From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

🚀 Privacy DNS Chooser Script v1.0 "Snow Breeze" Release!

Project source code : https://github.com/rollsicecream/privacy-dns-chooser

Dear Community,

I'm thrilled to announce the official release of the Privacy DNS Chooser Script v1.0, code-named "Snow Breeze"! This marks a significant milestone in my journey to simplify the process of enabling DNS-over-TLS with privacy-focused DNS providers on Linux systems using systemd-resolved.

Key Highlights:

User-Friendly Setup: Easily configure DNS-over-TLS with a seamless and intuitive CLI Interface
Privacy-Focused Providers: Choose from trusted DNS providers like Quad9, Mullvad DNS, and NextDNS (more coming soon!)
Enhanced Security: DNS-over-TLS is enabled by default for a more secure online experience.

How to Get Started:

Ensure you have systemd-resolved installed on your Linux system.
Download the script from GitHub.
Run the script with sudo to set up your preferred DNS provider.

That was also my question. A broader question is how to access services on the local network that are announced through local DNS? Like your router's web interface or any similar device.

Can you have split routing? Most queries go to our preferred DNSoverTLS endpoint, but some go to DNS53 on the local network.

This would also solve the captive portal if the host used to detect captive portals is always resolved locally.

Yes I think you can exclude local IPs in systemd-resolved
