I know it’s not a vpn post but it has something to do with privacy so thought I’d post…
Switched to cloudflare DNS servers feel alot faster than Google’s and they also don’t store logs 
I use Cloudflare’s DNS over HTTPS for an extra layer of security to go with my PIA connection.
Using Cloudflare DoH (dns over https), plus pi-hole (gets rid of 99 percent of idiotic internet advertising) on a vpn system.
I wouldn’t trust them though
I’m using a VPN and after I change my DNS settings to 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1 and then flush the cache… when i check back after a system sleep or reboot the settings have gone and been replaced.
Is this because I am using a VPN?
Anyway to stop this happening while keeping a VPN?
Why aren’t you using your VPN providers own DNS?
LOL
What makes you think they don’t keep logs? In fact, you’re just adding an extra layer of compromise to your OpSec, besides trust your VPN to don’t keep logs now you have to trust Cloudflare to don’t keep logs as well. VPN DNS are good enough
I’m doing the exact same setup😊
Can you (or someone) point me in the direction for setting this up?
For starters, how to set up DoH ? Thanks.
What os is this on, windows, Android?
I found Cloudflare’s to be faster.
To bring up your point, here is Cloudflare’s privacy policy for using their DNS.
Cloudflare will collect only the following information from Firefox users:
Timestamp
IP Version (IPv4 vs IPv6)
Resolver IP address + Port the Query Originated From
Protocol (TCP, UDP, TLS or HTTPS)
Query Name
Query Type
Among other things. Take that as you will.
This guide is very good:

If you get stuck, just ask here and you should receive some friendly help.
- You’re spreding FUD by intentionally leaving out important details
- You linked to the wrong privacy policy (which doesn’t really matter in the end)
According to Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 privacy policy (found here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/commitment-to-privacy/privacy-policy/privacy-policy/):
Except for the three DNS query types discussed below, all of the log information above will be deleted within 24 hours of Cloudflare’s receipt of such information…All information collected by Cloudflare, no matter whether such information is part of Cloudflare’s temporary or permanent logs, will be cleansed of any personally identifiable data (including your IP addresses). Additionally information that is stored as part of Cloudflare’s permanent logs will be further anonymized.
On the page you linked:
All of the above information will be stored briefly as part of Cloudflare’s temporary logs, and then permanently deleted within 24 hours of Cloudflare’s receipt of such information. In addition to the above information, Cloudflare will also collect and store the following information as part of its permanent logs.
Sadly nothing written about Android
Ooooof just buy a Windows PC that’ll fix it
not spreading anything, as I said at the end of the post, “take it as you will”. And i didnt include all the little details because it was too much to state…put it up so people can read it and make their own judgment, thats it.
I also linked that particular privacy policy since it was the one that was in regards to using the 1.1.1.1 DNS with the new DNS over HTTPS technology that Firefox now includes in version 60. The DNS can be used alone as is, but the real benefits come in when enabled in conjunction with Firefox.
What do you want to do with Android? If you want to use Android just as your basic client, the pihole set up works very well.
No more horrible advertising on your Android phone.
urg no thank you. ps i found out it was just Cyberghost auto inputting their DNS. You can turn it off in the settings.
