Securing your DNS (Domain Name System) traffic is a necessary step to ensure your online activities remain private and free from interference. FlokiNET DNS resolver offers a free, high-security, and privacy-focused open DNS recursive service that guarantees your IP address is never logged.
It’s important to understand how different encryption protocols like DNS over TLS (DoT) and DNS over HTTPS (DoH) work to protect your online privacy. Both protocols offer encryption, but they serve different purposes and have distinct advantages.
What is DNS over TLS (DoT)?
DNS over TLS (DoT) is a protocol that uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt DNS queries. By doing so, it prevents anyone from snooping on your DNS requests, ensuring that your browsing history remains private.
- Encryption: DoT encrypts your DNS traffic, keeping your queries safe from interception.
- Port Use: DoT operates through port 853, which is dedicated to DNS traffic.
- Privacy: It’s an ideal choice for users who want strong privacy protection but without additional complexities.
What is DNS over HTTPS (DoH)?
DNS over HTTPS (DoH) works similarly to DoT by encrypting DNS queries, but it uses HTTPS (the protocol for secure websites) instead of TLS. DoH operates on port 443, which is the same port used for secure web traffic, making it harder to block or filter.
- Encryption: DoH encrypts your DNS queries using HTTPS, providing an additional layer of security.
- Port Use: It uses port 443, making it nearly indistinguishable from regular HTTPS traffic.
- Bypassing Censorship: DoH is particularly useful for users in regions where internet censorship or DNS filtering is common.
Which one should you choose?
While both DoT and DoH offer encryption, they serve slightly different purposes. Your choice depends on your specific needs:
- DNS over TLS (DoT): If you want straightforward encryption for your DNS queries, DoT is a solid choice. It’s easy to implement and provides effective privacy protection.
- DNS over HTTPS (DoH): DoH is best for users who need extra security or want to bypass censorship. Since it uses port 443, DoH is harder to detect and block.
Both protocols ensure your DNS traffic is encrypted and secure, protecting your privacy as you browse the web.

I added both your RO and NL DNS over TLS servers to my ipfire firewall. They both give me a reverse lookup failed while several others DNS over TLS entries work just fine. Is this normal?
Your firewall might does not support DoT or DoH which could be the cause
