Techlore | My Even DEEPER Dive into Custom DNS Across VPNs... @techlore | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Let's deep-dive into the recent video I published covering my NextDNS + IVPN configuration - covering mistakes I made, diving deeper into the hole, and directly addressing some of your questions & concerns. Also diving into Windscribe, ProtonVPN, Mullvad, and more.
Recent video: youtu.be/xIXG3cFT6O4
➡️ NextDNS Kickback Link: nextdns.io/?from=5v4be7mt
➡️ NextDNS Standard Link: nextdns.io
A few more updates:
- IVPN updated their documentation to be clearer! ivpn.net/knowledgebase/general/custom-dns
- Android is actually using DoT, NOT DoH. Though for the purposes of this video this shouldn't impact the takeaways or general concepts.
- NextDNS has an open source CLI tool, though their native clients don't appear to be open source. With that said, we're not trying to use the native clients & I'm not concerned with the server being open source since there's no way for us to verify they're running that code anyway. But definitely a correction for people who desire more of these things.
- Linux & Windows have native DoH options that *may* work with some of these VPNs. (Didn't test this myself)
Thank you to people who are sharing more information regarding this situation, as always - I'm learning more from comments on YouTube than from service's themself, which is really my core complaint here.
