Its for a guide to a part of a game I’m stuck on and reddit is always the top search result. Fuck this shit.

    Can you enlighten me how that would work, as that makes no sense to me from a technical standpoint?

    I fail to see how Reddit would be able to know how you are communicating with a random recursive resolver on the internet. Or are you running your own recursor and trying to use DoH to access their authoritative servers?

    Edit: I hope I don’t come across as harsh, it’s meant as a genuine question and not to doubt your story. 🙂

      I am not running my own recursor, I am not scraping Reddit.

      I have one browser that forces DNS over HTTPS and one that doesn’t, and the one that doesn’t, also I have yet to encounter this ‘security warning’ with.

      ???

      Also to technically, how would this work?

      It is early in the morning and I am too tired to posit a precise theory/explanation, but I also now realize I forgot to specify that my DoH setup is Oblivious DNS over HTTPS, ODoH… ie, all DNS requests and responses are routed via proxies.

      So… basically, to Reddit, that may look like I am basically using a VPN, as there is no direct link from my actual IP to Reddit.

        Ah, sounds like the issue is not DoH in that case, that would be impossible for Reddit to detect if you are using a browser. I suspect a domain gets blocked in one of your proxies, or Reddit returns alternative records to recursors they know are being used for privacy reasons.
