![]() Aside from the difference in colour, the GL-AR750S itself is identical in form-factor to the GL-AR750 and was packaged up very similarly. On arrival back to our London office, I found a package from Hong Kong waiting for me. Last week whilst working in Cloudflare’s San Francisco office, they reached out to me over Twitter to let me know they were soon to launch a new product with a new web UI containing a “DNS over TLS from Cloudflare” feature and offered to send me the new router before it was even available for pre-order. GL.iNet were in contact since I wrote the original blog post and very supportive of encrypting DNS queries at the router level. In that post, I went through the technical steps required to modify a router using OpenWRT to support DNS Privacy using the DNS-Over-TLS protocol. This makes it relatively trivial for an intermediary to work out what site you’re sending traffic to. In my previous blog post I discussed how DNS was often the weakest link in the chain when it came to browsing privacy whilst HTTP traffic is increasingly encrypted, this is seldom the case for DNS traffic. ![]() Their new router can also be configured to force DNS traffic to be encrypted before leaving your local network, which is particularly useful for any IoT or mobile device with hard-coded DNS settings that would ordinarily ignore your routers DNS settings and send DNS queries in plain-text. The folks at GL.iNet read that blog post and decided to bake DNS-Over-TLS support into their new router using the 1.1.1.1 resolver, they sent me one to take a look at before it’s available for pre-release. For this, I used the GL.iNet GL-AR750 because it was pre-installed with OpenWRT (LEDE). Credit card for comparison.īack in April, I wrote about how it was possible to modify a router to encrypt DNS queries over TLS using Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS Resolver. GL.iNet GL-AR750S in black, same form-factor as the prior white GL.iNet GL-AR750. ![]() Junade Ali, the Lead Support Operations Engineer at Cloudflare, to test out the “DNS-Over-TLS” feature and here‘s what he said about Slate: DNS-Over-TLS Built-In & Enforced - 1.1.1.1 and the GL.iNet GL-AR750SĮarlier this month, we sent out a prototype of Slate to Mr. ![]()
