# DoT, DoH, DNSCrypt, DNS over Tor and Local DNS: What actually protects you?
# DoT, DoH, DNSCrypt, DNS over Tor and Local DNS: What actually protects you? (and tutorials on how to set each of them up)
DNS is the most common way to resolve domain names into IP addresses. It's a pretty old protocol that still works, albeit with some shortcomings that have plagued the protocol over the years. The protocol lacks any encryption which allows any 3rd party with access to your connection (such as your ISP, etc.) to easily spy on DNS queries or even intercept and replace DNS responses to sabotage access to certain websites.
Several solutions have popped up over the years to fix these issues, These mostly just act as wrappers around the DNS protocol in a way. This blogpost will measure the advantages and disadvantages of these solutions, and also offer a guide on how to set up each of them.
