Do I need to enable Warp/Warp+ on my home WiFi when I already have the 1.1.1.1 DNS set on my router? On iOS by the way.
What are you trying to achieve?
Your device will use the DNS that’s closest assigned to it.
I.e.
- DNS set on the device itself
- DNS inherited from the router if not set on the device itself
I get a bit of a kick out of these posts. Why?
If you’re worried about security and privacy, you’re doing it wrong.
Do you run adblocking etc on each device, and get frustrated when spam etc still gets through or you pick up a virus or malware?
Is your iPhone de-googled? What about your iPhone- how much does it report back to Cupertino?
Cloudflare mines your data as much as google when you decide to use their service…and you pay them to tunnel to their data collection with the latest “coolest” tunneling protocol. Apple’s not much better
What you should do: get a router that lets you run wireguard on it as a server, so that your mobile devices connect to it through a tunnel when you’re away from home network/wifi. Then, since you invested in networking hardware well, and have learned enough linux/command line stuff to apply the last step, extend it: run your OWN caching recursive DNS server on it, with DNS-over-TLS Encryption. That’s all that google and cloudflare do. They refer to the same Authoritative DNS servers you can with this method…and yours can often be significantly faster, because I doubt your network has to deal with as much data as cloudflare/google. Next what you do is set up a firewall in your router. Then- if you REALLY want to be super sexy about it- make sure it all happens over an IPv6 connection to your ISP, with the privacy flags set correctly. A privacy-friendly browser like Brave, along with using DuckDuckGo as your search engine goes a long (rather transparent) way to backing all of this ^ up in case something should find a crack to slip through.
My $200 router does all this, and more.
QED. DNSSEC, IPSec…Damn the man. You are not a product.
#ThisIsTheWay
1.1.1.1 is a DNS resolver that translates domain names into IP addresses. Warp is a VPN that encrypts and reroutes all your traffic through Cloudflare. They are not the same thing. You can use them at the same time.
Try it out and see if there’s any speed improvement for you, if it does then enable it.
What I am asking is if I put the 1.1.1.1 DNS at the router level and all the iOS app with WARP+ does is use the 1.1.1.1 DNS, should I turn off the VPN while at home or does it make a difference to stack them.
Does that make sense?
if y only need query dns to 1.1.1.1 and you connected to home network just disable it . if you subscribe warp+ and need all trafic route to cloudflare network enable it
