Do you think your encrypted DNS keeps your browsing private? In this video, I demonstrate why fancy DNS solutions like Cloudflare, Quad9, or Pi-hole won't stop ISPs from seeing and blocking the websites you visit. Using a Raspberry Pi configured as a man-in-the-middle router and a simple Python script (sniblocker.py), I show you exactly how Server Name Indication (SNI) leaks your destination in clear text, even when using TLS 1.3 or HTTPS. Watch as I actively monitor and censor connections to major news sites on my own network, proving how easily governments or internet service providers can log your traffic. Finally, we discuss why routing all your traffic through a VPN is the only reliable way to completely encrypt your SNI data and protect your privacy in 2026. // YouTube video REFERENCE // Your Fancy DNS Tricks Won’t Save You!: https://youtu.be/H-tPCwxdxpY // David's SOCIAL // Discord: https://discord.com/invite/usKSyzb X: https://www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@davidbombal Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gERfuriI96efWWLQQ SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/davidbombal Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/david-bombal/id1466865532 // MY STUFF // https://www.amazon.com/shop/davidbombal // SPONSORS // Interested in sponsoring my videos?
