No you don't. If you use DoH or Dnscrypt over a VPN, the DNS provider can't associate the traffic with your IP (mitigating control of sorts).


They can associate the DNS calls with any VPN, too, can't they? If you use one of the 'big' commercial VPNs, I'd seriously doubt any of them are not logging at this point. They'd have already been warned due to 10's of thousands copyright violations originating from their networks, not to mention a lot of not-so-technical users, believing that they're actually anonymous, doing criminal things without realizing that the VPN logs it all.

Running your own Wireguard or OpenVPN on a cloud VPS is no solution, either. It's guaranteed that Amazon, Azure, etc. keep logs of all traffic, and will turn over the associated account without hesitation.


The DNS provider can't know your real IP, the VPN provider can't see your DNS traffic because dnscrypt,DoT and DoH encrypt the traffic.
