๐Ÿš€ Privacy DNS Chooser Script v1.0 "Snow Breeze" Released!

Project source code : https://github.com/rollsicecream/privacy-dns-chooser

Dear Community,

I'm thrilled to announce the official release of the Privacy DNS Chooser Script v1.0, code-named "Snow Breeze"! This marks a significant milestone in my journey to simplify the process of enabling DNS-over-TLS with privacy-focused DNS providers on Linux systems using systemd-resolved.

Key Highlights:

  • User-Friendly Setup: Easily configure DNS-over-TLS with a seamless and intuitive CLI Interface
  • Privacy-Focused Providers: Choose from trusted DNS providers like Quad9, Mullvad DNS, and NextDNS (more coming soon!)
  • Enhanced Security: DNS-over-TLS is enabled by default for a more secure online experience.

How to Get Started:

  • Ensure you have systemd-resolved installed on your Linux system.
  • Download the script from GitHub.
  • Run the script with sudo to set up your preferred DNS provider.

Your Feedback Matters:
We value your feedback! Share your experience, report issues, or suggest improvements on GitHub Issues. Your insights help us refine and enhance the Privacy DNS Chooser Script.

Spread the Word:
Help us reach more users by sharing the news! Talk about it, share on your favorite forums, and let your community know about the release.

Thank you!

How are these chosen?

By just putting a number : 1 for Quad9, 2 for Mullvad DNS and 3 for NextDNS.

Oh,sorry. I wasn't asking how the user makes a selection.

As a developer how did you select these DNS services?

Oh OK, this makes sense now. I use the PrivacyGuides DNS resolvers list :

https://privacyguides.org/en/dns

It includes Quad9, Mullvad DNS and NextDNS (which are already included in the script) and I will add Cloudflare, ControlD and AdGuard soon (which are present in the PG website I linked.)
