Great to hear that Fedora is shielding us from these half-baked ideas
(or contracts?).

Last time it was unsolicited browser extension, now it is DoH to
CloudFlare servers. What will be next? I recommend the following

Many users are used to Firefox now. But was there some discussion about
providing some more privacy-focused browser?


But then have you ever been in the privacy debates at the IETF?  I have 
and lost a couple on very stubborn privacy proponents that just don't 
want to see some tech come to reality because of some vague privacy risk 
when there are so many worst things (e.g. IDEAS BOF from a few years back).


I am having one right now with Unmanned Aircraft RemoteID (see the 
TM-RID BOF from IETF106).  FAA 'owns' all navigable airspace, like maybe 
1" above your lawn and roof up to the top of the mesosphere. The craft 
has to be positively identifiable.  No matter what YOU want.  Now who 
the operator is is another matter.  Mrs. Bitty can't be allowed to 
harass the kids down the block for flying a UA in the park behind her 
home.  But an authorized safety official needs to know who to contact to 
get that UA out of an emergency situation.  A tough set of 
public/privacy issues.  Those of us working on this for some time 
understand this.  Grandstanding does not help.  Nor do things like DoH 
'help'.


And btw, this is pretty much the case for ALL Civil Aircraft 
Administrations (CAA) around the world.

It does sound like a bad new idea to me.  For it to work effectively,
you'd have to change every bit of software (not just web browsers) to
do DNS look-ups in a different way.  And you'd have to trust the new
name resolvers to be better than the old system (and who's to say that
any new scheme won't have a plethora of faults, too).

We already have a DNS resolving system, just improve *it*.  We've had
authentication schemes for it for ages, but people are slack at using
it.  Some aren't thrilled about it's effectiveness, either.  So, do a
better implementation.

I'm getting sick of wheel reinventing.

Re: Fedora 32 Firefox and DNS over HTTPS

2019-11-27 Thread Bill Shirley

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https
Firefox allows users (via settings) and organizations (*via enterprise policies 
and a canary domain lookup*)
to disable DoH when it interferes with a preferred policy.

If you run your own DNS server you can configure the canary hostname lookup to 
fail
to prevent Firefox from using DoH:
Put this in named.conf (I use views, so I put this in the 'internal' view):
    response-policy { zone "rpz"; };
    include "/etc/named/rpz.zones";

/etc/named/rpz.zones:
    zone "rpz"  {
    type    master;
    file    "masters/rpz";
    notify  no;
    allow-transfer  { "localhost_net"; };
    masterfile-format   text;
    };

/var/named/masters/rpz (I think I created the 'masters' directory, you may not 
have it.
If so, just remove the 'masters/' prefix on the file line (above) and from this 
file's name:
$TTL 86400  ; 1 day
@    IN SOA ns1.example.com. bill.example.com. (
    2018051701 ; serial
    7200   ; refresh (2 hours)
    900    ; retry (15 minutes)
    86400  ; expire (1 day)
    120    ; minimum (2 minutes)
    )
    NS  ns1.example.com.
use-application-dns.net CNAME .

This will return a NSDOMAIN for the lookup of use-application-dns.net which will
stop DoH.

The rpz SOA is also a good place to translate external host names to internal 
ones.
imap.example.com.     CNAME   imap.lan.example.com.
With this, the an internal lookup won't fail even if the internet is down.

If you want a high-level discuss on DNS over TLS or over HTTPS see:

https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/telecom/security/the-fight-over-encrypted-dns-boils-over

One thing this article misses is if your company DNS server has an internal view for internal resources, defaulting to some 
outside DNS server breaks this.  Or at least makes directing things the right way is hard.


So what is happening with Firefox in F32?

If you want to know what is happening in F32 you should ask on the "test" list 
where these things
are more likely to be discussed by people in the know.

Fedora 32 Firefox and DNS over HTTPS

2019-11-27 Thread Robert Moskowitz
In the upcoming Fedora 32, is Firefox defaulting to DNS over HTTPS (RFC 
8484)?


BTW, I am currently on F30 and will skip to F32 when it ships.
