What is this?
This appears in my log but appears as not encrypted. I have NexDNS setup on my Asus router and EVERYTHING shows in the log with the little lock on the right no matter what device is using the internet through the router, EXCEPT this. My main computer is running Windows 11 pro. What is it and why would it not be showing with the lock ?
Any info anyone could give is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

It's trying to verify if you have a working internet connection. If the query is resolved to an IP hardcoded inside Windows, it will assume the DNS is working correctly (otherwise, if it's resolved to another IP it might assume you're in a public wifi that requires logging in and would trigger the browser to open that screen). The algorithm was designed long before DoH-DoT-DoQ drafts, so it probably sidestepped your config somehow.
FWIW, in my W11 install I set up DoH natively and the requests for that domain are still sent through DoH. -
