If allowed, doesn't DoH/DoT mitigate this issue?

Not if your employer has installed a root CA on your machine, enabling them to man-in-the-middle all your TLS connections.

Oh that's a thing? That's kinda frightening

Not necessarily, as the browser is still logging the history.

Well that's what private mode is for, to dump the local data after closing the browser session

I know I'm here a week later, but a large number of system administrators disable browser proxy systems, dns over https, and incognito. It's a neverending war.

Pretty much, but (noob question) how can they block DoH, wouldn't they have to block HTTPS completely as well?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They control the browser settings itself. It's either a work managed device or profile.

Ah ok that makes sense
