The latest version (v83) of Google’s popular Chrome<\/a> website browser has finally made its new ‘Secure DNS’ feature available to all, which by “default … will automatically upgrade you<\/em>” to use their DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) service. But in order to placate concerns it only does this if your current broadband ISP supports it.<\/p>\n

At present most Domain Name System<\/strong> (DNS) requests, which turn Internet Protocol<\/strong> (IP<\/a>) addresses into human readable domain names like ISPreview.co.uk and back again, are still unencrypted and this makes it easy for your internet service provider to snoop, filter (e.g. block websites \/ parental controls etc.) and even optimise some aspects of your internet connectivity (e.g. better direction of traffic for Content Delivery Networks etc.).<\/p>\n

By comparison the DNS-over-HTTPS<\/strong> (DoH) system encrypts DNS requests by sending them over the common HTTPS protocol for websites. On the one hand this is a welcome security and privacy improvement. On the other hand big ISPs and governments are concerned that wide-scale adoption by major third-parties (e.g. website browser software that enables it by default) could disrupt some of their services (as above).<\/p>\n

Mozilla’s rival Firefox<\/strong> browser initially took most of the flak for this approach after they introduced a Cloudflare based DoH system by default in the USA, although concerns raised by ISPs and the UK Government later resulted in them saying that they had “no plan<\/em>s” to do the same over here (here<\/a>). But you can still optionally enable it or choose a custom DoH server.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve covered all of this quite a lot before (here<\/a> and here<\/a>) and at one point the ISPA<\/a> even controversially labelled Mozilla as an “Internet Villain<\/em>” for their aspiration to enable the feature by default (i.e. taking DNS requests away from ISPs and making it harder to intercept them in the traffic flow), which was promptly withdrawn following a backlash (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Now it’s Chrome’s turn to enter the fray, which is arguably much more significant given their status as the largest web browser. However, the approach taken by Google is a softer one, which only enables DoH (Secure DNS<\/strong>) if your current internet provider supports it.<\/p>\n

Google’s Statement for Chrome v83<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re also launching Secure DNS, a feature designed to improve your security and privacy while browsing the web. When you access a website, your browser first needs to determine which server is hosting it, using a step known as a “DNS (Domain Name System) lookup<\/em>.” Chrome’s Secure DNS feature uses DNS-over-HTTPS to encrypt this step, thereby helping prevent attackers from observing what sites you visit or sending you to phishing<\/a> websites.<\/p>\n

By default, Chrome will automatically upgrade you to DNS-over-HTTPS if your current service provider supports it. You can also configure a different secure DNS provider in the Advanced security section, or disable the feature altogether.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At present none of the major broadband providers have launched their own DoH solution to replace unencrypted DNS, although BT<\/a> have conducted trials (here<\/a>) and so have some smaller providers like AAISP<\/a> (here<\/a>). Much like Firefox, users of Google’s Chrome browser can also optionally add their own choice of DoH server to the browser and use that if they prefer.<\/p>\n

Naturally ISPs that don’t need to filter, manipulate or snoop on DNS traffic will find it much easier to establish their own DoH solutions in the future. In the meantime if you do choose to enable DoH then just remember that it may break certain features on the bigger broadband and mobile operators, some of which may have a negative impact on your experience, but you can always disable it if that happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
