dns-over-tls in Dino

[NektoNektovich]

Is DNS-over-tls (dot) implemented in Dino or does the Internet provider see DNS requests to the xmpp server?

AFAIK, Dino does not divert from the standard/underlying GTK networking capabilities delivered by GIO, therefore deferring resolution to system-defined DNS servers. As is almost always the case, that's where you should look to mitigate 3rd-party DNS inspection as needed. Barring that possibility, then yes, the ISP sees all queries in the clear.

Also FWIW this is unlikely to become a feature request given Dino's focus on usability. DoT is great but its use of non-standard port 853 would create headaches for many that are best left to other systems.

thanks for the answer. however, it is sad that you do not consider the option of using DOT in Dino as optional at the discretion of the user, because many would benefit from it, since setting up a dnscrypt proxy for the entire system is very complex and often redundant 🙄
