So it turns out I got myself into an ISP that was shittier than expected (I already knew it was kinda shity), they DNS hijack for whatever reason and I can’t manually set my own DNS on my router or even my devices.
Cyber security has never been my forte but I’m always trying to keep learning as I go. I’ve read that common solutions involve using a different port (54) or getting a different modem/router or just adding a router.
Are they alll true? Whats the cheapest, easiest way of dealing with all of this?
Setup a local DNS server in your local network, and configure it to forward everything to an external DNS provider over TLS (port 853 usually). This is known as DNS over TLS (or DoT as other people mentioned).
