DNS Security and Privacy check
1 min readDec 26, 2018
Cloudflare has a tool to check your browser security and privacy against potential attacks that has to do with DNS.
With Firefox 64, is very simple to get all the tests green. Open about:config
Set the following properties:
network.trr.mode: 1
network.security.esni.enabled: true
Done :)
No need to restart. Run the Cloudflare test again and will be all green.

Updated Jan 14, 2019: I noticed that the proper value for network.trr.mode is 1, not 2 as reported in the Mozilla blog and in the original version of this post. Probably something changed from the nightly and the last stable release.
