DoH as an example deliberately and intentionally prohibits firewalls from restricting or obstructing off-network RDNS. it says so on page 1 of the RFC -- they don't try to hide it. those of us figuring out how to cope with a world where firewalls are deliberately and intentionally prohibited by IETF protocol standards action may ask for some new signaling to support our (continuing) obligations. > (At the same time, I do not claim all interference by on-path actors > is "bad" - there are some benefits to firewalls, even if those also > often become brittle, e.g. due to out-dated configs.) thanks for this. to me the foundational principle is that networks have "policy autonomy" and if operators screw things up, they have themselves to blame and their employees, customers, or families can blame them also. to be clear, this means there is no "but", no exception whereby well meaning software suppliers or internet protocol designers can say "yes, it's your network, but we can't allow you to set policy for it." however, i lost that argument, so now i'm just trying to limit the damage, which is why i'm asking for a policy signal path whereby any device which does not obey the local network's policy can be presumed hostile to that policy -- ignorance won't be an excuse. i've already removed all mozilla corporation software from my networks on the basis of their DoH theatrics, but there will be others who don't believe that on my network, my rules actually matter. > (*) To be honest, mine is maybe as loaded a question as if I'd described > things as "full-throated" or wondered about flying pigs etc. But FWIW, I > don't mind a bit of rhetoric at all:-) thanks for this, too. i don't aim for outlandishness; it simply finds me. -- Paul Vixie
