gollark: Anyway, with HTTPS being a thing basically everywhere and DNS over HTTPS existing, ISPs can only see:- unencrypted traffic from programs/services which don't use HTTPS or TLS- the *domains* you visit (*not* pages, and definitely not their contents, just domains) - DNS over HTTPS doesn't prevent this because as far as I know it's still in plaintext in HTTPS requestts- metadata about your connection/packets/whatever- also the IPs you visit, but the domains are arguably more useful anyway
gollark: On my (GNU/)Linux computing devices, which is all of my non-portable ones, I run dnscrypt-proxy, which acts as a local DNS server which runs my queries through DNS over HTTPS/DNS over TLS/DNSCrypt servers.
