minus-square@w2tpmflink1•1 year agoThe security on your device doesn’t matter at all. For ANY device to reach ANYTHING on the Internet it has to send a lookup request to a DNS server to get the IP of the server. A privately controlled network can easily force all of those requests through their own private DNS server which captures all activity.
minus-squareTheProtagonistlink1•1 year agoI am actually running AdGuard Pro with a custom DNS on that device.
minus-square@w2tpmflink1•1 year agoThat device would not be able to reach th custom DNS in the scenario I mentioned. If it cannot fall back to the network’s DNS it would simply fail to reach any websites.
