I use DNS over HTTPS (DoH) with Firefox, and i also use Simple DNSCrypt on Windows 10 for DoH, so that all DNS traffic is encrypted. I use the Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 DNS for both methods. So i have a few questions about this because i've no idea if i should be using DoH anymore... Does using DNS over HTTPS compromise AirVPN's privacy/security in any way? If i'm using AirVPN is there even any point in using DoH any more? For example, i'm guessing that AirVPN will no longer use my ISP's DNS and will also use DNS encryption, making DoH pointless? And i noticed that when connected to AirVPN it overrides the DNS settings of Simple DNSCrypt anyway. Lastly, should i disable DoH in Firefox? Because it seems to still be connecting to 1.1.1.1 even when i'm using AirVPN.

Hello! We're very glad to inform you that twelve new 1 Gbit/s servers located in Alblasserdam (Netherlands) are available: Aljanah, Alpheratz, Aspidiske, Capella, Eltanin, Larawag, Melnick, Muhlifain, Piscium, Scuti, Suhail, Tiaki. The AirVPN client will show automatically the new servers. If you use the OpenVPN client you can generate all the files to access them through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator"). The servers accept connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 1194, 2018 UDP and TCP. Just like every other "second generation" Air server, they support OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH, TLS 1.2 and tls-crypt. Full IPv6 support is included as well. As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses. Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue. Kind regards and datalove AirVPN Team

CiscoX i assume your having the same issue? auth digest algorithm should be sha512 ipvp4 network should be blank topology should be subnet under custom box remove: client; then post your openvpn log under status > system logs > openvpn if it still doesn't work

The only real problem with DNS over HTTPS I'm seeing right now is that it can lead to a centralization of the web (to some extent at least). If only a few providers offer it (Google and Cloudflare, to name a few big ones), and therefore everyone is using them, there will be no diversity. We know what Google does with DNS requests while Cloudfront at least has got the benefit of the doubt right now with their "privacy is key", "we don't care what sites we protect with our DDoS protection" attitude. It can change and then we resolve our queries at a malevolent, central location, which contradicts the design of the current internet a bit.

Yeah i noticed that too, it's why i stopped using Waterfox because it seems to be a little behind with new features. But ideally it would be best if DoH was supported in the router firmware although literally no routers support it yet. But Android Pie has DNS over TLC (DoT) built in to the OS, which practically does the same thing ,,,But i prefer DoH, because DoT uses it's own dedicated port, which means it can be blocked.

Encryption is always on, therefore, no, they can't. Unless you suffer from a DNS leak, of course. I've seen these options in a Firefox release but not in Waterfox (what I'm currently using). The latter is supposed to have feature parity with the newest Firefox release but it clearly doesn't. 😠

No, it'll be usual encrypted traffic over OpenVPN. If you use 1.1.1.1, yes, because the OpenVPN encryption is only active between you and the OpenVPN server, and anything beyond it remains "normal", e.g., DNS will still be unencrypted, HTTPS still encrypted, etc. If you use AirDNS, DNS over HTTPS might be overkill. How do you control it in Firefox? I briefly searched about:config for "DNS", "crypt", "secure" and "https" but didn't find anything relevant. 😮
