  • you understandably sound confused

    I try to use “private DNS” option in my phone’s settings, but it often does not work, and therefore privacy cannot be protected all the time.

    when you have private DNS enabled, you have no connection if it fails. Is it in “auto” or is there a fallback option?

    Sometimes I just cannot even ping other servers by IP (like 1.1.1.1) because of it. My question is: WHY this function requires hostname (so you need to query some other plain text DNS before reaching encrypted DNS)?

    🤔

    Also if I understand well, it uses DNS over TLS, but I’m curious why not DNS over HTTPS (which seems like a reliable solution since I have it configured in my browser and there is never a problem with it…also it uses IP address instead of hostname).

    you shouldn’t use both, iirc. Your browser is bypassing your “DNS over TLS” in this case

    Why no one is seeing this problem and no one wants to address it?

    because there is no problem?

    I tried downloading Quad9 app, but it does not work either (I guess some IPS is filtering TLS requests in my network, but again why DOH is not used then?).

    quad9 app works as a vpn. What do you mean by “it does not work either”?









  • can you post your sources for this information? i would like to read some more on this ☞

    Just for reference, this is what the Google Play services app transmits roughly every 20 minutes to Google if it has network access:

    Phone #
    SIM #
    IMEI (world-wide unique device ID)
    S/N of your device
    WIFI MAC address
    Android ID
    Mail Address of your logged in Google account
    IP address

    it may help me convince some more people to degoogle their machines
