DNS Over TLS on OPNSense - Extra Online Privacy Using Encryption

Hey all and welcome to my channel! In this video I am going to show you how to use the built-in features that comes with the Unbound DNS service on your OPNSense firewall, to unlock additional privacy and security by using DNS over TLS to encrypt all your DNS transmissions over your network.

DNS by default sends all requests and responses in plaintext on UDP port 53, which means that anyone eavesdropping on your transmission such as a ISP or hacker can see exactly which websites you are going to, and even worse opens you up to in-path attacks where a hacker can manipulate the DNS response sending you to a site of their choosing.

Lets fix this in 5 minutes by enabling DNS over TLS on OPNsense using free DNS services provided by Google, CloudFlare or Quad9.
