Hi,

I live in the US, and don't use a VPN. I noticed my firefox is defaulting to sending DNS over HTTPS requests to the default Canadian DNS over HTTPS, rather than the US provider. How can I change my firefox settings to not think I'm Canadian?

Thanks.

That comes from your ISP that isn't something that can be changed. Only way this happens is VPN or Proxy login.

Where are you getting that information? I understand that Canada and USA use the same provider.
