Hi guys,

I was searching which protocol is better for privacy and so far DNScrypt is better (according to my research).

What’s your opinion?

    I’ve never heard of DNSCrypt. What supposedly makes it better? DoH works fine and is the best way to “hide” DNS traffic as far as I can tell.

    Yes, because UDP > TCP. They keep using excuses like that UDP is unreliable, because you can lost packets, I have never lost a single one.

    They want people to use easily tracked TCP. UDP is a simple request, TCP has to establish the connection, QUIC by Google is even worse.

    Unfortunately DNScrypt was never accepted as a standard, so it will eventually fade away and we will be forced to use DoH, I prefer DoT.

        It is supposed to replace TCP, but till then it sort of uses both. I use it only on Brave for Youtube/Google.

        QUIC uses UDP for ports and connectionless transport, then adds the resiliency of TCP, the security of TLS 1.3, sprinkles in a dash of commands and version control from protocols like SMB, and then mixes in a set of new protocol concepts and efficiencies to create something entirely unique in the protocol world.

        For now, but they are slowly being abandoned in favor of DoH and DoQ. DoT is deprecated even on Android 13 and replaced by DoH.
