Privacytools.io: ๐Ÿ“ Correction | Cleanup DNS page

Created on 19 Apr 2020  ยท  4Comments  ยท  Source: privacytools/privacytools.io

Description / Why I am making the suggestion

I'm thinking the DNS page could be cleaned up: it's quite busy with the lists. Below the table, we have these sections:


(table)

  • Terms

    • DoT

    • DoH

    • DNSCrypt

  • How to verify DNS is encrypted

    • DoH / DoT

    • dnscrypt-proxy

    • DNSSEC

    • QNAME Minimization

  • Software suggestions and Additional Information

    • Encrypted DNS clients for desktop



      • Firefox



    • Encrypted DNS clients for mobile



      • Android 9


      • DNSCloak


      • Nebulo



    • Local DNS servers



      • Stubby


      • Unbound



    • Network wide DNS servers



      • Pi-hole


      • NoTrack



    • Further Reading


I'm wondering about this outline instead for the DNS page:


(table)

  • Terms

    • DoT
    • DoH
    • DNSCrypt
  • (header) Encrypted DNS Client Recommendations for Desktop

    • (card) Firefox's built-in DoH resolver
    • (card) dnscrypt-proxy (for DoH, DNSCrypt, Anonymized DNSCrypt)
    • (card) Unbound (for DoT, DNSCrypt)
  • (header) Encrypted DNS Client Recommendations for Android

    • (card) Android 9's built-in DoT resolver

    • (card) Nebulo

  • (header) Encrypted DNS Client Recommendations for iOS

    • (card) DNSCloak

(list) Further Reading


And move the "How to verify DNS is encrypted" list to a new DNS related Wiki page.

Overall, I think we should shift some of this info to a new Wiki page and caridfy other info (related to https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/1466). I think the goal of this page is to share some providers that support encrypted DNS and then some client recommendations for users to then easily start using encrypted DNS if they want to. This cleanup would help refocus the page for this goal.

While we're at it.

We need to remove SecureDNS as they are shutting down on April 30. https://securedns.eu/

We also need to add Vultr.com to AdGuard's hosting.

Consider https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/pull/1453 when redoing the site. Possibly for inclusion on the wiki instead.
