1) Rent yourself a VPS, install bind there (there's no DNS but bind).
Replace bind with unbound if you need caching-only nameserver
(caching-only bind is possible, but it's an overkill).

2) Apply [1] to your dnsmasq.

3) Your ISP gets a TLS tunneled DNS request (and they can't do anything
about it), you get unmolested name resolution.

stunnel can be replaced with ipsec or openvpn or wireguard.
Whatever you use as a caching DNS on your end does not matter, as long
as it can forward DNS queries to another upstream DNS.

Thanks for the detailed information.

I'm not familiar with bind. Does it work by consulting root name servers
directly?

It starts with the root servers and builds a database in exactly the
same way your ISP's DNS server does.  In fact, it is probably what your
ISP uses.

I see.

I have two reservations about the approach advocated by Reco above.
Maybe I'm not seeing some part of the big picture.

1. The risk of DNS snooping is merely shifted from the ISP to the VPS provider.
2. Having completed a DNS lookup unbeknownst to the ISP, we still have
to make a connection to the resulting IP address through the ISP's
gateway. The ISP can perform a reverse DNS lookup of the IP address if
they are determined to snoop.

Of course, the above can be mitigated using tor or a VPN, but setting
up your personal bind instance doesn't achieve much on its own.

Usually you have a limited number of ISPs to choose.
You have the whole Internet of VPS providers. Choose one that does not
screw with your traffic, and if you don't like that one - there's always
another.

And that is why it's important to use DNS over TLS.
Unless your ISP can magically decrypt TLS on the fly, the scenario
you're describing is impossible.

I think you misunderstand me. I'm talking about making a connection to
an IP address that you have already obtained by (encrypted) DNS. For
example, your personal bind instance tells you that www.debian.org
resolves to 130.89.148.77. Assuming you then connect to that IP address
through your ISP, there's nothing to stop them performing a reverse DNS
lookup on it.

To prevent that that I suppose you'll also have to setup a VPN to your
VPS ...

I misunderstood you indeed. While it's true that this particular threat
is something that DNS over TLS cannot guard against, I suggest you to
consider this:

1) Not every IP on the Internet has PTR record.
2) There are multiple cases of sharing the same IP between multiple
sites (including HTTPS).
3) For HTTPS (and TLS in general) there's more precise method called SNI
snooping (there's TLSv1.3 against *that*, but it's not widely adopted).

Right.  The ISP can't see what names the user is looking up but
Cloudflare sees every single one.  On the other hand, take a look at
  https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/DOH-resolver-policy

Not that I understand my ISP's privacy policy, but I don't see anything like
  [will not] sell, license, sublicense, or grant any rights to user data to
  any other person or entity.
in my ISP's privacy policy.  So at least in that sense, handing my
data to Cloudflare is better than letting my ISP have it.

How about as far as the "end user" is concerned? (which is what I

"integrity of zones" is part of "security" - yes?
DoT or DoH - either one gets you privacy from your ISP
DoT is easy to block, DoH is harder to block, so somewhat censorship resistant?

Yup, and probably a net win for people that don't have a clue about

An interesting declaration. For instance:

1. The resolver may retain user data (including identifiable data...)
but should do so only for the purpose of operating the service and
must not retain that data for longer than 24 hours.
...
2. Transparency Report. There must be a transparency report published at
least yearly that documents the policy for how the party operating the
resolver will handle law enforcement requests for user data and that
documents the types and number of requests received and answered, except
to the extent such disclosure is prohibited by law.


Thus:

a) Cloudflare is allowed to store whatever they want for 24 hours.
b) They aren't forbidden to give that data to the law enforcement, which
is not binded by that Mozilla’s Trusted Recursive Resolver program.
c) Law enforcement entity hires some independent contractor to help them
store this data.
d) Next thing you know, everyone's DNS history is world-accessible via
some unprotected ElasticSearch instance on AWS.
e) And the best thing here is - Mozilla legally allowed it to happen.

I happen to build chromium from the source from time to time. Recent
versions (>=80) require re2 regex library just for declarativeNetRequest
alone.

It's akin to the tempered glass. I.e. it's less likely to break than a
normal glass, but it's still transparent. It's also akin to building a
castle on a sand.

I.e. if the user does not care about security it may improve overall
situation somewhat, but the cost of this improvement is privacy.

Yes. My point is that it's only a part of the security. A needed part,
but a part nevertheless.

