What is DoH?
DNS Over Https
Not to be confused with
DNS Over TLS
It's just a way of keeping your ISP from reading your DNS requests.
Not just reading. A while back, some ISPs moved towards replacing DNS queries to known DNS servers with their own replies.
Yeah, I still want to be over ISPs replacing DNS failures with their own search engines been happening for decades
DNS over HTTPS. It allows encrypted DNS lookup with a URL, which allows for url-based customizations not possible with traditional DNS lookups (e.g. the server could have /ads or /trackers endpoints so you can choose what to block).
DNS Over TLS (DoT) is similar, but it doesn't use URLs, just IP addresses like generic DNS. Both are encrypted.
