alt Hacker NewsLast I checked Verizon FIOS still has the opt-out. You have to go into your account preferences and manually disable it because spying is on by default.
This is a good reminder to login and take a look, I wouldn't put it past them to change the setting name and reset the default.
edit: apparently Verizon has zero record of the username I've used for my FIOS account for years (and have saved in my password manager). Their account reset also fails with an error. What a dumpster fire of a company.

You should be NATing outbound 53 to a local resolver that upstreams to DoH/DoT. Relying on such an opt-out is rather optimistic.

Yep, I've been in Verizon online account purgatory for awhile now. They merged my mom's with mine and nothing works to reset or restore online account access for even bill pay. I have to push their payment out via billpay. I really need to move that phone number over to voip, I kept the classic POTS line as a type 1 diabetic I like that it stayed on during both NYC blackouts in 2003 and 2012. But now I'm in a fiber only building and that redundancy is mostly moot.
