How to get Orbi to pass through DNS information in DHCP?

That's only true because people have to set up the DoH manually rather than having it be supported by the underlying OS. With the implementation in the Preview version of Windows, it still uses the DNS server provided by DHCP, it just tests that server to see if DoH will work. So the security or content controls of the DNS provider will still apply.

 

This applies to the concerns CrimpOn mentioned as well. However, I don't understand why DoH adoption would have an impact on the need for router firmware updates. It'll probably increase the urgency for one update to provide an option to avoid DHCP proxying, but I don't see any reason there would be less need for updates after that.

Having just become aware of this development today, it seems to me that this is going to a long, complicated rollout.  There must be 100's of different consumer router models installed.  Even a "simple" router update to avoid DNS proxying has to be developed, tested, and rolled out by manufacturers who have shown little interest in updating firmware.  (Verizon sold the Orbi to customers and has never issued a firmware update.)  Suppose the default changes from "DNS Proxy" to "include the DNS server we got from the ISP in our DHCP response."  That means every ISP DNS proxy has to be reprogrammed.

This is sort of "Deja Vu" for me.  When was IPv6 announced as the "solution to IPv4 running out of numbers"?  And here we are in the middle of 2020.  DoH is going on my list of "things to watch out for."
