this doesn't mean as much as you think it does.
It means they can snoop ur dns queries. ( and they will do or how they pay their bills? ) It means a lot. Tbh i dont understand people like you. "It doesnt mean as much..." inderect saying "I dont have to hide something" Oh can i watch you on the toilet? Because you dont have anything to hide :)
I said nothing about not having anything to hide. I said it doesn't mean much. dns resolvers were intended to be cloud based. the only difference between nextdns and standard dns resolvers is the control over function nextdns hands the user.
using cloud services also allows home devices to stay secured via keeping ports closed. the whole "the cloud is someone else's computer" is just another way of saying "I don't know how to practice good opsec".
your isp/vpn provider also can log all your data, or are you going to suggest running everything over tor now?
a dns query does not send that much info since all the contained data from site to user is encrypted and takes network routes separate from the DNS query.
using cloud services to keep ports closed. U know what the dns server needs to go through ports.
I never told u that i am not overly dramatic over privacy but nextdns is just a bad choice.
VPNs are just honeypots change my mind
you're a moron change mine.
You are just an apple fanboy change your address
I don't own an apple product lmao what. actually that's a lie, I use an old iPhone X as a remote for my chromecast.
