[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 761446, member: 55987"] From what I know there are a few ways to protect your DNS queries 1) Using a VPN. Here the VPN provider encrypts the DNS queries. Protection is system-wide 2) Setting DNS in WIndows. Protection here is also system-wide 3) DNS over HTTPS. Here the browser offers the encryption of the DNS queries. Protection is NOT system-wide 4) Using software like SimpleDNSCrypt. Protection is system-wide 5) Configuring DNS in your router. System-wide protection 6) Hardware-based DNS protection like having your own DNS server. Protection is again system-wide Unless the encrypted DNS queries have been hijacked (like MITM attack) I doubt malware could access your system by this route . I could be wrong here. [/QUOTE]
