If you want real security, the router's DNS should be the resolver instead of a caching forwarder.
It shows in more ways than one.I'm using ChatGPT...
DNS over TLS setting is neither here nor there and depends on the DNS server your DNS server in the router connects to. The software in the router works like this: if the DNS server doesn't support TLS usuyually it will drop to TCP to see if the DNS is going to connect at a different port, then it reverts to UDP to see if DNS is served by UDP.
Does it?
it uses a cryptography based on a public key, but its primary use is preventing DNS poisoning. Without this, a hacker can intercept and read the DNS stack query,
DNSSEC digitally signs DNS records but it does not encrypt the connection.
Typo? DoT uses port 853 not 8953.
Reading some more about his ISP router I don't think this is particularly "fancy". It appears to use simple DNS redirection for safer browsing, but only when the ISP's DNS servers are selected. This seems to have caused issues for some of the ISP's customers as this behaviour is not well publicised.
Although the Greek Tel Commission has made it obligatory that ISPs cannot bind you down to their own router, it is very difficult to avoid using them altogether because fixed line VOIP is available through them and difficult to set up with third party gateways (passwords expire etc). In any case I would go with Cosmote as the quality of the service is ridiculously good both fixed and mobile.Interesting approach, something new and good to know in my case.
Thanks @tournakos for the heads up because I'll need Internet service in Greece soon.
There is no fiber optics network outside of the bigger cities, your best bet would alsmot certainly be the below. Outdoor equipment offered is very decent.
