I found out today that I can change my dns to acces 1337.to again. My ISP was blocking it. However, it works on chrome, but not on firefox. Why doesn’t it work on firefox?

    Chrome has DNS-over-HTTPS enabled by default. Firefox, however, enables that by default in certain regions only.

    Cloudflare has a comprehensive guide on how to enable it in various browsers.

    P.S. If you dun wanna use Cloudflare as the resolver, quad9 can be an (maybe better) option.

        Not really as hiding dns alone doesn’t give you a big increase in privacy. Your isp can see what sites you visit immediately after anyway.

        It could be argued that sending all your dns requests to a 3rd party by default is actually a decrease in privacy.

          Yeah hiding DNS queries is just one part of the equation. It has to be coupled with other techs/techniques to really achieve privacy.

        1.https does not mean more private. for regular browsing it does not matter 2. it is always good to have 2 browsers or use containers to seperate personal and regular stuff

      Followup question, prowlarr seems to have the same issue. Do you know if and how I can setup prowlarr to use couldflare dns?

        prowlarr does not appear to support customizing DNS. You need to alter your DNS on the OS level. Which OS are you using?

          Linux Ubuntu. What I’ve done so far is change the nameserver in resolv.conf to 1.1.1.1 and installed resolveconf to make it permanent. Basically these steps

            And the issue still persists even after taking those steps?

            Does the dig command confirm 1.1.1.1 is in use?

              Yes. Unfortunately prowlarr seems to have stopped working all together. Some issue with sqlite and there not being a “user” table. It is not my day!

    Go into the settings and enable DNS over HTTPS. That should solve the problem, and honestly you should have it enabled anyway for privacy.

    If you’re accessing 1337.to without a VPN, I don’t think you’re going to be having issues with your internet for much longer, lol
