  • Bypass Transparent DNS Proxy
    1 project | dev.to | 20 Jul 2022
    I search for tools and found dns-over-https. This tool uses Go (1.13 or newer) so it's not a big deal for me since I already use Go. Just clone the repo and compile and then execute doh-client (Go should be available on your system):
  • Kominfo can suck a huge one

    My suggestion: Choose providers that support DNSSEC or server with DoH written in Go (aka m13253). Or if you are interested in new technology, you can try providers that implement Knot Resolver (DoH2).
  • Unbound Now Supports Dns Over Https
    1 project | /r/pihole | 18 Feb 2021
    I concur, right now this method is a little convoluted unless the goal is to take advantage of an upstream VPS. This would only encrypt DNS traffic from the VPS to the requesting devices providing the requesting device also sets up a DoH client. It is way easier to just run an encrypted Wireguard or OpenVPN connection and get a full encryption versus DNS only. Wireguard or OpenVPN can be configured for DNS-only as well. Other methods of creating a DoH server can be done with https://github.com/m13253/dns-over-https/ and Nginx proxy.
