Cloudflare WARP's DNS over HTTPS feature provides robust protection against DNS attacks such as spoofing and man-in-the-middle by encrypting the DNS queries. Traditional DNS queries are unencrypted, making them vulnerable to interception and modification. An attacker could spoof a DNS response, directing you to a malicious site. By encrypting queries and their responses within an HTTPS tunnel, DoH ensures the integrity and authenticity of the DNS data, making it extremely difficult for attackers to tamper with or forge DNS records.
