If my threat model realistically involved TLAs or other state-sponsored actors I would not be advertising what I do or do not know on a public forum such as Lemmy, haha.
This conversation was in the conext of running Unbound, which is a recursive resolver and AFAIK DNS "encryption" isn't a thing in a way that helps in this scenario... DoH, DoT, and DNSCrypt are all only concerned/deployed by recursive servers, meaning unbound isn't using those. DNSSEC only provides authentication (preventing tampering) of the response, not any sort of encryption/hiding.
I'm also running unbound on my opnsense, configured to use root DNS servers. Don't recall what exactly is enabled.
Yours is a good point why I should run all my traffic through a Wireguard tunnel to my dedicated server, so that my ISP is out of the loop.
