Cloudflare is bad. Youre right.

Centralization is bad for everyone everywhere.

That bring said... I just moved my homeserver to another city... and I plugged in the power, then I plugged in the ethernet, and that was the whole shebang.

Tunnels made it very easy. No port forwarding no dns configuration no firewall fiddling no nothing.

Why do they have to make it so so easy...

It's actually better privacy since it talks directly to the root servers instead of cloudflare knowing all of your DNS traffic. Quad9 is a good alternative with better data policies

So now your ISP sees all of your queries instead of CF. (Assuming the cloudflared option is using DoH)

I'll trust Cloudflare over Comcast/AT&T/etc. any day of the week.

You can run a VPN and tunnel your outbound DNS queries over that. Heck, you could tunnel your DNS queries over TOR

Your ISP knows where you're going anyway. They don't need DNS for that. They see all the traffic.
