The other day I was trying to connect to my self hosted DNS server and realized my queries were still going through my provider’s resolver. I confirmed it by running a dig test against an IP I knew wasn’t running any DNS service and I still got a response. So my DNS was clearly being intercepted somewhere along the way.
It feels like a quiet invasion of privacy. How is this still considered acceptable? I’ve since started routing everything through a VPN tunnel full-time, but it’s still unsettling that this needed a workaround in the first place.
