  • DOH goes over port 443 using https, impossible to block (unless you want to blacklist all possible URLs that might serve DNS) so cannot be redirected at network level, like with classic DNS, and uses SSL encryption so cannot be “sniffed” and redirected.

    In other words: say goodbye to ad blockers based on DNS like pihole or adguard

    While it seems good for your privacy, it’s a dream for Google and such, where PiHoles and such DNS blockers will be useless…









  • To be honest it’s mostly FUD. Self host email is perfectly doable provided that:

    • you don’t use your home IP
    • you do DNS records correctly
    • you do DKIM & DMARC correctly
    • you don’t send spam

    What happened to me over the years was having the subnet my ip was is being associated to spammers, and that was a problem. It took several iterations with blacklists and my provider to get it sorted. That’s why I recommend using a reputable service provider that take care of spammers in a timely manner.
