Quad9 dns address

There a service that Quad9 offers that does not have the blocklist or other security?The primary IP address for Quad9 is 9.9.9.9, which includes the blocklist, DNSSEC validation, and other security features. However, there are alternate IP addresses that the service operates which do not have these security features. These might be useful for testing validation, or to determine if there are false positives in the Quad9 system.Secure IP: 9.9.9.9 Provides: Security blocklist, DNSSEC, No EDNS Client-Subnet sent. If your DNS software requires a Secondary IP address, please use the secure secondary address of 149.112.112.112Unsecure IP: 9.9.9.10 Provides: No security blocklist, DNSSEC, sends EDNS Client-Subnet. If your DNS software requires a Secondary IP address, please use the unsecure secondary address of 149.112.112.10Note: Use only one of these sets of addresses – secure or unsecure. Mixing secure and unsecure IP addresses in your configuration may lead to your system being exposed without the security enhancements, or your privacy data may not be fully protected--------------------------IPV6: there IPv6 support for Quad9?Yes. Quad9 operates identical services on a set of IPv6 addresses, which are on the same infrastructure as the 9.9.9.9 systems.Secure IPv6: 2620:fe::fe Blocklist, DNSSEC, No EDNS Client-SubnetUnsecure IPv6: 2620:fe::10 No blocklist, DNSSEC, send EDNS Client-Subnet

Quick Links Encrypted DNS Is More Private and Secure First, Choose a Supported Free DNS Service Next, Enable DNS over HTTPS in Windows 11 Summary Windows 11 allows you to encrypt your DNS requests through DNS over HTTPS (DoH), providing enhanced online privacy and security. To enable DoH on Windows 11, go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi Properties > Hardware Properties and click the "Edit" button next to DNS Server. Enter a DNS server of your choice for IPv4 and IPv6, then make sure that "DNS Over HTTPs" is set to "On." For improved online privacy and security, Windows 11 lets you use DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to encrypt the DNS requests your computer makes while you browse or do anything else online. Here's how to set it up. Encrypted DNS Is More Private and Secure Every time you visit a website using a domain name (such as "google.com," for example), your computer sends a request to a Domain Name System (DNS) server. The DNS server takes the domain name and looks up the matching IP address from a list. It sends the IP address back to your computer, which your computer then uses to connect to the site. This domain name fetching process traditionally happened unencrypted on the network. Any point in between could intercept the domain names of the sites you are visiting. With DNS over HTTPS, also known as DoH, the communications between your computer and a DoH-enabled DNS server are encrypted. No one can intercept your DNS requests to snoop on the addresses you're visiting or tamper with the responses from the DNS server. First, Choose a Supported Free DNS Service As of Windows 11's release, DNS over HTTPS in Windows 11 only works with a certain hard-coded list of free DNS services (you can see the list yourself by running netsh dns show encryption in a Terminal window). Here's the current list of supported IPv4 DNS service addresses as of November 2023: Google DNS Primary: 8.8.8.8 Google DNS Secondary: 8.8.4.4 Cloudflare DNS Primary: 1.1.1.1 Cloudflare DNS Secondary: 1.0.0.1 Quad9 DNS Primary: 9.9.9.9 Quad9 DNS Secondary: 149.112.112.112 For IPv6, here is the list of supported DNS service addresses: Google DNS Primary: 2001:4860:4860::8888 Google DNS Secondary: 2001:4860:4860::8844 Cloudflare DNS Primary: 2606:4700:4700::1111 Cloudflare DNS Secondary: 2606:4700:4700::1001 Quad9 DNS Primary: 2620:fe::fe Quad9 DNS Secondary: 2620:fe::fe:9 When it comes time to enable DoH in the section below,

So right now I am trying to get quad9 setup with DNS resolver. I came across this article but not sure how accurate it is because I have come across similiar articles with somewhat different settings.So current settings:System --> General SetupDNS Servers: 9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112DNS Server Override: uncheckedDisable DNS Forwarder: uncheckedServices --> DNS Resolver --> General SettingsEnable DNS Resolver: CheckedNext few items defaultDNSSEC: CheckedPyhton Module: UncheckedDNS Query Forwarding: CheckedUse SSL/TLS: CheckedDHCP Registration: UncheckedStatic DHCP: uncheckedOpenVPN Clients: uncheckedIf I look at System information:DNS server(s)127.0.0.19.9.9.9149.112.112.112Why is 127.0.0.1 in that list?If I run this per that article - nslookup isitblocked.orgResults:Server: Name of boxAddress: IP address of my pfsense box*** Name of box can't find isitblocked.org: Server failedAlso if I go to Diagnostics -> DNS LookupI get the followingName server Query time127.0.0.1 30 msec9.9.9.9 7 msec149.112.112.112 2 msecAgain why 127.0.0.1 ?Any help would be great on if the above settings are correct?Then I can move onto some more testing to verify it is working correctly. Again why 127.0.0.1Do not use the forwarder.I hope this helps, br Krisz You even wrote this: Use SSL/TLS: CheckedDoes Quad9 support DNS over TLS? YESWe do support DNS over TLS on port 853 (the standard) using an auth name of dns.quad9.net.therefore, it is necessary to specify this field: dns.quad9.netLike: Of course, this is an example from my

Resolver:207.162.219.52Your first DNS point is suspicious: Yep but I can't figure out why it is showing up. @cburbs said in Quad9 and DNS Resolver:Yep but I can't figure out why it is showing up.This is a typical DNA leak from your OS, I think.Even if the NIC settings only point to the router in terms of DNS.I had a similar experience with a module of Avast antivirus software that was "trusted sites", if it is enabled then Avast will also connect to its own DNS server to check the sites you visit and of course log your browsings :-).Do you have similar software on your system? No and i get the same results off of my phone.Also if I switch to cloudfare and run dnsleaktestIP Hostname ISP Country172.68.173.29 None Cloudflare Portland, United StatesAlso Do you have any rules under firewal/rules/wan? @cburbs said in Quad9 and DNS Resolver:172.68.173.29Try looking in the state table for what is associated with this IP address. (Diagnostics / States / States)I will be more and more curious....With the settings discussed, the dnsleak test should show something like this....The only difference between the DNS settings of our systems is that I perform DNS queries through a VPN tunnel. (ExpressVPN)since the datacenter is two blocks away from me and both the Cloudflare and VPN provider ping times are 2 to 4 ms (therefore, DNS over VPN also provides very good speed)BTW, Do you have a VPN? No VPN here just trying to tweak my Pfsense box as a

System, you use your own 9.9.9.9 setting. :-) @DaddyGoOk that fixed that part. Makes sense too after reading on it more. Also if I do an Ipconfig /all on my devices should it be using my pfsense box or the above DNS settings? @cburbs said in Quad9 and DNS Resolver:Also if I do an Ipconfig /all on my devices should it be using my pfsense box or the above DNS settings?In your place, situation with this setting, I would only give pfSense to the DNS server, so that your DNS could not leak. ( with DHCP, but still only the pfSense box should be the server.Be careful with DHCP server + pfblockerng, create static entries for DHCPit’s an old story, so you can avoid the unbond of restarting multiple times @cburbs said in Quad9 and DNS Resolver:Static DHCP: uncheckedWhat I forgot: :-)if you decide to... and use DHCP on your network, check this as well: Static DHCP: to checked (this is in view of my previous remark) @DaddyGoSo DNS should be pointing to my pfsense box?When I go to dnsleaktest I Get the following -207.162.219.52 None Lightpoint Colocation & Hosting LLC Beaverton, United States66.96.115.176 res100.pdx.rrdns.pch.net.
