Summary

GL.iNet has introduced a new router model, the AR750S, which supports DNS-over-TLS using Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 resolver. This feature encrypts DNS queries before leaving the local network, enhancing privacy and preventing eavesdropping. The router can also force DNS traffic to be encrypted for all clients, including IoT devices with hard-coded DNS settings that would otherwise ignore the router's DNS settings. The AR750S maintains the same form factor as its predecessor, the AR750, and includes other useful features such as external storage capacity, an OpenVPN client, and micro USB power port.
