🚀 Privacy DNS Chooser Script v1.0 “Snow Breeze” Release!

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.

    In Germany every public wifi, train (ICE windows block cell internetand they are currently lasering small waves in them), hotels, cafes, private wifis even if you are a guest.

    Because of “data protection” everyone needs to accept TOS so every network has them.

    No idea where you live but cell data is often expensive.

    I just use the MullvadVPN app, my systemd-resolved is plain and insecure and Mullvad does all the secure DNS stuff. Obviously sucks and is not scalable at all.

    Systemd implementing a switch that could then be integrated into GUIs, like KDE6’s captive portal opener, is crucial. So for the portals you would make the DNS insecure, log in and secure it again. Best automatically.

      Ok. I will see that! If you have a GitHub account. You can make an issue right now, so tracking the issue would be better for me. Or I could do that myself.

      Edit : I have made a prototype that I could release it soon as an alpha. When it gets released, your goal is to test in a place where captive portals are present. Sadly, the script won’t be automatic but requires user interaction.

      Edit 2 : it is now available as alpha on the releases page.

          I have edited the release page for the alpha. I have modified the file to correct a bug and add the deletion of the backup file when the operation is finished and also restart systemd-resolved service.
