<li>DNS-over-TLS (DoT) - A security protocol for encrypted DNS on a dedicated port 853. Some providers support port 443 which generally works everywhere while port 853 is often blocked by restrictive firewalls. DoT has two modes:</li>
<ul>
<li>Oppurtunistic mode: the client attempts to form a DNS-over-TLS connection to the server on port 853 without performing certificate validation. If it fails, it will use unencrypted DNS. <span class="badge badge-warning" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="In other words automatic mode leaves your DNS traffic vulnerable to SSL strip and MITM attacks"><i class="fas fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></span></li>
<li>Strict mode: the client connects to a specific hostname and performs certificate validation for it. If it fails, no DNS queries are made until it succeeds.</li>
</ul>
<li>DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) - Similar to DoT, but uses HTTPS instead, being indistinguishable from "normal" HTTPS traffic on port 443. <span class="badge badge-warning" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="DoH contains metadata such as user-agent (which may include system information) that is sent to the DNS server."><a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8484#section-8.2"><i class="fas fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></a></span></li>
