when you make requests via standard unencrypted DNS. If the DNS lookup is encrypted then this makes it harder for a third party (government, law enforcement etc) to track your browsing activities.

who else misses the poll feature lol, I remember all his videos had a stupid poll at the beginning...

[wvcaver]

been doing DNS over TLS for a while at the router level

[mikeeleren]

been using private dns a year already, so far so good it also improves my connection

[anshulhedau]

Me: So many work to do.
ThioJoe: *new video*.
Me: watches video anyway 😁.

[TheGoldenBat]

Thank you for splitting the spands of the video up to different chapters, this makes it allot easier.

[Harvestersz]

I do this the most secure method: I handwrite each DNS request, put it in an envelope, mail it, and wait for the reply.

I love the way he tries to dumb things down so even I can understand them. It didn't work, but I still appreciate the effort.

[meowxgamingstuff]

Bro I am one of your old subscribers... I always liked each videos of yours. Always learnt something new! You are so easy to understand. Massive respect.

Wow!! I'm so happy that I'm in this video. Thank you ThioJoe

[maineglass]

Very good cursory discussion on the why this information is important. The browser demonstrations that you provided were easy to follow. Love that this video was short and got to the point.

What is the difference between changing DNS from WI-FI setting and chancing from browser or system settings.

[SA]

I do this in Control Panel which gives a....'global effect' to this setting rather than effecting just one browser.
It can also be changed in Settings under Network & Internet \ Ethernet - then click on Edit next to DNS Server assignment

Thanks Thio! I'm one step closer to getting my pc to *MAXIMUM* power.

I have AdGuard DNS configured directly on my router. Greatly increases my connection speeds by automatically blocking spammy ad URLs from loading at all on my network.

[jkbobful]

good video Quad9 is also another good one even better than Cloudflare when it comes down to security

[kushmittal]

Good vid, you can gain 2.67M subs, just keep doing what you're doing. 👏
