DNS translates a hostname to an IP address. Once you get your IP address you’re going to be sending traffic to that address through your ISP so they’ll know what server you’re talking to regardless, DNS reverse lookup exists. Encrypted DNS is not for privacy, it’s for security
Comment on What ISP see when I use custom DNS?

If you don’t want them to see your DNS requests, you can use DNS Over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS Over TLS (DoT) I think

Thanks for clearing that up. But it would still be better than not having it as multiple host names/websites could point to the same IP, right?
Also I’m not sure how you read my comment since I deleted it right after I posted it 😂. Still learning this Lemmy stuff

CDNs muddy those reverse IP lookups. Encrypted DNS (not from your ISP!) + Encrypted Client Hello are effective in masking what site on a CDN is being accessed.
