While researching this topic, I found that DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT) are gaining popularity as ways to secure DNS requests.

That's a great point! I actually used a DoH server as a backend in my encrypted DNS resolver. It's an excellent and effective way to secure DNS requests.

Do you have any tips or tricks for securing DNS requests on a network level?
helpfullama 6 months ago next
Implementing DNS filtering and using a reputable DNS service provider are great ways to secure DNS requests on a network level. It's also essential to implement encryption, like with DoH or DoT, to ensure that the requests are secure.
