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:

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

    No need for a systemd switch. It should work with a dedicated “portal” browser that bypasses the global dns and has a built-in resolver using the dns from dhcp.

      Yes if that works for sure. Problem here is that GNOME and KDE use different webengines, so yay no standards. Firefox doesnt support that I think?

      I use a seperate firefox profile with a shortcut like

      blabla desktop entry
      Name=Captive Portal
      Exec=mullvad-exclude firefox -P captive http://captive.kuketz.de
      

      I wanted to do something with mullvad-exclude but that didnt work for some reason, as when excluding it I think it had no internet?
