Hello there friends, please explain me how it is with custom dns, adguard for example. I know with standard setttings my isp see everything, but if i will use some encrypted dns what they will see exactly? I know one thing - if i visit for example 9gag they will see that, but if i click memes category on that site they will know i clicked on that category or not? I also know if i want full privacy I must use tor or / with vpn but this time I asking about this situation. Thank you so so much.

With plain DNS the ISP can see that you request example.tld to 1.1.1.1

With encrypted DNS (DoT, DoH, DoQ, DNSCrypt…) the requests are encrypted with TLS or other, o only see that you connected to dns.cloudflare.com not the domain that you request, so it cannot see that you requested example.tld