Both are easily blocked in their current form, in fact, DoH is easier in
this regard - it makes very distinct HTTPS (i.e. tcp:443) queries to a
ten (at most) well-known IPs.

No. You do not worry about something that widely happens, you deal with
it one way or another. And it's possible to sidestep GDPR just by
injecting "trusted partners'" ads in users' HTTP traffic, for instance.

Maybe I'm being naive, but I'm taking the clause "except as may be
required by law" to mean they can't just give the data to LE; there
has to be some kind of court order compelling them to hand it over.

Is there some other DNS provider that has a  published privacy policy?
 That's anywhere near as good as CloudFlare's?

To be clear - I'm not saying you should trust CloudFlare.  It's just
that I don't see a whole lot of options & quite possibly CloudFlare is
more trustworthy than your USA ISP.

Cool - so you would know the answer to this question: Is the chromium
you build from source code **totally** built from source code you have
with no binaries, libraries, DLLs, or anything else like that

Do you live in the EU?

Not everyone has the ability or inclination to do things like run
their own resolver or build chromium from source.  It's possible FF
enabling DOH is an improvement for most of their users.

I count a lot more than 10 DoH providers at

Wow!  I'm amazed that would be allowed in the EU

Some non-profit organisations here operate public non-logging[1] DNS servers.
They all support DoT, only some support DoH.
But none of them would have enough resources to serve all Firefox users in the 
world though.

I really don't understand the appeal of this approach on a Linux users'
mailing list.  The amount of technical knowledge and effort that it takes
to run your own caching resolver and point resolv.conf to 127.0.0.1 is
only *slightly* greater than the amount of technical knowledge and effort
that it takes to point resolv.conf to "some global caching resolver that
is like 8.8.8.8 but theoretically more trustworthy, maybe".

In both cases, the major issue is getting isc-dhcp-client and network-manager
and other such things to leave your resolv.conf the hell alone after
you edit it.  See <https://wiki.debian.org/resolv.conf> for help with
that.

Installing a caching resolver is pretty simple.  Editing /etc/resolv.conf
is likewise pretty simple, or *should* be for anyone on this mailing list.

Probably. But I fail to see how a court order will prevent such data
leak in the described scenario.

To be frank, then you have your own DNS, there's little need to be
interested in others' privacy policies.

I disagree. Cloudflare serves 10-20% sites on the Internet world-wide
already. There's no need to trust them to do DNS resolution on the top
of it.

I do it the same way as Debian does, from the same sources (but with the
custom patches on top on them).
So, chromium version 81.0.4044.92 contains:

1) 5412 assorted python scripts, which are executed during the build
process (maybe not all of them).
2) 16299 javascript files, but those are definitely not required by the
build process.

Since I do it for the Linux only, I could not care less if the source
tree contains EXEs, DLLs or other Windoze artifacts.
I'm definitely sure that there are no ELF executables there or pre-built
.so and .a files.
I should note, however, that Debian's chromium source is sanitized, and
certain parts of the source tree are deliberately removed.

YES! In fact, I do it after every update (once a month on average), and
check periodically just for the fun of it.
The answer is - the only connections it does without my intervention are
"trial experiment downloads" (it's clients[0-9].google.com), so I'm
looking for a patch to disable *that* too (currently I'm merely blocking
it).

Check out [1] if you're interested, that patchset rocks. Combining it
with Debian chromium patches is an interesting exercise though.

I won't answer that. Privacy.

If it bothers you (it does bother me), you probably should not take DoH
as your only means of defence. An ipsec tunnel to a throwaway VPS served
me well so far, for instance.

curl is ahead of Firefox in this regard. But it's a good list, something
one could consider for blocking the controversial feature.

I won't call it "selling" per se. It's rather "we provide our
sub-contractors with the data to increase the value of our services, and
we're closing collective eyes on what the contractors are doing with the
data".
I cannot disclose any names here.

The point is that if there is a court order then the data *will* be
handed over regardless of what the contract says.  "But I promised this
guy that I'd wouldn't reveal his secrets to the government" carries no
weight in court.

The clause makes it clear that data will be handed over if and only if
there is a court order.

I suppose you mean DoH specifically, as opposed to DNS over TLS (DoT),
but just to clarify for the record, they have implemented the latter:

Yes, DNS over HTTPS specifically is the concern.  DNS over TLS uses a
specific port (that they could change, yeah, i know) that I have
blocked, so I'm not all that concerned about DoT.
