What DNS service are you using?

Adguard DNS

 

Hi,
in HTTPS links with URLhaus malware content, it is usually lower in detection than Quad9.
Example:




You can also check for yourself.

 

Adguard has no problem detecting https urls that are a day old. It’s the very recent ones that it doesn’t detect.

I don’t mind. Since malware detecting is only a bonus for me when using the DNS

 

Simple and effective option in NextDNS:

 

I tried Quad 9 and the others but always go back to CleanBrowsing Malware Filter DOH. I have CB DOH in the DOH setting in desktop Chrome, CB DOH on my phone, and the DOH setting in Kaspersky Cloud.

 

is it just me having issues with google services when on q9 dns? everytime i try to log in to my g accounts, it asks for phone verification. no issues with other dns service providers.

 

I haven't had that but I have had connectivity issues lately, especially with Google, using Quad9 DNS from within AdGuard.
These problems went away when I switched to Cloudflare.
Back with Quad9 now, but still seems slow ... I had attributed this to AdGuard issues, but maybe not, maybe it is Quad9?
Will continue to check it out.

 

ok, thanks, paul. good to know that i'm not the only one having issues with them.

 

You live in South Africa right? Traffic is routing to the next closest location.

Check: https://quad9.net/service/locations

 

I've tried using this on my phone and I get an almost daily notification that my phone has no network access because the DNS is unreachable.

 

@paulderdash
now that i think of it, maybe google finds their service a little bit over aggressive?

 

yeah, every now and then i get this too on my mobile on ag dns (i'm using ag premium and the dns is set to ag dns on quic).

 

Thanks, I see Cape Town is in 'bypass' so probably routing through Durban or Johannesburg.

 

Could be ... I have AdGuard Premium on two laptops and Android phone - all using Quad9 DNS.
Only other one I've tried is Cloudflare Secure - which did seem faster at the time on my laptops, but I still lean towards Quad9 (see post #81).

 

I use NextDNS.

 

i see. q9 is the fastest one for me, but i just can't use it because of the issues i'm having with google when i'm on it.

 

free or paid?

 

Paid.

 

wow, nice.

 

I've never noticed any issues. Either I'm not having them or don't recognize them.

 

glad to hear that. i hope my issues get reolved soon because i really like q9.

 

It would be good if UBO had a filter for this. https://www.tripwire.com/state-of-s...reduce-security-threats-in-your-organisation/

 

if somewhere someone is maintaining a filter list of that sort, then you can use it with ubo. the question is does there exist such a filter list?

 

I've had the same problem and stopped using DoT on Android because of it. I still use AdGuard DoH within Kiwi Browser with no problems.

 

Oddly enough, I also began having issues with Q9 DoH on Firefox (pages not loading, etc.), so I switched to Clean Browsing Malware Filter about a month ago and have been happy with it.
