DNS over HTTPS

According to Wikipedia DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is a protocol for performing remote DNS resolution via the HTTPS protocol.

This to me translates to privacy and a lot more of it considering the fact that many ISPs out there tend to log this information on their servers and I personally don’t like some random third party to store information about me unless I specifically want that to happen after I understand the why behind it. Also, considering that most of them are not trustworthy with respect to how that information is stored (usually clear text) I’m thinking, even if they are not necessarily doing something bad with it, some bad actor that gets a hold of it from them ( by compromising their systems ) could

So, if you’re a fanatic like me, you’ll want to protect your privacy as much as you can and in the process learn some cool stuff.

Found two how to articles online (found more but these two seemed to be enough for me to get started):

One is https://www.aaflalo.me/2018/10/tutorial-setup-dns-over-https-server and the other one is https://www.bentasker.co.uk/documentation/linux/407-building-and-running-your-own-dns-over-https-server

I’m already using Pi-Hole so in my particular case I’ll be looking for a few ways to get it to do DoH for my personal infrastructure and at same time get it to connect to other DoH providers out there.
