Fail With DOT

For years I have been managing Artix, but I had never had a success on Devuan 5. Nor do I know how to set up network on Devuan.

What is happening:

1. I put DOT capable IPs in KDEs network manager GUI. Testing shows, that not DOT is used. Plain queries ((. It should be default, but isn't. It's been buffling me for years that you don't do this by default. This bears the question if you use your own creationa at all. If you were then you wouldn't allow plain text DNS querries, would you? I don't understand this behavior of nm.

2. I looked for "stubby-openrc" but cannot find it. I also theoreticaly could "cap_net_bind blah blah" reprogramm it (systemd has stubby working out of the box!). But I'm stuck and I don't want to dwell on it.

HOW do you (step by step) do stubby on open-rc Devuan 6? THIS IS A COMPLETE SHOWSTOPPER FOR ME. I cannot continue the setup until I have this issue resolved.

DOT via stubby works like charm on Artix runit.

How do you do this on Devuan 6 Opne-RC? Your help is going to be immensly appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Fail With DOT

What is DOT ?

DNS over TLS, AKA a somewhat less retarded attempt to break the 'net than DoH, from the usual paranoia crowd who think moving trust from their ISP to some other random entity (usually Google or Cloudflare) is progress.

you wouldn't allow plain text DNS querries, would you?

DNS is handled on my router, because I have a brain.

I don't understand this behavior of nm

Then you should probably ask RedHat, Devuan didn't write NetworkMangler.

I looked for "stubby-openrc" but cannot find it.

What makes you think someone else should write your init scripts for you?
The stubby package comes with a sysvinit script, because that's the default init. OpenRC is supported, but you don't get everything handed to you on a silver platter.
If you want an openrc init script, swiping it from Artix will probably work without too much modification. Otherwise, writing your own isn't complicated.

THIS IS A COMPLETE SHOWSTOPPER FOR ME.

Huh, what a coincidence. Shouting is a complete showstopper for me providing any kind of spoon feeding step-by-step instructions.

Your help is going to be immensly appreciated.

With the entitled and confrontational attitude you've displayed in all your posts so far, I'll be surprised if you get much of that.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

Re: Fail With DOT

The initscript for stubby didn't make it in before the Debian Trixie freeze: https://tracker.debian.org/news/1650899 … erimental/

If anyone wants the current version in Excalibur it might be worth politely indicating on the Debian BTS that there would be demand for a stable backport.
